I have been looking at some of your builds. Thanks for all that :)Michael Eh? wrote:This server is just like Mars .... DEAD.
I started rebuilding my base, playing painting mod for billboards and signage. I've adding extensive builds.
1) Roads: Building roads with color coded side bars so players can find their way. Leads to new areas to build.
2) MARS Sentry program. Alien spawns are piling up so I setup protect security cam turrets. There is 3 style of
turrets. Each turret is marked off with warning tape. Turrets can be moved as needed.
Red Check: simple security camera
Grey Check: Turret with shop
Gold : Full service. Shelter with air, shops. Limited since they're expensive to build.
3) Green Areas: With ponds with chest of mars cobble and a few compost bins. Free for all players to use.
Please refill mossy cobble.
Players can build near roads, sentry or ponds without the 100 block restriction. Turrets might be move once players have their own defenses.
Bring back Iron Man shop. I need more chickens now I have sustainable air. New air has been the death of the server.
Yes, may be. Seems quite dead like Mars. xD
Air isn't a problem i guess. Someone can sustain on spawn air almost forever unless he makes his own.
Also an info on AIr making: you can almost automatize air with mesecon. They go out every 30 mins. with a 50% degrade chance. So, you can make a machine setup for that :) It will give advance player like you to make some good continuous air production automation. You can put your chickens and stuff in there :)
I think lots of aliens scaring people off. :P People screaming sometimes about aliens i see their messages. May be we consider removing aliens. But, killing aliens completely will remove some important drops like copper etc. for which we have to reset the map which will be disastrous. Although, we can reset with new mapgen juli has made and saving some good buildings like yours, daneel's, cryterion's, trance's and other major builds. :) Let me talk about this to linus and juli.
Also, you need to keep posting things, pictures etc on forum time to time and include new things / mod to attract new player which we haven't been doing since couple of months. So, complete dry season are normal in opensource game servers sometimes esp. something like dead Mars :P. Moreover, if you can contribute and/or post in forum or in github code; you should do it too. It's a community thing. Aule did a great job updating the scifi mod. It's like that.
Iron man was gone for some correction purposes. It is back now. :)
There is some server problem caused by vending machine because that mod's code isn't updated since 2 years or so. So, we have to remove that mod and install a new type of vending machine may be.
I am also a little busy with some other work till February end. Hope, i will try repair and remove some stuff in the mean time.
