The limits for /home and /outpost have been increased to 80 and 60 a day (doubled) respectively. Don’t forget, you can also use /tpb to go back to your last location after using /home or /outpost. /tpb does not count towards the limits.

This change will become active at the 5:00am reboot on Tuesday the 20th.

Starting at the 5am reboot on May 14th, players not aligned with the person raiding an abandoned base should be ejected from the dome if they try to enter the base. They can still enter the dome, but should not be able to enter the base or loot any items.

As always, please report any issues you see on our Discord in #admin-help

On May 12th, we moved to a new server location back in Dallas. The goal with this move is to hopefully get more reliable hardware than we had in New York.

Some other changes going forward:

• Daily reboots are back to 5am and 5pm US Eastern Time.
• Extended reboots on the 14th and 27th will take place at 7am.

• The new meats (Crocodile, Big Cat, Snake) should be cooking faster now.
• Convoy has been temporarily disabled due to a possible issue while we and the plugin author investigate.

An issue that was blocking the Attack Heli from damaging NPCs with rockets has been fixed.

Due to an issue with the Easter update, the Plane Crash and Heli Refuel events have been temporarily removed until the next reboot. A fix from the author has already been loaded in, but requires a reboot. So the events will be available again after the 6am reboot on the 11th.

We are going to start allowing up to 2 windmills per person. We had removed these due to client side lag, but feel like most players should be able to handle the rendering of them now so long as they are kept in check.

This is a TEST run and it may end at any time. If the testing shows strong client side issues, we may remove all windmills on the server at that time. So keep that in mind when planning your builds. If you notice any rendering lag caused by them, please let us know on Discord by making a ticket in #admin-help.

Again: The windmills (including deployed ones) may be deleted from the server if issues arise!

Remember, we offer the test gen in the shop for just 50RP. You can get up to 300 power for each test gen!

Hello April, Hello Spring!
Here are the changes we have for this month:

• We are changing our daily reboot schedule to better align us with Steam maintenance windows and OS patch installs. New reboot times will be 6am and 6pm US Eastern time daily.
• It appears that FacePunch may have finally fixed the search lights not projecting light correctly. This should also mean the light on the mini should be working correctly now.
• FacePunch has added a few new items this month:
  • Horse Costume
  • Cerulean Rustigé Egg
  • Adobe High Wall (skin of the high stone wall)
  • Adobe High External Gate (skin of the high stone gate)
  • Frontier High Wall (skin of the high wooden wall) – Not officially released
  • Frontier High External Gate (skin of the high wooden gate) – Not officially released
• All high wall/gate skins should be available in skinbox. Note that the Frontier wall and gate are not officially released, but do “appear” in skinbox. The new egg will be added to the shop shortly after wipe as will the Horse Costume.

FacePunch will also be releasing an update on April 10th around 1:00 Eastern for their Easter event. As of now, the update is not a forced update, so we will likely hold on installing it until our 6pm reboot.

The earlier change to the hoppers (regarding them being blocked from picking up non-teammate items) has been reverted as it was blocking the pickup of horse dung. So hoppers will now function as before.

A few changes with updates at the 5pm reboot today:

• Players can now kill/harvest chickens in their own and teammates chicken coops.
• Hoppers should not be able to pull target items dropped by non-teammates.
• In some cases, patrol heli could damage beehives and chicken coops. This should be fixed.
