The Industrial Conveyor speed has been reverted back to vanilla while we continue to debug the server performance issues.

The number of allowed purchasable bases at one time has been reduced from 5 to 3 while we continue to look at system performance. This means only 4 bases will be allowed to run at a time. The server spawned one and 3 purchased bases.

The speed of the Industrial Conveyor has been increased to better match the quick smelting plugin. Should help prevent backlog of output in furnaces.

Building skins plugin has been updated to support the new Brutalist skin for stone.

Convoy has been updated. The biggest fix is that turrets will not attack a moving convoy now. However, if you attack a convoy at your base, your turrets will then engage the NPCs.

Chest Stacks have been added. Players can now stack loot chests up to three high. Some Notes:

• To place a stacked chest, position it over the bottom chest and RIGHT-CLICK to place it.
• Remover tool will NOT remove stacked chests (at least not currently). The only way to remove a stacked chest is to pick it up with the hammer.

The plugin we were using for loot prevention (blocking other players from looting your items) has ceased development and been removed. We’ve been testing a replacement on the test server for several weeks and have now moved it to live.

While we believe players shouldn’t notice anything different, please let us know if you do. You can make a ticket on our Discord in #admin-help to report the issue.

This is a ‘fairly’ big change regarding weapon mods and stack sizes in regards to what happens when adding mods to your weapons.

In the past: If players tried to drop a large stack of say 10k laser sights on their weapon, the server would have to process all 10k sights. It would allow 1 to go on the weapon and return the other 9,999 to the player’s inventory. As you can imagine with 500k stack sizes, this can consume a LOT of server resources which can cause lag for both you as well as other players. This is one of the reasons we have not increased stack sizes more.

To help with the server resources: Starting with the September 25th 5am reboot, the server will no longer ‘protect’ the stacks in this way. Players that drop a 10k or even 500k stack of mods onto a weapon will see the entire stack added to the weapon. Players should consider only dropping 1 mod from a stack onto their weapons (Right-click Drag and Drop) to prevent losing the stack if they lose their weapon.

Removing protections like this is not a choice we make easily. Players losing an entire stack of mods when they lose their weapon isn’t fun and we get that. However, we feel that it’s in the best interest of the server as a whole. Nobody likes any kind of lag, so we will always try to battle it as best we can.

Smelting has been slowed down to help with server stability. Still faster than vanilla of course. Payout is still 1:50 base and larger furnaces still have the same multipliers for increasing payouts.

The Shipwreck event has been removed due to lack of play. We will look at another event here soon.
