The plugin we have used for a long time to modify stack sizes has not been updated since the November wipe. This has caused some issues with new items like the Handmade SMG. We have decided to switch to a different stacks plugin and have rolled it out with the 5:00pm reboot. Please let us know on our Discord in #admin-help if you notice any issues with stacks. All stacks should be 500k with the exception of photos and headbags.

Animal AI and Population
We have been tweaking the animal population a bit to see if it will help server side FPS (especially with the new Wolf AI). However, the adjustments didn’t help as much as we had hoped. The new Wolf AI is great, but is a major source of resource drain.
Server FPS is already getting very low just a few days into wipe. So we are going to go ahead and kill off animal AI for now.
Item Retriever Update and Building Workbench
Item Retriever has been updated. This ‘should’ fix the issues with weapons not reloading correct (or any) ammo from the backpack plugin.
Building workbench has been added. We are going to be watching the load it creates and may have to remove it later. But for now, you should be able to access your workbench from anyplace inside your base. NOTE: You must have TC auth to access the workbench this way and you may have to move around some before it detects you correctly.
Convoy Is Back!
Convoy FINALLY received it’s needed update and is back! Our work on it’s config was paused during this time. However, now that the event is back live, we can continue work on fine tuning it. Please let us know if you see anything not working right on our Discord in #admin-help.
Arena events are back
The PVP Arena events are back including Chopper Survival.
We are still waiting on an update for Convoy from the author.
NTeleport Updated
NTeleport has been updated to support teleporting from inside a god rock. You can also now set a /home inside one.
Convoy Disabled Temporarily
The Convoy Event has been temporarily disabled due to an error in the plugin that keeps causing the convoy to get stuck. Once the author has released an update, the event will return.
Shotgun Traps and Flame Turrets – max 20.
Shotgun traps and flame turrets have been set to 20 max per player (inline with auto-turrets). If you have already deployed more than that on this wipe, you will be able to keep them. However, you won’t be able to place any more until you reduce the total under 20.
October Wipe
October is here, and fall is in the air…..oh wait…that’s the smell from the new Radtown…sorry. Anyway, here are some notes for October wipe:
- New monuments: Oasis, Lake, Canyon and Radtown. Radtown has also been populated with NPCs, so watch out!
- Convoy has been updated to a new layout. We are still working on the loot tables (all required updating for the new version) but the event is now live. We will continue to refine the loot table throughout the month. Convoy will now also travel the side roads, not just the main ring road.
- Our PVP arena events are currently disabled and likely will remain so. The author of the event plugin has not shown any interest in updating that plugin and the changes at force wipe have broken it.
There were roughly 20 plugins that required an update. While we always try to test them out on our test server first, that doesn’t mean we didn’t miss something. So please, if you see something wrong, let us know via #admin-help on our Discord so we can look at it for you.
Enjoy! 🙂
September Force Wipe – Going Monthly
Wipe day is here! This month, based on our Discord poll, we are switching back to a monthly wipe schedule. With this change, however, comes a few restrictions:
- Max number of large furnaces per player is now 3
- Max number of other furnaces (small, electric, legacy, oil refineries) is 4
- Auto-purge is now set to 3 days rather than 5. Players must join at least once every 3 days or their entities will be wiped.
- Events are more spaced out – 45 minutes between launching (Convoy, Armored Train, Gas Station).
- Raidable bases will no longer auto spawn. Players can still purchase via /buyraid
There were also MANY plugin updates this month. Too many to list here. So if you see any issues, PLEASE make a ticket on our Discord in #Admin-Help so we can look into it for you.
