Darkshira

Thank you for posting this, will follow. I have been experiencing everything you mentioned above. I initially set my pumpjacks and quarries like past wipes, but I upgraded to a level 20 pumpjack. The pipes wouldn't work at all with that level, I broke it down and was thinking to replace it as two level ten pumpjacks like in the past. I was able to get one pumpjack going with a loop and connected to a single furnace to smelt (See information about the furnace connection issues below.) But I continually had problems with individual pipes stopping and I could find no reason for some pipes to flow and some not. Furnaces are also working differently and the only way I could get a flow to them was not having anything selected in the pipe filter, which meant all materials were flowing into the same furnace. This was fine it meant only one furnace needed. I could get pipes to empty cooked materials out of the furnace through filtered pipes to sort into individual boxes. I came back on this evening and could see that the pumpjack had worked for a while, but the refineries had turned off because the low-grade fuel had stopped flowing out and they were clogged, therefore the quarry had also stopped producing. I hope this helps.

I found this wipe to be easier unless I was trying to drive the road where the bases are crowded, then I figured out it was easier to bang my car with a hammer and run past then call it in further down the road! I did build further away and off a main road, my bases tend to be medium size and I usually have just one level 10 PJ and one level 10 quarry as I try not to add too much to the lag. I really enjoyed the events the admin put on, you have a top notch crew on here, thanks for providing a really nice place to play Rust and cultivating a great community of players.

I have one vending machine for my hotel, one vending machine for the cars I make and sell and nine other fully stocked vending machines with items I craft to sell, I also have a large base with quarrys and pump jacks. I liked the idea of removing vending machines that are empty, there are a lot of empty or near empty vending machine on Survival also. The point I was trying to make and apparently I didn't do well was that some players like myself use vending machines to generate scrap and build large bases as part of their gaming and limiting vending machines as per your suggestion or making them more expensive to buy would limit my ability and others like me that sell items for scrap. I don't have issues opening my map so was not aware the vending machines caused this, maybe NaCL suggestion that empty vending machines should not broadcast is a great solution, could this be automated where they turn off broadcasting when empty? That along with consolidating near empty machines would be great solutions.

I feel your pain with the lagging as my computer isn't the best but I have a large base/compound, 2 pump jacks and two quarries maxed that I circled with walls and I have 11 vending machines around my compound, that is how I make my scrap, my machines are full except for the machines that are specific to one item such as I sell cars and its has three keys in it. I have a hotel, each room has a key you buy. The other nine vending machines are items I craft and sell and they stay full. I don't build on top of other players so its not a lag issues around my base as far as I know. I don't take heli's or do cargo are any other money making activity, I build and farm scrap and sell, while I understand the need to limit vending machines that are not used and limit base size, maybe no large bases above a certain size around monuments, things like this might help the lag but doing away with vending all together or make them a item you purchase and limited base sizes severely will would seriously limit how I play and other's like me.
