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.

Okay @Darkshira , so it sounds like you have a unique play style where you use vending machines to sell hotel rooms.  

To make money, you sell hotel rooms, instead of doing monuments or farming.  Ok, so that makes sense.

However, I doubt there's more than 1 or 2 people like you on each server.  I doubt there's more than 1 or 2 hotels per server.  What if we could make a work around to allowing hotels, whereas random vending machines don't spam up world map?

 

My goal is to find a solution that we could present to @Death in a way such that we have a well thought out solution, to reduce lag, without reducing anybodys play style.  You have a playstyle of being a hotel owner.  How can we prevent you from being impacted, while 90% of other plays also aren't impacted by map lag from random BS vending macines? 

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.
