GOkay, after some thought and reading through I have a few questions, a suggestion or two, and a bit of concerns regarding this post and specifically why/what caused this change to happen. Before I begin, this is my opinion, and I by no means have any hate or disrespect for this decision. My reason for posting is to gain clarity and possibly help if I can. I also am/have only played Scourge, so my post really is regarding to that server primarily but I’m sure can be applied to others within reason. Firstly, what is the reason for the removal of personal? I first thought it would have been for saving on server resources, but if we are going to talk about that there are MANY other ways to optimize server performance that doesn’t have to do with pump jacks and Id be happy to talk about those if need be. — Secondly, with the current state of Scourge, from my knowledge, LGF production has been done by usually one or two maybe more people that have a ton of pump jacks, and sell their stuff for whatever for the server to buy. How would limiting the server to 3 pump jacks do justice to those who spend money for more than 3 lvl 20 pj’s? In my opinion it doesn’t make sense, again unless it’s for reasons other than server performance / saving playable space, for the change to occur. Essentially this takes the original (money/afk time permitting) non restricted limit of lgf production, to at max of 3 (granted the map generation permits). Thirdly, would the map generation be altered to what it is now? Therefore it allows the max of 3 to be a guaranteed option? As if this becomes the case it changes gameplay completely and isn’t the best in my opinion to keep players returning. A suggestion and question that revolve around each other that could possibly solve said concerns is, Could the max level for pj’s and quarries be adjusted to a higher level? In my opinion, the option to have a level 1000 pump jack would be ridiculous but it gives the player the same amount of freedom the server currently offers. The idea of changing the max level to an significantly higher number would make the server economically change little, compared to if we were locked to 3 lvl 20 pjs per wipe, map generation permitting. Theres also the idea of making the higher the level, provide finishing returns so it doesn’t end up being 1 public quarry/pump jack gets used and the others don’t. Spreading out the instance, presumably making server performance better for those building around those monuments. I understand if there’s uncertainty and grey area currently with what exactly will happen, as nuance can be hard to work with, but any information would be appreciated. I have some experience with performance optimization, especially with other games that are more factory based, where tps becomes an issue. If more elaboration or suggestions are wanted I’m more than happy to help!
