Thank you admins. You have all clarified that I had the right to claim the area of land I did. I did not block the river way, and I claimed the amount of land I felt I needed. There are three other rivers right near me if another player would like to build near one, and there are 8 rivers total on this map. I understand the rule, "No claiming large areas of land" is very vague and open to interpretation, but over the years, I've heard this rule being discussed with multiple admins because it causes so much confusion. I think the line "you do not intend to use" should be added to this rule. I will carry on building on the land I originally claimed, and hope you all have excellent wipes. Thanks!

I was informed by three different admins on a different RustEZ server that I was in the right and had perfect rights to claim the land I did on AU Survival. Incidentally, I claimed the exact same area on their server, and three admins said it was absolutely no problem. I will be returning to AU Survival to reclaim my original area, and anyone has taken over my property, I will respectfully ask that they be evicted. Thanks to the admins I dealt with. Very knowledgeable and sensible. Chinaski

Note: I did remove all the TCs I was instructed to, but would very much like that land back.

I am very aware of the rule that a player cannot claim land they do not intend to use. When I built my starter base, I figured I need room for that, my heli tower, heli landing pad, 2 quarries, 1 pumpjack and a shop. I didn't take up any more area than I felt I needed. An admin that I like very much approached me and told me I need to remove most of my TCs in case other players wanted to build near a river. I explained that I intended to use all the area I claimed, but was still instructed to remove TCs. I did not want to argue with a rule I felt I was correct about, so I logged off and decided to ask here what my rights are for claiming land I intend to use. Thank you, Chinaski

This is the error message I get

Thank you very much, Cartmon. Up and running again!

Update #97

UPDATE: I tried Death's technique to connect to AU servers, but tit didn't work. Here is a screencap.

Update: I see Death posted how to connect. I will try this. Thanks.

I play several servers, and back in the days of the old fishing poles, I used to always live on the ocean near the Giant Excavator, so I could mine scientists for fishing poles. Sniff sniff. Miss those days. Anyways, I was never really annoyed with the loud rumbling of the GE, because it was sporadic, and 99% of the time, it wasn't running. Today, because of instancing, the GE now runs 24/7. I noticed that normally, players don't build withing the GE's "loud zone". I can hear a car door slam a block away, so I am sensitive to low sounds. I could never build a base near it today, yet I still always live in the desert. I was wondering if there's a way to mute the noise it makes. I know you can't lower the volume. I've asked about quieting the fireplaces before. Not possible. In my opinion, as a long-time player on your servers, Instancing the Giant Excavator isn't really necessary on the less populated servers. The limited amount of diesel on a server really limits the time the Excavator can run. May be a different story on a more crowded server, but that's what I've seen. I highly doubt the volume will be muted or lowered or Instancing shut off, but RustEZ allows us to toss ideas at the devs and Death, and this is one idea that is constantly swirling in my head. Thanks for listening. - China

Thank you Mario. I was having a brain fart. I see you get 10 quarries back when you remove it. Your advice cleared everything up for me.

Should I attempt to lay my low-level 10 quarry on a new hole? Can that change the levels? Any advice would be appreciated. I won't run it at 1/2 the rate of the other one, so it's worthless, as is.

Thank you for always being so helpful, Elixil3

Per Elixile, Posted April 2 Staff Process rate was slowed down a few wipes ago so that's why your seeing less, its still 1:1 but now takes longer to process it." I think the PJ give out 4,300 crude per day instead of 8,600. LINK:

One player on AU Survival complained that he had just blown 3,000 scrap on leaning BPs including the AK, and all of them reverted.

This was on AU Survival.,

Working, thanks. Thought you might want to know the quarry storage is only 6 spots.
