How can a player remove my TC? I figured they lied to an admin to get it removed. I thought that would be the only way. If the player somehow removed it, that's an even more egregious event. I just assumed an admin removed it for them. This player knows I was there first because they griefed me. If they told an admin anything else, that's lying to an admin.

Please make sure the EU Survival team is aware this player griefed me twice, lied to an admin about who was there first in order to remove my base. This killed me, erased my base, and deleted all my belongings. This player also shot at me. If these are all against the RustEZ rules, I expect a harsh punishment, especially for lying to admins. Thank you, Lord Yeoldmort.

Last night, I had to call admins on EU Survival, because my neighbor griefed my main base by placing a TC so I couldn't build. Three admins came, investigated, checked everything, clearly saw the player was griefing me and removed the TC. Later on I saw the same player griefed my base with spikes, and again, I had to report this to an admin. I never even asked the payer's name and told the admins I didn''t care. I was going to be a good neighbor. I replaced my TC after they left because my base was no longer building blocked. As I was the first player on EU Survival after wipe. ALL my TCs were placed before this player's TCs except the one he forced me to move by griefing me. I signed in to EU Survival just now, and saw I died and my base was gone, and my griefing neighbor took over my area. As I was looking around, the player began shooting at me from his base. Really a nice person, I'll tell you. Finally they came down and tried giving me something and I told them to speak to me in chat so it can be recorded. They refused. I told them to remove their TCs near my area, and pointed which ones to remove. I told them the admins already had two griefing reports on them and I didn't want to have to report them. They remained silent and refused to talk to me. The last thing I want to do is cause trouble on these servers, but this player and his multiple attempts to grief me out of the area I claimed just minutes after wipe (I teleported to HQ quarry) is beyond the rules of RustEZ. I never reported them after their griefing last night and I regretfully report them now. Again, If this is resolved per RustEZ rules, I am happy to live next to this player and will be perfectly amiable to all my neighbours. I would, however, ask that this player be banned for 8 days so that his base and multiple TCs are allowed to disappear. They can rebuiild after that. Thank you, Chnaski

One more thing I wanted to mention is like I already stated, I claimed this same area of land on a different server. After doing so, I saw a player building on shore near me. I approached them to say hi, but they kind of backed off me. In chat, I wrote, "I'll pull my two TCs near your base", and proceeded to do so, opening up a huge area for them to expand on. You can check the chat logs. Should be the first thing typed in chat this wipe (EU Survival) That last thing I said to them in chat was "neighbor", showing them I was friendly and just trying to let them know, I had no problem with them building there.

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.,
