I tried to run a Hotel this wipe but found that unless I give the player TC and they replace the bed, it won't work for them as a /home tp node. Do mods have a way to detect the player claiming a bed that has been set to public, and could we have that interface the /home list? If that was able to work, hotels could be hands-free and they could be set up around popular monuments like outpost, bandit, and LS, instead of being ringed by TC zones with 1x1 & bags on them. Would need to be able to discern it from another player assigning it to you, or someone could spuriously fill up your /home list. Hope it's possible!

The Existing/All/Loot All overlay in object inventories it great. Would it be possible for it to present differently on crop plot fertiliser inventories, and instead have the option to clone all the plants in the plot that are of cloneable age, and put them in my inventory? Would save me some RSI, basically a very nice QOL thing not having to use the rotary menu 9 times per plot. While you're at it, would be efficient if clones put in the fertiliser inventory would be instantly planted when the inventory gets closed and there are spaces available for them, but it isn't nearly as much of a chore to plant and makes good RP anyway. Wouldn't say the same about operating a rotary menu hundreds of times. I'd be suprized if there's isn't already a standalone mod that does something like this, but it might be preferable to modify something already stable.

That may be your idea of something good to do with a PVP style base going to waste on a PVE server, but it isn't what everyone wants to build, they come here to not need to think about PVP defense, numbers on these servers would decline if it was about to devolve to being like the other servers they choose not to play on, and you'd still be bored leading up to it. Something like this might be a good compromise if it could occur only in one small geographical area, so one could move there and get ready if they wanted to. Would likely want to come with a corresponding increase in map size to make up for the lost ground.

With the facepunch horse rebalance, it's fairly difficult to acquire fertiliser. Foods are compostable, but it seems to me that Zombies should be too. If they could give a little Spoiled Chicken when harvested, in addition to the cloth and bones they do now, it would both make a lot of sense and give people a reason to clean up their corpses and clear the entities faster. Can has?

Just learned that TK lost some incendiary rockets at the same time that I briefly saw them, perhaps either they were made available to a lot of people and someone took them, or they disappeared into the void when they got shown to me.

Have concluded the recycler is either mixing up people's loot, or garbling the indexes of items. I opened it now and in the INPUT contained 760 scrap, which promptly disappeared, then 5 incendiary rockets which quickly did the same. Then I correctly managed to recycle a guitar.

Probably relevant, my ping is always around 250 because the Pacific is big. The go button is sometimes red when it's off and green when it's on, probably desynch from opening and closing it before a message can make the round trip and the client is no longer listening.

There is no shortage of PVP servers of every flavour out there, and I don't want the management of another one to compromise this haven of good PVE.

Sign Artist is pretty great but the text generation function isn't working very well, and the /info page about it is incorrect. /info advises that you should enter /sil 'hello world' to write hello world on a sign, but that produces no result, the text generator is actually called with the command /silt instead. I've done some diagnostics using a small wooden sign. Entering /silt 'hello world' results in the sign displaying 'hello and /silt hello world produces hello whereas /silt hello produces nothing. /silt "hello world" also produces nothing. Conclusion: its parsing is well borked. Multiple words results in only the first word working unless it begins with ", while /info suggested it was ' style quotations that it would be paying attention to. I understand SA is a plugin developed by Whispers88 and as such the issue might not be within your power to fix, but it might also be your command parsing before the signText call, or maybe it just needs updating, there was one published 3 months ago.

Paywall an entire server? Some might, but I would not pay to play on a server that would have such a deterrent on population. Imo, PVE only works for more than a week when you've got enough interesting humans messing about in it, neato worldgen couldn't replace it. I wouldn't want the whales to leave the public server and play by themselves either. There could definitely be a place for custom maps as I've heard they've been used in the past and should again, but premium content outside of the public servers sounds to me like a thing that would backfire here.

There is a non-craftable object in the game called Simple Light which admins can spawn in, it works just like a normal ceiling light but attaches to a wall and has an inclined beam, I think I might have seen some used at the base in F21, perhaps they could be added to the black market if there was a reshuffle coming to that.

The whole wipe season sees newspawns though, can't go throwing them into the plate zombie deep end or they won't join the server, the starter biome would have to stay chill. Player shops established by then mean that they can easily get equipped to move up into the escalating tier snow/desert zones. I doubt there's a functionality available to make this happen, but it would be awesome.

Unpopular idea time, what if the respawn period wasn't exactly one hour every time? Would that even be possible? I'm pretty sure it's FP dictated based on one variable, but Death's pretty clever. Might for example still average out to every hour but vary between 30 and 90 minutes, then there's little point asking when it happened, and campers have to commit to their camping. It could lead to some more people getting ganked if they run through its spawn points and it appears at a time they couldn't have known, but the cost of that isn't much on Scourge anyway. Multiple campers would have it allocated between them by where it spawns, if it comes past someone first then they get the first shot and it's won.

I recently found out how the Sell All button works, seems to selling all of that the material in your inventory at the same rate, not just as many bundles as you have, and I think it makes the whole finite bundles thing irrelevant except for stating the conversion rate. As such if someone wants to sell 500 stones, they can hold 500 stones and click Sell All right now, and everyone only clicks it once per desired transaction. The conversion rate could be more eloquently displayed if they were all scaled to the same amount of currency, if it's not an objective to keep it obtuse. You might consider a confirmation pop-up before performing the Sell All transaction, since some might complain they wanted to sell only some of what they were holding like the other button did.

APERTUBER LABORATORIES on the mountain at F2 She's at it again making them rue the day they made GLaDOS into a Potato. Labs are done but closed to the public until tours start, ask me nice (ign Pikefish) and I might take you through. Going to build an attached Potato Restaurant nearby which should be worth checking out.
