Hello SFT Players,

I would talk about the topic of "what is illegal for players to build on the server". This has been discussed by the staff team, and is now final.  Some of these may be common knowledge, others items are new, but we wanted to make sure the rules were black and white; we do not want any gray areas for people to be unclear.

Piston limits:
Guest: Piston placement for slimefun ONLY.
Members: 40
Veterans: 60

Just wondering for the water build do we have to do it by hand or can we do it by dispencers =)

I am curious as to why the dark room, non-kill spawners are illegal as they are a good source of exp for players who do not want to use a player owned spwan room where people sit and hoard the exp and loot?

The server has limits on how many mobs of any type can be around at one time. So if everyone started making things like that "real" spawners could stop working as well or there'd be fewer wild mobs.

So just for some clarification: we're allowed to make massive, fully manual farms, right?

hmm I think a mob crusher with a spawner then they spawn and pushes down with a stickey piston and there crushes that's illegal or lag?

Automatic mob crushers are illegal yes, because you are killing the mobs without any player interaction and so you are getting free items for nothing and there is the is the slight bit of lag caused by the redstone as well.  :)

this rule kinda made me a bit mad just becuase i didnt relize that it was not allowed to make auto farms so i started making a 32x32x32 auto farm...

Please change this rule it really limits what useful things you can make.
if you guys keep this rule in place put it in the rule book so that newer players know what they can and cant do.

I can add some signs to spawn to help with this, but I know players don't like reading paragraphs of text on signs.

this rule ill admit is not as known as it should be but you can still build your farm i actually have a farm thats 100 by 100 in the sky over my house that i was gonna make auto until i saw this rule but it wasnt too hard to alter the design besides with sftmmo farmer you get more out of breaking it by hand once you hit lvl 50

lionblaze10

Just for clarification, these rule are all still updated, yes? I am thinking of building a new auto farm, but I need to make sure the rules are still updated. Second, can I use dispensers to place the water or does it need to be done by hand?

We haven't had reason to change them yet :)  :zombie:

If the water is for: A Player uses dumped water to flow down to break crops., then not allowed.
If you need normal water placed in order for the crops to grow, you can ask a mod if everything fails, they can expand a water block :)

I need clarification for something: are automatic cactus farms legal? they use 0 redstone themselves except for a dropper system to transport all the cactus. they look a little something like this

Considering how it works, you can be AFK while it harvest blocks to you, making it an AFK auto farm: Illegal  :zombie:

That would definitely count as an illegal build.
It requires no work and can constantly reproduce the chicken meat.

As long as nothing is "automatic" and it requires you to be online and working with it, then it's fine
