Does this also mean that the W2 reset will come sooner to allow for a 1.17 world?

Quote from: Lou671998 on Sep 19, 2020, 03:19 PMIs there any way to track piston limits directly? without needing for staff to place them. It can get rather irritating to have to ask staff to place pistons if you're building anything that uses more than 10.

In terms of this we have a manual staff piston placement so we not only can track but also allows us to make sure autofarms arent being built.

Also we'll take a look at a potential redstone revamp, I cant promise anything however!

Thanks for all the suggestions so far!

I believe we used to have Elite+ or legend+ place their own pistons? Any idea why this was removed?

I still feel like we're too harsh on redstone, and it always comes back to lag. its definitely nice to finally have the LWC implementation with minecarts now, makes smelters and sorters much more streamlined.

Pistons/slimeblocks are a huge part of redstone, and its a shame that they're flat out banned in any sort of crop farm. MCMMO + fortune makes these farms almost obsolete anyway, so it would be nice if we found a way to actually let people use pistons in semi-automatic farms.

With auto sorters and hopper counts, we have a cap of 100 hoppers for sorters. with the most efficient sorter design possible and no leeway for inputs and outputs, that's 50 items, which makes sorters only viable for bulk storage, and nothing more. We can significantly reduce the lag of hoppers just by placing a block on top of them (stops the check of input from above) so It would be nice to see this reviewed.

Building on from the last one, the region count of 200 basically forbids having more than a single large machine in a region. If you own a large smelter and sorter, you don't have enough hoppers for both in the same region.


Finally, as Mike said, It would be nice to be able to get drops of the rarer mobs more easily (especially since slime farms are banned). perhaps we could have a built in drop rate increase? The emp price seems pretty hefty on these items as well so I can't see why anyone would ever buy them directly from emp, especially if you need large numbers of them (slime blocks are 500 emp each).

That's all I can think of really. I'm not staff so I can't exactly suggest in depth ways of changing these things. Just a few thoughts :)

I'm curious as to why pistons are illegal in semi auto farms, I'm certain this didn't used to be the case. Players already have individual piston limits, reducing the potential size of farms and lag created by pistons. perhaps a better solution to lag would be to limit the number of pistons firing within a number of ticks? you could quite easily reduce the lag of medium sized piston farms just by firing each level at a different time. If its the production of items we're worried about, fortune and MCMMO make manual farms more efficient anyway. Was just wondering if we could get this reviewed?

Considering how many people seem like they play games without buyable servers, maybe it would help to just have more chat rooms in discord for those games?

Idk just a suggestion, also a bump since this seems like a useful thread

This thread seems mostly dead nowadays, soooo let's bump it!

Hey all!

I'm actually late by a few weeks on this (typical I know) but on the 8th of this Month I hit my 9th year on SFT. I don't really play too much anymore for a number of reasons, Mostly from Minecraft burnout and University life.
I'm not one for soppy posts but I just wanted you guys all to know that I've made some memories on here I will never forget, and that I had a group of friends when I needed them the most.


So I guess truly, Thank you all. And here's to staying in touch. What a bunch of legends.  :heart:

Fairly strange, can't say it's happened to me before, or not that I know of (I really hope i know of). Hope you're alright, i'm not one for soft spots but that's pretty fucking weird.

Quote from: Darren64_NY on Jan 31, 2017, 01:24 PMIs the tax taken away from us even used for anything? I mentioned this before where tax money should go to eventhosts as prizes they give out.
If the point is to drain money out of the economy, then it doesn't go anywhere. Giving it to the event hosts would just defeat the purpose, as the money outflows through the tax methods would just be inflowed back into the economy.

I think his point was that the tax could be used for events INSTEAD of spawned money. That actually sounds like a pretty good idea. There's less spawned money going into the economy. Yes there's less coming out, but we could fix that with some of the other suggestions in this thread.

With regards to the variable tax rate, wouldn't smart rich players just stockpile wealthy items, continue being rich and evade the majority of the tax anyway? Since they have large numbers of assets but low physical monetary value.
11
I think a good way to fix the inflation problem would be to address new ways of taking money out of the economy. Currently lots of money is brought in by EMP sales. Money could be taken out if the EMP prices were more reasonable, but I've thought of a few other solutions too.

-We could raise the tax on transactions and auto shop transactions.
-We could add small tax to more actions, such as a warp tax of maybe 100 emp per warp? but the warp would still work if you had no money, just a method of removing emp from people who have lots.

I can't really think of anything else, but I hope this is a start.

Main problem with the economy is EMP prices. No one wants to buy from emp (taking money out of the conomy) because the prices are soo high. Meanwhile everyone sells there (bringing money in) to sell their items. If a reset is done, which I'm fine with, EMP prices really need to be looked into. Otherwise we get the same problem occuring again in around 2 years time.

Is there any space left on the list? would love to put my auto on there if possible...
15
Always wanted one, always will. you'll be seeing an island emblazoned with my name soon.

People will want to bottle levels now to drink when the update comes out. This is hardly a problem, since you won't be able to bottle more than 100 levels boost into prestige 1 in 3 days, it's just impractical.

Thanks Towels! Now I can set warps to shops etc in NewRome!

It may not seem it Fear, but this work does pay off. If it didn't the majority of us wouldn't be sitting here typing these things out right now.

Thanks a lot, and the Congratulations you receive, you have Earned.
Thanks for making SFT an actual, working community!

I Swear all I do is get bullied XD. I saved up 17 mill for this ;) expect a lot of Emp going in hehe.

The one guy that always finds a way to abuse my autoshops. luv you xenii ;) XD
21
after 3 years of getting to where I am (3 years since last full reset) I am not prepared to just lose it all. i'm in the middle of too many projects. Sorry to say, I'd be a quitter on a full reset.
22
I personally have put in Many, Many hours recently to get my theorised projects done. any reset apart from maybe a W2 reset, and I would not be a happy bunny. But it's awesome to see stuff is going smoothly now :)

I just finished making one of the furnaces, but I have no idea if placing it will work. last time i made a single block thing (solar panel) it deleted itself and turned into a regular daylight sensor. Please get back to me on this, as to how to use the furnaces!

Floor 142: this floor is littered with loud noises and a set of boxes. You open one of these boxes to find some hobbits hidden inside, with the tag "Isengard". You go past these boxes, to find a battle between the Ori, human kind, and the Goa'uld.
