Quote from: mjoll9 on Apr 14, 2021, 11:20 AMI'm pretty sure a decent chunk of remaining players, especially older ones, only stick around for the content plugins like pyrofishing/mining/slimefun. If those were to go I think you'll see a dip in players.
Then clearly we won't do that, but... Tell us what you think would help. Our playerbase kinda dipped a lot now and we need to be appealing to newer players too, so maybe give feedback from that perspective too?
I think minigames seems to be the big thing nowadays, bedwars etc. When the minigames world opens I think advertising the hell out of that might bring new players, especially if it's not just your average minigames that are everywhere or atleast a little different (maybe something that people can do on their own?). Survival unfortunately ain't it anymore, but advertising our other servers and bringing a playerbase to those could help increase survival's as well.
100% agree with this! Survival isn't popular anymore, gotta go through different avenues to expand which in turn will help survival as well.

Quote from: Ranger_113 on Apr 15, 2021, 01:59 AMSomething I think we should do with the next update/reset is increase price on the overall economy. Increasing values for all ores, wood, and such. I mean think about it, diamond are like 1,200 emp at the EMP (I think) and the first arriving guest gets iron tools, and 5,000 emp. They can already buy 3-4 diamonds plus they already have the tools. There isn't much "surviving" as if your getting the whole point of the game handed to you within the first time you join in. If we increase the economy, the whole economic system will (in my opinion) function much better.
This is a really good point, changing the economy will be really difficult however maybe nerfing the start kit is a good start? Maybe just include food a couple torches and a wooden axe or something?
Agree with this too, survival has never really felt like actual survival to me personally because (especially compared to my experience with factions over the years) everything feels extremely easy/no effort to obtain, largely in part to the economy being broken, most people having fly so there's almost no risk of death, as well as now a days mending existing so you can make one set of tools and you never have make another again (although obviously as a core feature that's not something we can really control, of course).  It just feels to me like the only thing that's any effort to grind for/obtain at all is the pyrofishing upgrades.  But personally I find that really tedious and you can only stand in one spot and fish for so long before it gets boring.

Make mcmmo actually usable.  The attempt to slow its progression so that it's not too fast made it slow to the point it's not worth grinding.

Even the 20x boost on weekends is still slow to the point that it really doesn't feel that worth it, so imagine how horrible it is without that boost.

If they've still got a playerbase yeah that's possible, TF2 is free and everyone has L4D.

Not looking to do a mc server atm (especially modded), but I can forward the idea to @blalp @xQuicScopex and @ceddy24

Quote from: MasterX70 on Mar 11, 2021, 11:57 PMIf we ever do a TTT server again though, I'd be down to help with addons/maps :heart:
Sorry didn't see this earlier.  I'd probably be down if it still has an audience the only problem is I really don't know lua so developing things for it could be a pain.

Quote from: Palker on Mar 11, 2021, 09:24 PMI'd personally play on a CSGO or Prison server if we had one. Prisons is actually quite fun and I honestly think it would be a good addition. (I know we weren't supposed to add any more MC servers, but it seemed like a lot of other players also enjoy prisons including myself.) :)
For a CS server what exactly did you have in mind?  And prison will most likely return at some point this year, it just takes time to update/change everything. :)

Quote from: TristenC7 on Mar 12, 2021, 04:17 AMHow about a Rust server? Rust js a large game, allows hosted servers, the servers are extremely customizable, and theres tons of things to do.
I have never played the game but I'm willing to consider if someone would be able to help :)

Quote from: badbrad01 on Mar 11, 2021, 11:22 PMRight my POV from helping set up sft steam games,  every time we do a not a minecraft server it quickly dies because all the good games that are popular people can't run because they are high specs that's why TTT did well because it doesn't require tons of graphics so unless you can find a game with low specs so people can run it it won't be popular , my game suggestion is deadside it's really fun open world zombies survival can build bases ect and have servers to host for cheap and isn't that much of a high spec game
Will look into that!  Also high spec is not an issue so long as we keep in mind we'd need to advertise to a new audience rather than just SFT's current player base (which is something I think we should do anyways tbh)

We have done before advertised to other people apart from sft and it worked brilliantly on TTT and also arma 2 dayz but then it died as people started moaning they can't run it or died and can't get there stuff back as helping with both of theses projects it would need a different approach on a game where you don't loose your stuff to stop the drama but most good games that have servers ain't like that so need a more mature audience if you want go down the dayz - online survival games
The pattern there is that those servers happened years ago, it's been a long time since we've made a decent attempt at a non-mc server.

Quote from: Minecraftmeme11 on Mar 11, 2021, 04:20 PMSomething that shot to the top of my mind: CSGO, also known as Counter Strike, Global Offensive.
Quite well known game where you can host your own servers.
What kind of server do you mean and are cs servers popular still?

Quote from: SavageCoopDoge on Mar 11, 2021, 06:42 PMMaybe Terraria would be fun

I remember that sft did have a terraria server yet it didn't go smoothly from what I recall. Vanilla terraria probs wouldn't last long sadly
@RallyReaper  and I had an almost completed Terraria server and I can't quite remember what happened with that, might still have it somewhere.  Also it's kind of an unfair statement to make how non-Minecraft server launches have gone, because historically we've had a pattern of for whatever reason (besides TTT) just releasing non-Minecraft servers, barely mentioning them or advertising and abandoning them after a week or two, so they really haven't been given much of a chance.  Minecraft's popularity isn't what it used to be these days so I think it's far more important now to put more effort into expanding to other games and giving them a decent chance. :)

Hi everyone, just wanted to make a post asking you all what kind of servers you might be interested in us hosting! I'm making this post in an effort to try to expand the community beyond just Minecraft. Feel free to drop any ideas or suggestions in the replies here! :)

Requirements:
  • As we're currently over saturated as is and the whole point here is to try new things, preferably NO MINECRAFT SERVERS
  • Because of how servers work the game would have to allow hosted servers (not dedicated)
  • It's preferred that the game is relatively popular and possible to grow with, if there's no interest in the game or room for growth it's simply not worth our time and energy
  • Interesting games - Suggest things that you yourself might be interested in playing if we hosted a server!

Thanks and hopefully we can come up with some good ideas from this! :)

Quote from: Mazeworker on Feb 26, 2021, 10:10 PMSpecial Note on "Extra Information" make sure you only have one key in your inventory as it will consume all keys in a stack/pile per use.
Oh, didn't know this, I'll add that! Thank you!

Heya, so apparently there's no clear complete guide for Steve Co. so I figured I'd make a guide on how it all works for new players.

Steve Co. is a custom plugin which allows you to spend keys to unlock a surprise mystery item from a themed crate!

The Basics
In order to start, you need to have a "Steve Co. Key" and any numbered "Steve Co. Crate".

Steve Co. Keys look like this:


Steve Co Crates look like this:


How to Obtain Keys/Crates
As shown in the image above it says that "You can get a Steve Co. Key at the Steve Co. Store"; however, to avoid confusion there is NOT an actual physical Steve Co. Store.

Steve Co. Keys and Crates can most easily be obtained through voting (you can vote here) or simply buying them from other players (some stores on /autoshop or /ah sell them too).  Additionally, a random Steve Co. Crate is dropped to a random online player about every hour, so they can be obtained by simply just being online!

Both Keys and Crates are also able to be purchased from our Premium Shop -> https://www.superfuntime.org/shops

How to Open a Crate
You can open a Steve Co. Crate by simply crafting a Steve Co. Crate and Key together in your inventory or in a crafting table.

What it looks like:


Steve Co. Crate Rewards
Each Steve Co. Crate series contains a different possible set of rewards that you can win.  It will state which series a crate is in the item description in your inventory.

You can view all possible rewards here -> https://www.superfuntime.org/forum/index.php/topic,78832.0.html

Extra Information
This is a little known feature of Steve Co, but if you hold a Steve Co. Key in your inventory while holding a tool/piece of armor that you won from a Steve Co. Crate, you can actually do "/steveco repair" and it'll consume your key and in exchange repair the item you're holding to full durability!

Warning: Only have ONE Steve Co. Key in your inventory while doing this as it will consume all keys in the stack!!!

Hope this guide helps! :)

@Kakota FYI, 1.8.9 would be the best version to play on (not 1.8.8), although ik the server is 1.8.8 cause for some reason the only 1.8 version of paper was that.
