lol new map would still be down you do realize as I'd have to re put all buildings again right?
and it is also memory issues out the ass as it's using 1.6gb ram for 2 people , compared to 32 people for 1 gb ram on tf2 as ragns has let me know.

maps back up somehow seems 5 is max atm? people connect

**ChooChooTrain** · 2011-11-20 02:45

I realize, and I'm okay with that. Ahaha.

Going by the MC forums, it looks like people are using 8gb to run a server for well over 20 people.

So. I'm planning on resurrecting crossroads station, connecting it back to spawn area so people can easily access it and its myriad facilities and farms, but the railway is going to come in sight distance of a few structures as it runs from (X: -50, Z: -1400) to (X: -50ish, Z: -30ish). In fact, there's a tiny structure right in the path of it, which would be an issue. I could curve the railway around such things, but that would add travel time to it and require more rail, so I'd rather avoid as many turns as possible lest any passengers toss their cookies from spinning around. I can also build it underground, but doing so will add lots more construction time as well, so I'd rather avoid doing that as much as possible as well.

But of course, I'd rather not the people building near where it would be get upset over intrusion in their territory, so would the people in the path of it speak up on what you would prefer? I plan on making a proper bridge, not just a floating railway, so there's that. There's a round floating building with trees in it and covered in vines in sight of it, a large wooden plank building on a hill pretty close to where it will cross, and a tiny stone building near spawn that's practically right where it will cross (so i'd have to build around/make a tunnel under it). Would the makers of these building speak up so I can know what you guys want? D:

If your thinking this will be some crappy useless place, crossroads station will have a high efficiency mob/animal/cacti/stone/sugar cane/wheat/exp/mushroom/snow/tree/netherwart/melon/pumpkin/flower farm, as well as a sand/gravel cloner, adjustable enchanting table (so you can pick what levels enchanting you want), brewing stand, probably more food than you'll ever eat, and even guest rooms in the manor you can pick from to decorate as a home away from home. The old crossroads station is imported and near the new location, and it still has a working mob/grain/cobble/mushroom/tree/reed farm already, but due to all the adjustments the game has gone through, and a need for more room, I'll be slowly tearing down the old station as I build a new and better one. :D People are welcome to use the old facilities in the meantime, though!

And if anyone has other ideas for farms or useful features for people to use, let me know! I'll try to find a way to automate it and add it to the collection!

In other words it cost me around 10$ per player per month.

**Ragns** · 2011-11-20 08:50

Starting now I disabled requiring a valid minecraft account to log in because it seems that's what caused most of these connections issues.

The problem with this is that any shady/hacked account and even banned ones can log in the server and shit everything they want.

**Timwakefield** · 2011-11-20 10:55

No clue where my old base is haha. Do you remember the Coords Chrian?

**Souj** · 2011-11-20 16:00

So just wondering what the problems and solutions to the server problems are? Like when everything becomes so laggy and unplayable when more than a few log on.
is it because of 1.0, or because of all the stuff getting ported in, or something all together different?

**Chrian** · 2011-11-20 16:02

looks like I forgot to import your base in tim , I can send you the schematic though if you wish to recreate it.I musta been tired or something.

**Therin** · 2011-11-20 18:57

I remember seeing a screenshot of a Boletaria reproduction, was that on the BG server or elsewhere? (I feel like I remember it being here, but I might be wrong.) I tried to find it on the overhead map posted in the OP but didn't see it. Then again, that map is huge.

It's there somewhere. -z 3300 something or other. Trying to make the surrounding area all lit up with candles, but terrible lag has been stopping that. So instead I've been playing Dark Souls!

**Therin** · 2011-11-20 19:06

Ah, I thought so. I think I already complemented you on that but I just wanted to commend you on it again. You should do something from Dark Souls as well. :D

**Souj** · 2011-11-20 19:08

I'm not even finished with Boletarian Castle. about halfway done with section 1-2.

I have been tempted to make the entire Dark Souls game since it is all one giant area, but I think I would need to be on creative mode with a handful of people helping to not go insane lol

**Therin** · 2011-11-20 19:20

Hah, that'd be epic. I'd love to do something like that but the extent of my Minecraft skill is in simple structures.

**Souj** · 2011-11-20 22:03

Game is nigh impossible to play on the server.
Chrian might have done all that work for nothing if people can't actually play :/

**Jinn** · 2011-11-20 22:20

I've noticed the server goes to hell when a 4th person logs on, when a 5th logs then regenerating block syndrome takes place

Could make sense since I see the server taking 400MB of ram for each user logged in and it only has a total of 2GB of RAM.

**Kaisha** · 2011-11-20 23:03

That much per player now? Jesus fuck, Notch's programming never ceases to amaze astonish befuddle depress me.

**Jinn** · 2011-11-21 02:36

I've taken the job of creating a schedule for all us minecrafters to rotate hourly/daily so we can maintain 4 users at a time and still have everyone play.

Please post your name so I can add you to it.
