If this is the "clonk" your talking about, it looks like a game made for 6 year olds. If not, post link.

Clonk Planet is an old version of the game, but the concept is the same.
And saying that the game is for six year olds is the same as saying BL, Terraria or Minecraft is made for six-year olds..

The graphics may be a little "cuddly", but thats just the way it is. I'm pretty sure most kids wouldn't have the slightest idea of how to gather resources and advance in the game.

I just realized that my upload to Melbourne (~10.000 mi) is still higher than most peoples regular upload.

The only way you can fix ping on a server side is if:

-Your processor actually sucks and cannot handle the amount of connection being used. Get a better one.
-You decided to host from the loving moon and you should come back to Earth.

Does Europe count as a moon?
But it might actually be my processor (Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 @ 1.66GHz). I'm pretty sure it's outdated...

Can you build a snake shaped tower in Clonk?

Yes.
Well, you could either:
- build a snake shaped tower by using concrete/steelbars/dirt etc. by hand
- create an "addon" for the game, containing a snake-shaped tower. Creating stuff for Clonk is actually VERY easy. Even the coding is quite easy to learn, so you can create literally anything.
- Use some of the predefined castle parts to make a tower.

The game is more focused on gathering resources by mining, woodcutting, pumping oil etc. The challenge is to prevent the mines from collapsing, not blowing up your entire base with flintstones while mining, making tunnels that actually lead to the surface again.
Another big part of the game is fighting other players. You have to fight for resources and defend your castle/base.
 It's pretty fun, all in all.

Give them props for Monty Python references.

If they asked for admin, I would actually consider giving it to them :P

So anyone tell me: What's the difference between this and Clonk, which has been out forever?

From the looks of it, Clonk is better. You can build tons of houses, vehicles, weapons etc.

Good to see someone have higher upload then download. I thought I was the only one.

General Discussion / Re: Why do people make "RP" servers?

« on: June 07, 2011, 06:50:56 AM »

Not all RP's suck. I prefer the ones that usually just "happen". Like on some of my builds, they tend to attract some kind of role-playing, which I don't mind -as long as it's not some stupid major attention whoring- as they give some sort of a depth and use for my builds.

Everytime I host something, people automatically start RP'ing in it. Especially my medieval server attracted RP'ers. As long as they don't bother me, that's fine. But when they start asking stuff like: "Hey King Leo, can I be your son?", the fun's over...

Bandwidth is not to be confused with ping.

Yeah. I think I meant general playability, which depends on ping as well.

As far as bandwidth goes, you need 32kbps of upload per player to make sure you don't bottom out.  So for a hundred players you need at least 3.2Mbps of upload.  Also this needs to be real, sustainable bandwidth.   

Also, being on the same continent as the other players does help.. (looks at american players)

The interior looks quite big for such a small house.
I'll give it a 7.5/10
