Glass' Blockland Servers [CLOSED TEMPORARILY - Check Page 57]

And to be honest, myself and my administration are not too enthusiastic about the Builder Mode thing anyway, so there is a chance it will not be added.

I'd say builder mode should be enabled so long as you don't fire something that has any weapon damage, with exception to the hammer.  Even then, though, you could be building traps around people and they couldn't kill you, so I'd actually say no.

Builder mode sounds like a terrible idea TBH. Giving the player a safety bubble might make the server a snooze at times of day and in turn restrict the server from picking up speed before player peak period.

[Clear Glass]

The builder mode currently works like this; when you enter builder mode you respawn, you now have your simple tool load-out, can't pick up weapons, can't enter vehicles, can't take damage, and can't deal damage to others. It's also possible I will be adding a time limit to how long you are aloud to be in builder mode everyday.

If ts allows, maybe restrict collision with other players to give a sort of a ghost feel.

you're still using my logos :')

imo people who are building should just learn to deal with the fact that people might try to attack them, during the three day period i was making my base i was constantly attacked, but that didn't stop me. if people are going to stuff themselves over being killed for building they obviously don't want a base that bad.

So I am going to talk to Thorfin about adding a few things if I am going to go through with it, 1 being a 30 Minute Limit A Day, and 2 being Builder Mode Revoke, which would allow me/admins to revoke someones builder rights if they use it to place traps or abuse it.

Up.

Has anyone been having connection issues to the server? I keep seeing a lot of weird connection stuff in console.

[Ipquarx]

127.0.0.1 is localhost, AKA your own computer.
192.168.x.x are other devices on your same network.

[Clear Glass]

How come it is doing that though? It does that and no one joins, so I am assuming those are people incapable of joining.

I think that builder mode would be great, so long as it is disabled serverwide at night time. This would force the players to be at least somewhat combat or defence centered in their gameplay, rather than just cowering in their bubble. Ideally builder mode will inspire players to build bigger, better, epic bases rather than stuffting out a few walls and a couple baseplates.

[Clear Glass]

Also forgot to mention, Builder Mode is done and active.

Right now all you need to do to enable/disable it is /Builder, to see how much time you have left you can do /BuilderTime.

Another note is that VCE is on the server now, we removed anything that could be abused.

i think buildermode is a pretty stuffty idea
when me and nav were making our third base, we were attacked from all sides, over and over, and it took some serious cooperation [and hiring a guy with a russian helicopter] to actually get anything done, and it was fun as hell

it also justified us going on a havoc rampage later so yeah
