When will the server be back up?

Soon. It crashed for unknown reasons, and although dren has the autosave he hasn't finished the new autosaver loader. it should be done sometime very soon.

I'll be on tonight to help assist if needed.

The reason the server's been down is cause it crashed as I was heading off to uni. I'll be back in half an hour or so tho, and it won't tqke long for me to write the loader.

Trip is not happy.


New ideas planned for this weekend:
  • Add grapes, probably tonight, I have the models and will script them. Basically, they'd work kind of like blueberries, but their harvest would be dependent on the time of year like watermelons. They will not die, except maybe for extreme dehydration, but take an extra year to get to full maturity and afterwards guarantee a good harvest every year thereafter.
  • Make lots cost a lot less, but increase in cost as you buy more
  • Add a ton more lots to current server
  • Possibly increase lot size for next server rest / test server
  • Add a sunlight mechanic, so that bricks would have their growth severely handicapped if they have no access to the sky. Windows would not be counted against them though.
  • Add trees. I'd need to get someone (Conan?) to model them for me. That said, you'd plant them, they'd take a whole real life day to grow, but they don't require water and afterwards they'd never die and give you a harvest every year like grapes.
  • Make building higher (or perhaps just building crop bricks higher) come with a cost penalty.
  • Prestige benefits. Cosmetic benefits (chat tags, yellow shapename, golden tools) for the first prestige. Jets for the third. Some kind of money crop/tree for the fifth.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Good that you added sunlight detection

It's gonna severely forget up Nothing's building sense he has a whole skyscraper devoted to planting, but let's be real here, wtf.

Same goes for Boba Fett, rip all your dirt. It was good I thought ahead and made my greenhouse with glass ceiling.

That sunlight idea is horrid

As much as I want to add it in I realize it'd forget stuff up. It'll probably stay on the testing server for a while. Adding a lot of the other stuff depends on Conan's modelling though he has started redoing the grapes.

If you add sunlight, add roof windows, or artificial lights

artificial lights
This idea would be cool for dark periods, not for direct sunlight. And once you add all these automated systems, add a logic system so we can make huge auto farms that can be controlled via switches.
