FTB Server - Be mindful of what you leave running!

Doh!

Just an FYI for everyone in case anyone else has noticed this lately:

Some of my Mystbooks have taken to a habit of dropping me inside of a loaded chunk, and by inside, I mean inside the blocks present in that chunk. That includes lava.

Oddly, I have not (yet) suffered any damage or loss as a result, but please keep all appendages tightly clenched around your pick while on your travels. PSA brought to you by Miners' Anonymous: Admitting you hoard is the first block.

Lol... but Minecraft is a perfect therapy to hoarders in RL. We play the game too much that we don't have time to collect more things to hoard in RL.

I dont Hoard!!! I NEEEEEEEEEEED all this stuffs - and most of yours if I'm to be honest.

I play in Kerry Packer Mode - I get everything I can get my hands on, alienate most people on the way and eventually build some monstrosity to my greatness that everyone else hates and considers an eyesore/detriment to the community!
(Then will probably die of an angry heart attack)

I even have the 'James Packer" mod (My Son) = uses up a lot of my resources for making toys!

KP Mode FTW! (and then eventual loss)

I have taken to creating spacious rooms where I link my mystbooks in an attempt to try and prevent this. I also don't move just after teleporting. It seems to have made a difference although I still occasionally have the same issue you describe (and it has never resulted in loss of life or items).

Edit: And avoid standing on half blocks when setting books, can be a bit glitchy...

ok, just bumping this because we've had another incident of very bad lag. This one again seemed to be contributed greatly by 2 running quarries within a few chunks of each other, with flowing water (this time from a melted Myst glacier mountain behind the quarry, not in the quarry itself), and probably the very large amount of piping spanning the area.

As anyone who has been on the server in the last week can attest - we're getting a LOT of lag problems. We need to try and do things to clear this up for the sake of all the players.

We have now added some rules concerning quarries, to help combat lag. http://www.theoldergamers.com/forum/...rry-rules.html

In addition to those, we ask that all players turn off ALL MACHINERY when they leave the server, so that it is not left running while they are not on the server. Admins may (at their discretion) go around turning off people's machines who have left them running and are not online.

We also ask that you be mindful of how many animals, items, machines and any running water in your lot or around your quarries.

Please use the animal pens outside the Myst book room for any wool/meat you may need (replenish animals you kill - you can breed more if you need more wool/meat), instead of keeping your own.
