NEWS- Ehh with Aikar lastnight update, it broke stiky pistons. Pigmentus, Fort Wart and Hot rods use stiky pistons, so if someone comes close, it might break them. Fixing them now wont make sense, because if someone comes later, then it will break again(im not sure if they are broken yet thou). So we ask you to evitate these farms for the moment until Aikar fixes the stiky piston bug!
--Kicks self in head-- Sigh. Thanks for letting us know Tuq. I'll have to check out the post regarding this for details.
Note that this isn't by design, it's a bug. Aikar is aware of this and I'm sure they will fix this as soon as possible. But yeah, it might be best to close a few utilities for the moment. For example: the water 'flush' on Pigmentus won't work right now. Just my 2 cents on this of course.
On top of the sticky pistons issue, someone has griefed Pigmentus. Multiple blocks are missing and someone killed the villager. There is no staff online currently.
Toade just finished his investigation & khixan & team are now repairing stuff. wanted 2 do something so figured i might as well keep ppl informed ^.^
And we found even more griefing, but now there's no staff online again. My luck I swear LOL. Thank you all! B0bby, Chris, Corrupted and I are doing repairs as we can.
Toade came back, woo hoo! Almost all fixed guys, except with the sticky piston bug, you CANNOT afk at Pigmentus. The entity count will go insane and you will lag out the server!
Maybe is better if we shut down the portal for the meantime... Someone might do it accidentally, and the spawning of pigmen can happen even if you are relatively far away, so crashing smp8 is not good...
Pigmentus and Hot Rods are temporarily CLOSED until Aikar or Chickener fix the sticky piston bug. They will be re-opened as soon as that bug is resolved. Thank you! EDIT: Please do NOT use the manual crush at Witch Farm (Fort Wart). With the sticky piston bug, you will break the witches being able to drop down.
B0bbyTh3Builder or RDmaster, I need your help please at Pigmentus. The redstone doesn't seem to be firing correctly, and nothing I'm trying is working. Pigmentus is open again, but not working right.
I sorta kinda got it working again Crazy, but it's not right. I'll let Bobby or RD or MrC figure it out. They're 10x better at redstone than the rest of us. Thanks!
Still need help? I'll see if I can find you in-game and will also take a look to see if there's anything I can do. I don't call myself an expert, but I'm pretty fluent when it comes to redstone circuits.
Only Hot Rods is left to fix, many thanks to Bobby and BenMA. I just got home. I need to cook dinner, eat dinner, clean up, and then... we'll see how I feel. I'll either log on and fix it, or fall asleep on the couch LOL. It's been a big day
Well ya seeee.... Hot Rods is already fixed. b0bby, Aya/Shel, and I spent an hour fixing up the pistons and glass. all grinders are working again. Each one has been tested several times.
