  1. At some point we are going to need to get staff to help get rid of stuff other players have placed in build mode that don't belong at PWU

  2. Context: I found 5 doors by FeII... I doubt they count but still a worry...

  3. I meant various buttons and dirt placed in build mode that are a pain to deal with.

  4. buttons are probs by khi/tuq/some pwu member for a reason..

  5. Regarding Fe(II) - If you guys found doors around the build... ugh. Hopefully it will fix itself after the server reboots. I have zero desire to remove and replace all those doors on the build. Fingers crossed, thank you all!

  6. would we have to? But the doors were covered by water....

  7. I'm going on a forums hiatus due to a bit of drama.... However, I have one thing to say spawned by something that happened between T and another player. Kinda a PSA.

    There are public CROP farms at most, if not all, of the farms. FeII/Pigmentus/Bone Machine, Triple Grinders (3G from me), Hot Rods (there's an overworld one, yep), and I *think* Sushi if I recall right, and even at the old portal building. Now, there's a common issue at all of these locations of the farms: Buildmode.
    Many times have I or others gone through to check, and I, the queen of "woops, no food", have often tried to harvest the crops, only to get the "you cannot break this block". Problem? Not really, I politely poke the person, and get a mod. No problems arise.

    T recently did this as well, and handled it perfectly, to get a sharp response that I feel is unnecessary.

    I'm not gonna ramble about that, I'm just gonna say this because of that. If you use these crop farms, *please* do /buildmode false, or /noprotectmode. It's much less likely to get an accidentally build moded crop that no one but your besties can harvest. If one of us gently pokes you about it, please do not respond harshly, we're just doing our jobs.

    Thank you. And sorry if I seem like a dragon.

  8. Please welcome top_benny to PWU!

    I know we've been very quiet lately, but yes folks, we're still here ;)
    I will update the OP once I hear back from Benny on what he wants to work on.
    Thank you Benny for offering your time to PWU! Much appreciated :)
  9. I'm exploring this place a bit. It's very impressive.

    Would you consider making a direct ice boat nether link to the Tree Eater?
    Tuqueque, _DONT_PINCH_ME_ and khixan like this.
  10. Yes I would. Assuming that it's far enough away from Pigmentus (or any player private portals) to link up which I do think it is.

  11. There is a small... thing at Fe(II). I am hesitant to call it griefing because it looks like a new player decided to add a build above Fe(II). Trying to find staff so it can be removed. I am out there on it with Corrupted now.

  12. If you need me to I can take a little look, if I figure out we’re it is, so maybe I can get a staff to look at it.

  13. All done, BK kindly handled it for us. Thanks Benny!

  14. Your welcome! Good Job BK!

  15. CarolMoss and Agent took care of a grief for us out at Fort Wart. Just FYI. Agent wants me to run out there and check it since he was not part of that build. He's back after a few years of MIA. All hail the return of Agent, and thank you CarolMoss!

    In other notes, I need to:
    • add Benny to the PWU storage on my 3rd DONE!
    • see if adding a portal exit around the tree farm and Bone Machine is possible
    • more "locker rooms" are needed out at Sushi Drop (assigned to Benny!)
  16. Benny seems more than capable of taking on the important task of adding more locker rooms to Sushi Drop :D
  17. I would love to add more lockers to sushi drop, I will also look for greifing around pwu, and get staff to remove it. Is it alright if I recruit a friend to help me with the lockers?
    Thanks
    -Benny

  18. Thanks Benny!
    If your friend wants to help you excavate the new room, or place chests in /noprotectmode, that's fine by me. Anything placed in protected mode needs to be you because you're part of PWU (on my flist, on the OP list, etc).
    All the supplies are on my 3rd res (/v khixan-3 pwu). All chests for locker rooms have to be placed in /noprotectmode or people can't lock them. All signs for locking go in the chests (toss one in each chest). The chests do need to be spaced out for anyone to be able to lock them. Look at any existing PWU locker room and how we have them spaced apart.
    Other Locker Room Specs -
    Your design must prevent any spawns. You probably already know what that means, but just in case you don't... It's the overworld, so you can do a well lit room or floor (in floor lighting always looks nice), bottom slabbed floor, or a floor made of non-spawnable blocks such as glass, leaves, glowstone, sea lanterns, etc.
    Please leave one area for further expansion if feasible. If your room bumps up against other builds, that won't be possible, but if it doesn't, just mark off a section of wall (or floor with ladders) for "future expansion".
    Avoid any items that cause lag or entity count increases. Things like banners, heads, hoppers, armor stands, etc. One or two of these items isn't gonna be a problem, but don't fill a room with them please.

    There should be at least one area out there already ready for future expansion. If you can't find it, holler.

    I look forward to checking out what you come up with out there! :D Thank you very much! I'll log on and get you into the PWU storage. Take whatever you need for the room from it. There are tons of chests, signs and other stuffs.

  19. Thanks! Will start soon.

  20. FadedMartian has initiated a "Clean Up Wild North along Roads" initiative. Faded, Agennt, Sadie and I were out there for about 4 hours today. We made it to Bone Machine.

    CarolMoss came and helped, and then Boulder came out to handle locked chests. Thank you both very much!

    For the rest of this project, it would probably be far better to get the coords of places we need a mod or an SS ahead of time, and provide them with a nice organized list. That way we won't take up so much of their time. Cheers all :)
