[Update] Misc bug fixes and dev update

Discussion in 'Empire Updates' started by chickeneer, Jul 12, 2019.

  1. So no breeding of villagers in utopia, I think most players with res in Utopia will love that.
  2. Inaction is not the decision. I just don't know what we are doing yet.
    Rest assured, that your worries are noted
  3. I have thought up an acceptable solution for utopia.
    Instead of freezing time. Time will be set back to morning just before night time is reached. Thus giving villagers an opportunity to go through their schedule. Minus sleeping potentially.
  4. Thats a nice solution :) only downside I can see is the relative shortage of phantom membranes in utopia frontier/wild since there will be a shortage of phantoms. Maybe not a huge problem, since some phantoms will still be spawning during thunderstorms (or rather will always spawn during thunderstorms since noone will ever go to sleep) The utopians can get membranes from other smps either by trading or hunting during thunderstorms but still a relative shortage.

    But hey, with mending on the elytra not biggest of problem and since no fall damage in utopia the incentive to brew slow-falling potions is kinda low anyways.

    :D

  5. A shortage that is realistic and balanced considering the lack of increased risk in utopia, due to having no night.
  6. and as compensation, the possiblity to double the trade with utopian villagers since they will get 2 daily work sessions. :D

  7. You do have to remember that there are 9 other servers that will be different
    Compared to utopia
    For phantoms to spawn

  8. A little confused, just to be certain phantoms wont spawn in town, right?
  9. There are no hostile mobs in town. :D

  10. Definitely no Phantoms in town.
  11. Been keeping an eye on the Dev tracker and the EMC github, keep up the good work chickeneer! :D
  12. Honestly, I don't care much about a timeframe. I just want to say with all my heart I believe that you will get this update online soon enough. It's your hard work make Empire the best mc server I've played. Thank you.

  13. Won't that run the issue of mobs spawning? I don't have the technical info on when villagers go back into their homes but it's not by sunset.
  14. The element I'm most excited for is grindstone.... so many useless books gained from AFK fishing that their only use is to put them in the grindstone and remove the enchantments, that is unless they are the curse ones. Same for Armors, weapons, etc. Be nice to remove those enchantments and fix up the armors and not worry about how the enchants will mess or override anymore, again barring the curses.

    I'm also hoping that I have a beefy computer before this update drops. It would be nice to get on EMC and not feel like I'm swimming through a bog with my current 2 gb of ram.......

  15. Unrelated question, what kind of computer do you have?

  16. I don't understand your question. This would only be for utopia. Shouldn't effect mob spawning any more than normal utopia mechanics.
  17. Oh this is in town only? I thought you were talking about the wild as well
  18. It will be fine. Villagers daily schedule end with sleep at 12000 (gameticks) and then there is still light level of 12-14 (slight dusk) If the gameticks is resetted to 0 when it reaches 12000 then it starts with light level of 13-14. Hostile mobs spawns with light level lower then 8.

    not only for town, it's for the whole of utopia, meaning town, frontier and waste.

    (Sidenote: Didnt know that but bats have a significant higher spawn rate during real-life halloween btwn 20 oct- 3 nov :))

  19. A $200 walmart special laptop that started with Windows 8 on it, that was updated to Windows 10, but because it was bought as Windows 8 launched, it has no memory and no computing capacity. It is a glorified Web cruiser, nothing more lol.

    The AFK fishing occurred with my old computer that BSOD'd and had the harddrive die on it.

    I am curious how we'll achieve the top level trades (I've not been able to keep up with posting on this thread due to work.), considering that Zombies and curing are contingent.

    Granted, isn't there a spawnable enraged something or other that functions like a zombie in Town that could do the same thing?

  20. You don't need zombies at all. Just use villager spawn eggs. But you can still cure zombies in the wild if it's dark enough to spawn.

    If you are referring to the method of making a zombie infect a villager, then curing it to get everything for 1 emerald.. that was fix by mojang and won't be possible anyways.
