Thanks...if no moderator is online, a last resort is always to /mail the admin...

OK, thank you!

I also want to say that I'm lovin' the server's feature set. If it weren't for the recent lag issues, I think that it would be my all-time favourite server. The Moon, asteroids, Mars, spacesuits, digtrons, jump drives, technic, and mesecons are a great combination!

I have a digtron docking station, with a teleporting tube on it that teleports to a sorting system. Hence, I can just use my jump drive to fly my spaceship to an asteroid, mine riches with the digtron, and then dock the digtron, where its contents get sucked out and sorted into the proper chests.

I also have a factory where I can essentially input raw materials at one end and get all kinds of finished products out the other end.

Not bragging--just showing people the fun possibilities on this server. And I haven't even built a Uranium refinery yet! Hopefully, I'll get that built and going soon. :)

Your setup sounds awesome, feel free to post screenshots :D

About the lag issues:
I ironed out most of the big lag-factors, i'm afraid we are close to the capacity-limit of minetest with that kind of mods.
It hopefully will get better with version 5.0 (which is close to release, guessing from the issue-milestone :D )

While i'm at it:
Some recent updates

• Spacesuit is now rechargeable with air-bottles (crafting grid)
• Added a new protector-kind: priv_protector (https://git.rudin.io/minetest/priv_protector) good for public streets/places
• Added protected mesecon switch (https://github.com/pandorabox-io/meseco ... ted_switch) and button (https://github.com/pandorabox-io/meseco ... ted_button)
• Added protected mithril chest
• Updated the advtrains mod to the new TSS branch
• Recruited more moderators (thx guys/gals)

[D3STINY]

And for my case? i really want to come back on the server... i love it and i restart to play because i found this server... plz take in consideration that i change my password and my brother will not come back on this server (on my account)

[Sheriff]

...Added protected mithril chest...

I noticed, yesterday, that mithril chests have the same capacity as gold chests. Are there any plans to increase that? It would actually be cool if each chest upgrade doubled the capacity, but I might be asking for too much. ;)

No pressure though. You're probably already a busy guy.

[Stix]

Could you please update to the latest stable (5.0.0 was just released)?

[BuckarooBanzay]

Could you please update to the latest stable (5.0.0 was just released)?

Sure, but not in the next few days, as i'm offgrid anyway and need to test a few things first before i officially upgrade (3d-armor, entity-stuff, and some custom formspecs).
I will put up an announcement in-game and here.
Expect it to happen around the end of next week...

EDIT: There were some digtron-related restarts lately, should be fixed now...

[BuckarooBanzay]

Could you please update to the latest stable (5.0.0 was just released)?

Here the official announcement:

On Saturday, the 16th, 09:00 CEST we will upgrade to v5.0

Please upgrade your clients until then, no connection with older clients will be possible after that

So, umm, ignore that last mail I sent you in the server. I got 5.0 installed, but now I can't join the server until you update it, I think. It gave me some message about unsupported protocols. ??? So I'll be taking a break until the update. See you all after that.

Hehe, don't worry, there is a solution for that too:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install minetest=0.4.17.1+repack-1


(your package name may be different though)

To get back to v5.0 (just for completeness here):

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:minetestdevs/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt remove minetest # remove the old minetest
sudo apt install minetest


PS: we have webmail (https://pandorabox.io/webmail/#!/login) if you somehow can't connect...

Update 2019-03-16

• Updated, to v5.0, see top post...

[IcemanDs]

Congrats, finally.
Plz remove the mods IcemanDs from there. Im not.
Been revoked after f...d by the person i agreed to reinstating privs while i was absent.
Backstabbed after that by banning me because started sponsoring my hard earned resources to players, and stated im overthrowing the market. WTF?
We had issue we descussed, we never banned for that. He told me Lejo was lagging cause of server lag and was banned by me and as explained, we should be "not to fuck" server.
So allow me to give my stuff to players, afterwards you can make it a perm ban.
Not gonna give all to 3C the manipulator that liiterally break minetest laws and remove protection block at will.

Update 2019-03-22

• There are currently engine-related lags going on since the update to v5.0
• https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8414
• It is not entirely in my hands so i don't know how long this will take :/

[BuckarooBanzay]

Update 2019-03-28

The lag-issue is resolved, it was my fault entirely :P
See: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/8414

[IcemanDs]

About
Survial Minetest server with hunger, vacuum and xp.
The main aspects are:

• Space-exploration (with jumpdrive: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=20073)
• Mining on the moon (very rich on ores but hard to survive)
• Missions (in-game creation with: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=20125)
• Experience points and statistics (Mod: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=20124 Statistics: https://pandorabox.io/highscore)
• Admin shop for ores (currency) and Player-Shops for other items

You spawn at the sky-platform above earth. On this platform is the admin-shop and the priv-building.
There are a few Teleporters up there which lead you to earth,moon or deep space.
On earth and under ground spawn dangerous monsters, best to avoid them or gear up!
Buildings on earth can be viewed in the realtime map: https://pandorabox.io/maphttps://pandorabox.io/map/#-1782.25/493.5/10

Moon/Mars/Space
Everything above y 1000 has no atmosphere/air, you have to use a spacesuit to survive there.
Also: torches won't stick and if you build a building there you have to make it air-thight (full blocks and corners) and use the air-pump (HV-machine)

Spaceship
You are encouraged to build your own spaceship for mining on the Moon and traveling among the stars. A basic layout and inspiration can be found on the BuckarooBanzai travelnet (https://pandorabox.io/map/#-1789.03125/472.5/13) at Station MSS Behemoth

Tutorial section
Also on the spawn platform is a Tutorial-teleporter with various player-contributed Tutorials (mesecons, space, etc)

Chat commands

I also want to say that I'm lovin' the server's feature set. If it weren't for the recent lag issues, I think that it would be my all-time favourite server. The Moon, asteroids, Mars, spacesuits, digtrons, jump drives, technic, and mesecons are a great combination!


YEAH, right what he said, he spends like 20min a day in the game, wtf he know? Play your mods and test them... get to know players....

I have a digtron docking station, with a teleporting tube on it that teleports to a sorting system. Hence, I can just use my jump drive to fly my spaceship to an asteroid, mine riches with the digtron, and then dock the digtron, where its contents get sucked out and sorted into the proper chests.

I also have a factory where I can essentially input raw materials at one end and get all kinds of finished products out the other end.

Not bragging--just showing people the fun possibilities on this server. And I haven't even built a Uranium refinery yet! Hopefully, I'll get that built and going soon. :)

Go see servers before you decide, seem like pre-determination... test them all... Four realms got no lagg all mods plus more

[Festus1965]

Go see servers before you decide, seem like pre-determination... test them all... Four realms got no lagg all mods plus more

mhh, test them all or start using the brain about ping,distance and transport time RTT etc . better look first where nearby your own location a server is available Map so the chance to have low ping / RTT gets high - and those server check for like it or not

[BuckarooBanzay]

Update 2019-03-31
I'm currently updating the live-mapserver to the new one: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=21999
