Mining Suggestion

[Conqueror]

Privatized TNT rooms?

Maybe a random level generator upon entry of the room to avoid thieves? It would sure make it much easier for newer players like myself who are trying to work in the mines in peace.

Really? Gah. I can handle 1 rock thief decently, but when there's a little clan of 2-3 of them, it gets a little ridiculous. Definitely discouraging to new players.

That is why you scare them off with fire!

Ah yes rock theft, I receive many complaints concerning this issue. I don't really like the idea of "personal" mines because of well, macroing of course, I can however make the rocks fall in random locations if I were to make personal mines.

For now, all I can think of to prevent rock theft is to not allow players to drill other players rocks if it's still theirs. Feel free to suggest anything that may work.

I'd love that, as would any player who is mining without the use of illegal tools. That would definitely solve the problem for me at least.

And for others who want to mine alongside a friend or something, I'd keep a few of the public TNT rooms as well.

dargaro didnt allow that for some reason and i think it may have had to do with the fact that a player could use a tnt and then go idle. No one else could use that room now because the rocks aren't minable by others. I could see someone using a TNT in every room so no one could mine

dargaro was doing it wrong

Give rocks a 10 minute lifetime, simple.
Level 0 Mining without a Workers potion shouldn't take 10 minutes to finish a TNT cave at the most extreme.

Also, I believe Alf was going to randomize how the rocks dropped and stuff (like he said) when he makes the mining GUI and stuff later on. But there's still a few major things to do before that.

Is it possible to create a random level generator, where everyone is designated to their own separate level upon entry? Meaning that everyone on the whole server could technically mine at the same time "in theory". And with Alfonso's idea of randomizing the rock pattern, there wouldn't really be an issue in privatizing the rooms.

just put spars and mines back available to houses, and just ban whoever macros (lets hope this time alf doesn't unban+restore macroers like he did with rogue)

Yes, it is possible, we're using one with the practice rooms in the Comic Club (If it's still open o.o).
Not saying it'd be an issue but I really don't see a point in doing so when we can just fix the current rooms for players. Although, I do kind of like the idea of private rooms... Hrmm

Since when were mines available in houses? O.o
and also, I never restored him. He's told you before, more than once I believe, Nich restored his items.

gg.

make foggies randomly spawn every few minerals to knock the miner back/sideways to prevent macroing.



that was for you conq, these guys won't get it.

I like this idea! So original

account lock it for 5 minutes or so, if no one takes destroy them
