Allow Mobs to Produce Materials at a Faster Rate Back

Gestern_Morgen 20 hours ago

Dear admins and fellow players,

Before the changes to entity limits, I used to have several mob farms which I designed to produce materials incredibly quickly. It was disheartening to say the very least when the admins made changes to the entity limits and killed all mobs in my specially designed farms. While I can completely understand the desire for better server performance, I do not believe the drastic changes to entity limits were the right solution. I am sure many other players, especially farmers, can testify that the damage done to our beloved farms was not worth the minor improvement in server performance (I personally do not notice it whatsoever).

I am aware, though it grieves my heart, that the admins are likely too stubborn to reconsider their decision. With this in mind, I would like to request an increase to the rate at which mobs produce materials. For example chickens would be able to lay eggs more often, and sheep would regrow their wool faster. This way, both the desires of the admins and players are catered to.

On a side note, I would also like an apology for the damage done to my sheep and chicken farms. The admins mercilessly killed hundreds of sheep and chickens in my town while I was offline. A warning of their intentions would have at least given me time to capture the mobs and set them aside to be used in a way which complied with the new requirements. I found this incredibly rude, especially considering the time I spent making these farms, and the fact that I did not break any rules.

Regards,

No changes to entity limits were made. An exploit that allowed you to bypass the entity limit was removed.

Housing 561 sheep in a 32x32 block square is very obviously not within the entity limits and you're not going to be receiving any warning for bypassing server mechanics.

You're lucky I decided that the sheep removal and wool removal was enough punishment, as per our rules and punishment guidelines this warranted a minimum ban length of 30 days with 1/3 strikes counting towards a permanent unappealable ban.

Since this suggestion is more of a rage soapbox than a suggestion, I'll be marking it Invalid.

If you want to propose it as an actual suggestion with reasons at to why this should be implemented and the current production rates are insufficient, then I'll consider it. As of right now, there's no significant need for this considering a small chicken farm can produce dubs of eggs a day and wool prices are at a 60-day low of $0.15 per wool, which is $9.6 per 64, only a 92% increase over your exploit-fueled market prices.

What exploit??

The server explicitly said nametagged mobs were not subject to the entity limits. How else did you expect this feature to be used.

I will most likely quit the server as farming is pretty much impossible on a large scale now.

"Wow, this server implemented limits to the number of animals in a farm.

The server also said that nametagged animals won't despawn.

I'm sure they just implemented this limit to make us name all of our farm animals, they totally didn't add this limit to prevent lag and then exclude nametagged animals so that pets and other non-farm animals like a pet sheep wouldn't despawn by accident."

Sure bud.
