New Drill Mod and Rules!! Important!

UnhungryHippo — Sat, 07 Feb 2015 20:51:29 +0000

Hi everyone,

In order to help keep sim speed playable, the server is going to implement the following drill mod along with a modification to drill allowances.

Only 1 Drill of any kind on a ship.
You're now allowed to have an additional 25 tools as well as the single allowed drill on a grid.

Note: I've been lenient on enforcing drill rules (giving warnings to people) instead of removing grids that breach them, but I will now put into effect a script that will remove drills as soon as they go over the drill allowance.

The mod and new rules will come into effect on 9 Feb after the daily server restart.

Feel free to come to me with questions and suggestions as always!

Thanks for playing on MBFR

Disappearing Med Bays Fixed!

UnhungryHippo — Thu, 05 Feb 2015 21:02:29 +0000

Hi,

I would like to inform everyone that I've figured out the issue behind the disappearing med bays. So we should hopefully not be seeing anymore of that (unless someone finds your base and raids it of course).

Apologies to everyone that's lost stuff before because of this.

Thanks for playing on MBFR!

Hi everyone,

due to some sort of save file corruption that happened, I've had to roll back the server to 1800hours GMT + 1, 1 Feb2015.

Apologies for the inconvenience and thanks for playing on MBFR!

Server Back Up

UnhungryHippo — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 13:15:25 +0000

Server is now back up and running, but had to be rolled back to 0600 hours.

If you had built stuff between then and the daily restart at 1000 hours, please feel free to contact me about it.

Server Updated to 1.067

UnhungryHippo — Sat, 31 Jan 2015 18:28:22 +0000

Sorry for the long wait, server's now updated to 1.067!

There's a chance that the bug might still appear. If during play some of your stuff magically disappears, contact me and I'll try to work something out with you

Thanks for playing on MBFR!

Delayed Sever Update

UnhungryHippo — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 21:40:57 +0000

Hi everyone,

as most of you have noticed, the server hasn't been updated to version 1.067 yet. The reason behind this is because there are reports of the new update causing random things to go missing.

I will be monitoring this and hopefully there will be some sort of workaround or futher confirmation that maybe this isn't as severe as it seems at first. Until then though, I will be holding off on updating the server.

Sorry for the inconvenience to all and thanks for playing on MBFR!

Procedural!

UnhungryHippo — Thu, 15 Jan 2015 08:26:30 +0000

The server has now transitioned to procedural worlds!

Here are the changes:

-- Procedural density is low.
-- All previous asteroids have been removed.
-- World Size is still 200km
-- View distance is now only 8km (previous 20km)

In the near future I will be adding some high value asteroids close to the center to encourage people to move around (for pvp).

As always, if you have any problems or suggestions I'm always open to hear them.

Cheers!

World Size Increase!

UnhungryHippo — Sat, 03 Jan 2015 11:05:22 +0000

Map Size has increased from 65km to 200km! More places to hide for everyone!

Disappearing Ships and Stations

UnhungryHippo — Sat, 27 Dec 2014 23:08:00 +0000

Hi everyone,

I've been getting reports on ships and stations getting randomly deleted. It looks like there are a few servers starting to report something like this happening to them as well so it may be related to the last update.

Anyway, if this has happened to you, send me a message on steam with your ship/station name/entity id and the last time you saw it around and I should be able to take a look at it for you. If it does look like it didn't get raided, I will be happy to reimburse you for it.

This is also a good reminder for everyone to jot down the entity id of their stuff and/or rename them so I can help you guys whenever stuff like this happens.

Cheers!
