NEW MAP! This one should be interesting be sure to check out the map picture on the main post if you're interested. Good luck!

Picture in first post broken. Also heavy shortage of iron. Not sure if solvable since we don't have much iron to use to kill dem critters.

[EDIT]
Found a small patch of iron east that was reachable. Made the mining site, but somebody needs to connect up the train to make it work.

I cant personally do anything at this point... i dont know if any one else can. we ran out of iron and all the supply is under biters from what i can see...

There were some turrets we used to turret creep, but at some point we lost and now also the turrets are gone.

No more iron, no more turrets and no more tank/tank ammo.

Please restart server.

I found and crafted like 24 laser turret and made my way to a mini iron patch south of the base with some dude

I should jump in here sometime. How frequent is the griefing?

version 0.12.22 is really bugging and slow with multiplayer

the map is poor on resources.
we took control over a small iron patch.
there's a train trail leading to the main base.

next steps are to disable most of manufacturing and leave only military production and get more iron.


multiplayer hangs up on various steps on connection.
multiplayer can get into a desync loop (if you get desync, why download the ENTIRE MAP all over again? at least divide it by section and download the relevant one...)
when force closing the game and reconnecting I would respawn without being able to move and on the map I can see my marker

pointless.
the whole man is covered by natives
there are only VERY TINY iron fields that are near the natives.

please restart server to medium/normal settings.
game's pointless, need iron to be able to do anything like ammo or whatever and we can only push with laser turrets and even then get tiny fields

I agree with

I'm currently in mexico and have no way to reset it. Sorry that it's impossible I put it on the hardest settings for a bit of a challenge. Once I get ahold of a computer I'll reset the map asap. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Side note I get to be a father soon!

congratulations, my sister gave birth last month on the 15th of January.
what week is she?

39. Should be giving birth either today or tomorrow.

Alright after some horrible scripting work the new map should be up. I will never recommend scripting on a phone. As for the settings of the map I think it's all default. As usual if you have any questions or concerns lemme know. Thanks for being patient and have fun.

Paging NoMcpants...

Flokri has been trying to join the server for the past 15 minutes, causing desyncs, etc. We've literally been unable to move, and he's not gotten the hint.

more like 20-25 min now.. dammit Factorio crappy network code

I apologize as there is very limited things I can do with my phone atm. Hopefully he gives up. I'm going to work on a admin panel so certain players can ban people.

So how does that work, you made your custom server? what language is it?

you sniff network package to get the players name or something?

It's just bash scripting nothing fancy. Uses grep to parse the logs to find player names. Regarding how to ban people unfortunately atm it's very sloppy and will involve iptables to nullroute the banned players ip from the server.

really need to find a way to ban most European, this is unplayable with this lag

Well the EU is quite a large part of the community and at the moment and I believe this is the only public server avaliable on 12.22. In the future I believe the latency hiding is going to be improved upon. I'd be more than happy to start a EU server if people donated to pay for it.
