Permissions additons

Post by distortions864 »

Some helpful things, for multiplayer servers would be:

Permission to delete own objects, but not other's objects
Permission to shoot biters, but not other players.
Permission to block shooting "objects" or buildings.
Mine trees/ore but not other objects, except own... if set in other permissions?
Permission to set own combinators, but not other's combinators.

I have a script on my server that keeps players in probation for a bit after they connect... helps with griefing... but if these options existed, i could make it a two or three-tier system.

Thanks for your time :)... and thanks for all the amazing work on 0.15 and the patches for it!

This isn't likely to happen. Adding that level of logic would require a complete re-work of the games actions to know if something should be allowed.

The system we have now is incredibly easy on the game to implement: all of the checks are done in 1 place and don't have any impact on game performance. The level of checks you suggest would have a measurable impact on game performance even when not using it - which isn't acceptable.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
