Hey folks.. anyone still play? Direct Connect: 68.232.160.66:27015

So earlier today I was dealing with a pretty major problem, the culprit: Programmable blocks

They were filling the world file with garbage characters, sadly these same characters also filled any and all LCD or text panels used with the program block

So my response is to disable the program block entirely, and I had to wipe every LCD or text panel on server

world file was 980 MB and after I this I got the world file down to 50 MB again

I do apologize for those affected but I didnt have any other choice

it seems LCD screens have been disabled too

it's moreso due to a terrible net code and one coder at keen softwarehouse

Server sim speed has been terrible despite all of the optimizations. I have a feeling it is due to people hording large ships at or near the block limits. I need not explain how 10-15 4000+ block ships will damage the sim speed. A solution is making the bases less safe so they can be found and removed with smaller world size or more speed.

Suprised it wasnt projectors those things are being very strage
