New Addition To Spawn

We'd been toying with the idea of some kind of regeneration area at spawn and Tatankore asked if he could build something, the result is 'The Tree Of Life', stand in the grassy area under the tree and both your health and food will gradually regenerate from virtually nothing in under a minute! 

We liked it so much that we've decided to make it a permanent feature at spawn, you can find it outside the main spawn building next to the Portal Hub, enjoy!

Two New World Portals Added

The areas around the four existing portals are quite well populated now so we've added 2 more:

World Portal 2e - Woodlands & Mountains

World Portal 4e - Taiga & Desert

The 'e' stands for extreme as the new destinations are at distances of over 3500 metres from Spawn Island in areas that are still pretty much unexplored, so there is plenty of available space and resources.

Enjoy!

Item Limiter Fixed

The quarry limit fix had a weird side effect on some other blocks where it ignored data values, so the limit for one block ended up being shared between all blocks with that ID, so for example the limit for block 126:0 was shared between relays, collectors, plus RM & DM blocks and furnaces, giving a very low limit for each item!

This is now fixed and the limits behave as normal, what's more I managed to fix it without rolling back the quarry fix so the item limiter is now working exactly as originally intended.

Enjoy!

Kit Bug Fixed

Due to a typo one of the kits was behaving a little weirdly, this has now been fixed!

Enjoy!

Introducing Kits

For technical reasons we can't use the automatic kit feature of Essentials but we've come up with an alternative that is now in place and working.

Typing /kit will show you a list of available kits, the kits we've set up are as follows:

Starter:
Consists of - Stone Axe, Stone Pickaxe, Stone Sword, Stone Shovel, 2 x Bread & 1 x Mushroom Stew.
It is intended to be claimed once only by new players, although existing players can also claim it if they want, this kit cannot be claimed more than once per player per year.
This kit is available in all worlds except Marble End.

Daily:
Consists of - 1 x Golden Apple & 4 x Alchemical Coal.
Think of this kit as a daily bonus, it can be claimed by any player once every 24 hours.
This kit is available in all worlds except Marble End.

Marble:
Consists of - Stone Sword.
This kit replaces the chests in the Marble End spawn rooms and means that you can now get a new stone sword if it breaks or you die, without having to leave the world and return. This kit can be claimed by any player once every 2 minutes.
This kit is only available in Marble End.

Make sure you have space in your inventory before claiming a kit.

More kits are likely to be added in the future, Enjoy!

Fixes & Changes

The changes today contained quite a few fixes, mostly behind the scenes stuff (less console spam, yay!), but here's a couple of fixes that I know many players, including staff, will be very happy about:

Timers etc - The minimum time is now 1.5 again instead of 1.6, you'll need to manually lower any currently set to the old default of 1.6 seconds.

Quarries - One of our oldest bugs has finally been squashed, you can still only place 1 quarry at a time, but you can now pick up and replace it as many times as you want.

Project Table & RM Furnace:

Another change made this morning has almost eliminated console spam created by blocking these dupes, so they are now restricted to Member rank or above rather than Member+.

/help Command:
This command is now enabled for all ranks but restricted to just showing commands for the plugin 'Essentials' for everyone except Admins, unfortunately for other plugins it was showing every possible command (25 pages!) whether you had permission to use them or not.

Enjoy!
