New mods, Bug Fixes & New Prefab Protection For Server POI's (Hub etc)

Image
Finally finished the new protection system for the servers prefabs. The old way of protecting prefabs has been broken in a21.1 and can no longer be used. Until a more ideal solution comes along i have made a temporary workaround. Block damage in protected areas has been reduced as low as possible. (pretty much 1hp) in addition players damaging blocks will lose 25 health, ragdoll and receive a warning not to damage the area. Players that continue to damage blocks will die from the health loss. There was a bug in the way i did the craftable lights that reverted all poi lights settings to a default state, not great for performance or atmosphere, so i've completely rewrote the whole thing and added a couple more lights to it. That bug should no longer be an issue anymore. I've added a new block variant for barbed wire, can be crafted in the forge. Finally i've fixed many many bugs. I also just realised i never posted the full mods patch notes as i usually do, so i'll post t...

Both Server Now Live Finally!

After a long couple months both servers are now back up and running. There are some small things i've yet to finish like: -NSS Main Webmap is non functional -NSS Main ui has broken links & Misaligned UI -NSS Main is missing the discovery bonuses for traders -NSS Main has not had it's webmap markers added (reset zones, traders, etc) -NSS Main & NSS DID have had my new block protection buffs pulled for the time being (ran into a last minute issue that will take some time to fix, so just pulled it for now) I'm going to take a much needed break over the weekend and hang out on the servers. Come monday i'll get my head back down and finish off the last of those minor issues. Hope you all enjoy the servers details bellow have fun!

Test Version Of Servers Mods Available On DID & Servers A21 Roadmap

I've finally gotten a more or less functional version of the servers mods ready for initial playtesting. There are some issue with it however, the UI is still screwy in places and some localisation may be incorrect or missing. I'll start dealing with those issues next but it's playable for the moment. Let me know if you see any errors in things like crafting unlock requirements, crafting ingredients, item/weapon stat issues. A21 is the first alpha i've not been able to have everything ready for stable so i apologise for the delays. The current plan for DID and the Main server is: - Finish fixing UI /Localisation issues with the mod & any bugs found - Get all the custom prefabs converted for A21 - Create a new vanilla 10k Map for DID with all of the mains servers features (server hub, custom prefabs, arena etc) - Package up all public mods/prefabs for release and finish up any testing that needs done - Create a 10K map Using the Teragon Map Generator for the main ser...

New Mod - Farming Overhaul

Image
Been a while but I'm back on some content before A21 launches. I wanted to address the controversial farming changes introduced in A20 before we head into the A21 Cycle. Having tried it i didn't find the yields too bad, no perks & Living Of The Land 1 wasn't very profitable (or sustainable with no perks) however. So my focus has been mainly on addressing the tedium of crops no longer reverting to seeds when harvested since that just adds mindless busy work forever replanting. So with this new mod i've been working on you will never need to replant a seed after harvesting. Harvested crops will downgrade to seeds again. To balance not having to give up a large chuck of your crops to crafting new seeds i've nerfed the 50% chance to get a seed on harvest to 20%, Living of the land 1 has also been nerfed from +100% more crops to +50% LOL3 has been reduced from +300% to +100%. This still nets you more slightly more crops that A20's current system but it's not ...

Maintenance notice

Got another one on the morning of 13/07/22 between 8am-12pm the servers will go down for approximately 1-3 hours. I haven't moved the servers back yet so it will be a normal maintenance day on Tuesday.

Maintenance notice

On the morning of 29/06/22 between 8am-12pm the servers will go down for approximately 1-3 hours. I need to temporarily move the physical servers, but i can do that on the regular tuesdays maintenance day so expect potentially longer disruptions for that day also.

New Trader Prefab - Trader Jenny's

Image
Got another new prefab finished today, trader Jenny's Nightclub. Complete with dancing trader and zombies ;P It's in line with vanilla traders, 1 trader, 1 vending machine, 3 rented vending machines etc. There are 3 on the main server all 3 replace an existing trader's poi, so you may find one somewhere you've already been. The optional files have been updated, you can find them on the links page or Here .

New Server Mod Available

Image
Got a number of additions and changes for you today. First up the changes, cars and tree grow time has been increased to 30 ingame days. crops have been reduced to 7 ingame days. The new sound added for the auger hitting metal has been moved to the sound of hitting stone and a new sound is now used for metal. Respawning tree's & seed nerf All trees will now respawn after 30 ingame days. Once harvested they change to a sunken stump as the growing stage. Seeds have been hugely  reduced with only a 20% chance to harvest 1 tree seed per tree. These changes are to make tree farms  obsolete as trees in the world will now regrow there is no more need for fps sucking tree farms. I have also made 3 new food types (Nut Mix) made from the 3 tree seed types. These are primitive foods that require  no skills to craft. To craft you need 1 blueberry and 2 of the same seed type. Rested buff I've made a new buff you get from standing on your bed. There are 2 types of this buff, rested...

Servers Updated To Experimental A20.1 Branch

 A20.1 has released in the experimental branch. Normally i leave the servers on the stable branch until the updates get pushed from experimental. However a20.1 has some much need tweaks and fixes so i've decided to go ahead and update immediately in this case. You will have to once again select the betas tab and opt into the experimental branch to update your client.

A20 Main Server Launch

Image
If you've been on discord you have already been playing as things were set up, but for everyone else. The main server is back for A20. This has been a hectic launch to say the least, so i decided to launch a barebones server on Christmas eve and set up the features behind the scenes later. There are still a couple things still not available like the arena, but that will arrive over the next few days. We have all the mods, custom prefabs, server hub with tp portal etc and the numerous features curtesy of CSMM, tp's, etc  The webmap is available but incomplete for the moment, that will hopefully get sorted soon. All server details are below including the optional files for the custom prefabs.

Moving to a new alpha details

Word on the grape vine is A20 will be releasing to streamers this weekend and public experimental the following Monday. However take that with a pinch of salt as it may be the weekend after or later, however i thought i'd explain the migration process so players know what to expect. First up is some basics, most players here will already know these but for the sake of completion i'll explain them anyway. When a new major alpha version is released current worlds and saves will no longer be compatible. So a new map and save is required, that's just the way it is. New major alpha versions always release in experimental first. This means your game won't update if you're currently opted out of betas (the default in steam) To get it to update to the experimental version i'd recommend launching the game with "show game launcher" first and use the "clean game data" option in the tools tab, i'd then uninstall. At this point you can right click the...

Small Update - New Custom Small Prefab

Image
  Added another custom POI to the servers portfolio, this time wind turbines. This is a tier 0 POI no quests, however there are enemies and some loot. There are 11 of them scattered around the map, look in the mountains to find them ;) As Usual Optional files Download updated. Another small update is Tuesdays are going to be our maintenance days. Every week i'll restart all the gear and update all the software. This is so everything continues to run smoothly and consistently. Expect a couple minutes longer unscheduled server restart best case on the day. (I'll of course inform any players on at the time, will happen usually morning to afternoon) Worst case up to 30 minutes of downtime depending on what needs done.

Small Update - New custom POI for the main server

Image
  A small side project I've been working on, a lighthouse POI. It's just a small tier 2 POI but it is questable. I've placed 8 of them around the map. Follow the coast and you'll run into one of them eventually ;) I also updated the optional files with the new prefab, so if you want to be able to see it at a distance. While not required to explore, loot etc it must be installed client side for the distant mesh to function. However if not installed the only issue that's apparent is it won't appear (Spawn) until you are close to it. You can get the updated optional files Here  As usual there is a simple readme in there for install instructions.

Custom Prefab Changes for A20

Image
 I always like to overhaul my prefabs before the next update. So i've been mainly working on the Carrier server hub prefab. I've managed to improve performance by 50% for this prefab since it's often the worst performing area on the server while being the first place people spawn. Some of the changes will require a new system for the player stores, rented vending machines and player quarters. Having every single one fully furbished has a huge performance impact.   So now there is 1 "demo/example" store for both types and the same with the quarters. The rest are empty and "shuttered". Donators who wish to run a store or setup their quarters can now simply build it how they want. The only rules are you can only have 2 vending machines in the smaller stores and 4 in the larger ones for donators. Any player may also place their own vending machine in the vending machine area (1 per player only) This is to help keep performance at an acceptable level since th...

Server Updated to A19.4

Been a while but i'm still around :P been pretty quiet at Nazy's Survivors but there are a couple items today. First server is updated to A19.4 and 2nd is a while ago i set up a server to self host CSMM. What this means is we have a dedicated machine handling that manager now and we will no longer experience CSMM outages or slow downs with the player commands due to the CSMM servers being overloaded.

New Server

 Tonight a new dead is dead nightmare server is available. This server is super hard and punishing. Zombies speed is always nightmare and horde night is every night. When you die your player data and land claim are deleted. No airdrops, no loot respawn, the servers map is reset every night at 00:00 GMT but anything in an active land claim will be saved. Zombie block damage is also at 150%. Good luck, you will need it ;) Also I've added extra vehicle seats to both servers. It's just the Gyro copter (3 seats) and motorcycle (2 seats) i may add more seats to the 4x4 at some point, but for now i can only test with 2 players.

It's been pretty quite at Nazy's Survivors, so I've taken the downtime to make all the legendary items craftable.
