And logs? Tell me it's logs. I want to decimate a jungle biome.DNoved1 wrote:Blight kills leaves up to a certain height from the ground, leaving the stumps behind.
Logs are left behind.Dorugami wrote:And logs? Tell me it's logs. I want to decimate a jungle biome.DNoved1 wrote:Blight kills leaves up to a certain height from the ground, leaving the stumps behind.
Thanks a lot for killing my dreams. I guess it's better than nothing I suppose.Katalliaan wrote:Logs are left behind.Dorugami wrote:And logs? Tell me it's logs. I want to decimate a jungle biome.DNoved1 wrote:Blight kills leaves up to a certain height from the ground, leaving the stumps behind.
I still looks decimated, what with no leaves, just logs and a sickly yellow grass.Dorugami wrote:Thanks a lot for killing my dreams.

No one was ignoring it, like ive said by the time it was noticed it was far beyond the point of walling off, pouring water on it, ect. Also I didn't have the power to kick/ban anyone I was just a player on someone else server at the time. And last but not least, *if* it is on the edge of your loaded chunk how are you supposed to pay attention to it till it reaches your general area? You can't.jkievlan wrote:I can see how blight might become a problem on a SMP server if a player creates it and the others simply ignore it. My worlds are all SSP and I pay attention to that sort of stuff :) But...really? If your SMP players are ignoring blight and letting it run wild, I'd say you need to kick some idiots out of the server. Doesn't change the fact that if you *are* paying attention, you can easily control it.Dale wrote:Yeah comments like this are just flaming, It wasn't my server. In fact I was the one on the server who spotted it. So here's an example based on a true story.SpoilerShowYou build an SFS beacon. It spawns blight, you log out. People keep the map loaded being on the edge of loaded chunks. You log in and see blight everywhere. Nuff said.
Rob wrote:From the way it's worded on the wiki. Wouldn't you have to purposefully screw yourself for blight to get out of hand? It can't traverse vertically until it touches water(source), then lava(source) and THEN a portal. I don't know about most of your worlds, but 9 times out of 10 it will only ever meet a water source. So a wall is not impossible to create. If blight truly did take over a large portion of your server, make the wall just outside the loaded chunk distance. And make new walls as you 'beat' it back and reclaim the landscape. It is a wonderful server event come to think of it. And if you leave the walls intact it will add a focal point for stories to be told of past battles. Band together and fight back the infection as a team. Isn't that why you are playing together anyway? Banning someone for not knowing any better is a little extreme. And scrapping a whole server because a few dozen chunks are covered in an infection you can cure with time is also silly.
I've never combated blight, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. But I would actually enjoy the chance to reclaim a level 1/2 blight infection. Leaving a small section walled off to show the 'struggle' never ended.
Lol. Nice :)Rob wrote: I've never combated blight, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
And Rob wins the thread. Well played, sir.Rob wrote:I've never combated blight, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Well, I was only talking about its original creation. I wasn't thinking about the other stuff, but I should have specified that.Foxy Boxes wrote:Not sure if unaware... or trolling...dawnraider wrote:Portals have nothing to do with blight, apart from being the first step towards its creation tech-wise.

No.
If blight truly did take over a large portion of your server,
Wasn't my server, I am sure I made that point multiple times.
make the wall just outside the loaded chunk distance. And make new walls as you 'beat' it back and reclaim the landscape.
This is pretty much saying "deal with it". Which I would have done.
Banning someone for not knowing any better is a little extreme.
If someone applys to my server I expect them to know the rules, a rule is no wild blight. So how could they not know better?
And scrapping a whole server because a few dozen chunks are covered in an infection you can cure with time is also silly.
Again, I am not the one who scrapped the server. And it was spreading faster than I could stop it to begin with.

Interesting.

Dale, my original comment was only directed at you in the fact that, a blight infection can be dealt with, in a fun and engaging server wide event. Mainly, because I noticed you are always trying to create participation on the servers you play on. The rest was more of a general comment to the situation of blight and blight control. "Deal with it" might be harsh, but what else has BTW, and FC, taught us to do, if not deal with problems that arise? A blight infection that only reaches level 2 is nothing to get upset about. It's a fun distraction that forces socializing events on servers that are all to solo minded with a chat system(my experience). Blight doesn't ruin the game, or the world. Players' attitude towards it is to blame in that regard.Dale wrote:SpoilerShowRob wrote:Wouldn't you have to purposefully screw yourself for blight to get out of hand?

I disagree with your heavy words, and feel a general stoning from even posting here so far. Heavily restricted is just bull, its a voted on rule that won by a landslide. Im tired of defending it really, main point was aesthetics to begin with. So paint me a bad guy if you want but you are wrong in every way. Anyways I feel like all I would be doing in the future of this thread is defending myself from half thought out comments from people who seem to have an abundant supply of molotovs. Regardless, my general statement on blight is it is more fun when controlled. Hell I could easily say that the intended way of playing is to netherize all livestock and not control that either just because "FC put those features in the game" so it must be the "intended way of playing" by your logic.Gilberreke wrote:Dale, I really wonder what you're trying to accomplish here.
You seem to like heavily restricted servers where it's not allowed to plant bloodwood or groth and where blight spread is a bannable offense. That's just fine, if you like to play that way, but if that was the intended way of playing, then why would FC put those features in the game?
Some food for thought?
Why is that in reply to my post? I'm not attacking you :/Dale wrote:rant
Honestly, I think that started when you started calling people noobs for accurately describing how blight works :PDale wrote: I disagree with your heavy words, and feel a general stoning from even posting here so far.
Eh.. Fyi, the haha noob was for saying blight didnt ruin a world unless it was mature. Obviously we had different opinions on what ruining a world meant.FlowerChild wrote:Honestly, I think that started when you started calling people noobs for accurately describing how blight works :PDale wrote: I disagree with your heavy words, and feel a general stoning from even posting here so far.
Guys, please take it down a notch. Thread lock imminent.
