"Stonegate" is home to (currently) six active, experienced Minecraft players. We've played since the beginning - vanilla mine craft - and have recently switched from tekkit to FtB. We seek to expand our core group of six, as to expand our FtB knowledge by sharing our creations. We are primarily an 18+ server. Although the server uptime is nearly 100%, our peak times are anywhere from 4pm - 1am North American time. If you are a mature and experienced player, please consider applying to our server - we promise your stay will be worthwhile!
STONEGATE SPECS:
-IP: 198.12.116.228:9000
-FtB, Direwolf20 mod pack, kept updated.
-6 GB RAM
-6 core 3.47ghz
-120 slots open
-North American location
-Difficulty Hard
ADDED PLUGINS:
-Forge Essentials
REMOVED ITEMS:
-Writing Desk and all age creating items
-Industrial diamonds / credits (explained later)
RULES:
Stonegate strives to be a mature server and does not tolerate any form of griefing or trolling that in any way bothers the enjoyment of other players.
The following rules are strictly enforced by in game punishments or kick/ban, depending on the severity of the offense.
-No griefing. Ever!
-No trolling. (Yes, we joke around at times but not to the point of irritation)
-No trespassing (IRL common sense works here. You wouldn't walk around in your neighbors yard for no reason).
-No opening doors, chests, gates, etc. that aren't yours or made clear to you beforehand that they are allowed to be used by you. (Again, treat this like IRL stealing/breaking and entering).
-No Quarries in the primary world unless by Op permission. We have a dedicated mining world for quarries, turtles and frame quarries.
-No exploration across the oceans (the world is big enough and there's nothing out there anyway, except for lag)
*Restricted Items
(These are craftable but require a permit to use legally):
-Quantum Helmet, Quantum Chest, Quantum Legs, Gravi suit, Vajra
*Prohibited Items
(These are still craftable but if you're caught using them by an Op, they'll be removed and you'll be punished appropriately. Therefore, use them in the comfort of your own home or with Op Permission):
-Mining Laser, Nukes (not reactors), Quantum Boots (This reduces the invincibility of the quantum suit)
Item config options:
-Nuke explosions reduced to 10 (from 30 IIRC)
-Nuclear Reactor explosions reduced to 15 (from 45 IIRC)
-Sentry Turrets do not target players and have had their damage increased from 2-3
-Blocks breakers will not break warded stone
-Everyone gets 1 /home 1 waypoint.
-World Anchors are limited to 25 chunks per loader and each player is limited to 100 chunks. (This can be modified on request)
Server Play Guidelines/Rules:
Rules:
-Do not build within 1000m of spawn. It's meant to be a natural point to spawn into the world.
-Do not build within 1000m of the city of Stonegate, unless building a residence or other Stonegate building.
Guidlines:
The goal of Stonegate is to build a fully functional city with all the bells and whistles. It's 100% legitimate in ALL constructions, which includes civic buildings. No personal use items are ever allowed to be spawned in.
It is preferred that everyone contribute in at least some small way to the growth of the city. This could be as little as building their home in the city limits or all the way up to building a massive arena or factory for civic use.
That being said, there is nothing stopping anyone from venturing out on their own to set up a rival or allied city-state.
However, we do try to keep the world as "natural" feeling as possible to preserve authenticity. Please keep this in mind.
Regarding PvP:
PvP is allowed but common sense dictates that people don't kill on sight or for no reason whatsoever.
It is a general rule that whenever you kill someone that you return their equipment in full. The only exception to this is in arena battles or other events where it is understood beforehand that you are allowed to loot.
If you kill other players without a previous understanding and do not return their lost items, you'll be considered a murderer and punished appropriately.
Final Notes:
Some of this may seem harsh or heavily restrictive but it is mostly a guideline for fostering a friendly and cooperative environment for mutual progress and enjoyment of the FtB world.
Our end goal, if there is such a thing, is to create a large city for us all to live in and increase the popularity of the server in general.
The server has been active for about 3 weeks continuously so the map is still fresh in most areas.
We are using a system of Industrial credits and diamonds on a tungsten based economy for our currency system. This may change as more plugins become available.
We currently have around 14 whitelisted members with perhaps 1-6 playing at any given time.
All are friendly and the Op's are always helpful. Everyone shows respect and we're looking to invite new, mature, building inclined (be it machines or structures) players to our ranks.
