Hi guys

After the server restarted last night, I was not able to get back on-line. I assigned a 20x20 lot using 3 brick high dirt blocks just next to the fire thing by the new spawn. Is it still there OK? I'd like to turn it into a public service building of course.

The current idea is a dispensary for new comers/newly died. It currently has a dispenser just inside the door as a quick test.

An example can be found in this video by Ethos.

You can do what you want aslong as it's a public build and you look after it, abandonded builds will (over time) be removed to make room for new builds (and a dispensary seems ok).

Cacti farm lag the server, so it would be best to keep those as far away from spawn as possible.

Didnt mean to vote catus
I vote for dispensary

i vote for a tree farm

Tree farm would take about 15 mins to lay down...if there's a plot down there next time I'm on, there'll be one for about 10 trees. Job done. Maybe I can do both on the same plot?! Ahh lovely lovely. New comers can punch a tree to get their tools started, then dispense some food, dispense some torches then be on thier way I could have it as the new comer stop for the whole server?!

as good as this sounds, it will never work like you intend to. a more realistic scenario would be:
newcomer1 runs straight past it and still begs for resources
newcomer2 bothers to read sign and walks in, takes ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING and leaves.
newcomer3 and 4 come in, see empty chests and dispensers and think this is an abandoned place.

i'm just sayin...

Hey Dave, I say you do the dispensery! It is a great idea. I would love to help.....contact me in game if u need any help at all or PM me!

there already is a tree farm not too far from spawn, and I personally think a ton of trees planted in a small area will not look very pleasing to the eye.. Keep in mind that we'd like to have the spawn look as clean as possible.

No, 404, that is exactly my fear. I think I may need to just build the basic exterior wall all fancy, like, then wait for Broonie's eco-system mod to come into play then use the in-game parameters to create something useful and not be abused...
