I genuinely had high hopes for this plugin when I purchased it. This was one of the first plugins that was updated to work with the electric furnaces that I was able to find available for purchase. However, upon installing this plugin live on my main server, I quickly became aware of multiple issues within the plugin that made it unusable on my server. I have opened tickets for two of the items, but gave up attempting further inquiries as after my initial conversation with the developer, they have been quite slow to respond. So why am I giving this a 2-star review. The first main issue I noticed is the config file is incredibly sensitive and quite limited when attempting to manipulate the fuel consumption of this plug. The current format of this plugin would indicate that if you attempt to lower the fuel consumption below 10, it will completely reset all changes to the config file. This problem became quite annoying when attempting to set up more than one line on the config file, as you will lose all data which was changed. So you might be asking yourself why lowering the fuel consumption would be important... This was a change I was attempting to make as the fuel consumed when using Furnace Splitter and Quick Smelt, the fuel consumed would be about half of what was indicated as being needed. However, with this plugin and Furnace Splitter the fuel listed as being needed would run out before the ore was processed, and it was showing about half of what was required to process the ore. This quickly became quite annoying to the players on my server. The second main issue I noticed within this plugin is the charcoal produced for players on the server would vary significantly. When setting the config file to give 1 charcoal for every 10 fuel consumed with a 75% chance at charcoal, about half of the players on the server would see a 1.1 to 1.3 fuel:charcoal ratio. However, the rest of the players were split between having either the large or normal furnace produce the rates mentioned previously, but the other sources would be a 10:1 fuel to charcoal ratio, or they had the 10:1 fuel to charcoal ratio as the config file would indicate should happen. So once again, why is this a problem? Well for roughly half of the server if I have the config file set to a 10:8 fuel to charcoal ration at a 75% chance which would be what should be expected in general, they would be receiving an INSANE amount of charcoal. I was personally seeing a 1 to 20 fuel to charcoal ratio, with the 10:8 setting at 75%. As I allow players to sell unused resources for server points, that bug would have broken the economy of my server by leaving it in place at the required rate so that all players should receive 8 charcoal for 10 wood consumed. I gave this plugin a 2-star review as 2.5 was not available. The fact that the electric furnaces worked and could be sped up means to me that it is worth at minimum 2.5 stars. But as there are far too many bugs with this plugin that have yet to be resolved, I have had to remove this plugin entirely from my server. I would suggest checking if this plugin will be impacted by others before installing it on your server. Also, you will need patience if you send in a support ticket. Edit for Author response: If the charcoal output is adjusted so that everyone on the server is getting results similar to the CFG setup, I will increase the rating 1 star. If the fuel consumption can be tweaked by the server admin, I will increase the rating 1 additional star. Ultimately, I am not sure as though I will be able to give this plugin a 5-star review for a few reasons. The main issue I have with the limited function of the CFG file is... Why have items which can be changed that result in the entire CFG file being rewritten as a default CFG? I had to enter the information into the CFG a few times before I realized which field was causing the entire CFG to be rewritten. That is the "limits" of the CFG, not functions which can be changed. I was quite specific in the "Quote" you wrote there as to what I meant. I am not sure what the fuel consumption rates would have had with limiting the plugin/cfg would have caused a server to stall, as it is a value that will be called regardless to consume fuel... As I wrote in the edited response, I will increase my rating of this plugin if it becomes functional from my perspective as a server admin. Fortunately for me at the moment, there is a version of Quick Smelt that works with Electric Furnaces, so I have just switched back to the original plugin my server was using. Charcoal produced appears to be close to default for most / all players potentially so I increased the rating 1 star as I stated I would.

Howdy Kasvoton, You are absolutely correct with the Quick Smelt plugin. It would often consume about half of the "required" fuel. I only ask this question as I am sure there will be someone on my server who complains about the fuel rates, and I figured I would get a step ahead of any potential questions from my players. I am sorry for opening a support ticket for this instance as well. I wasn't sure which of the two options would be best for this issue. Thanks for such a prompt response.

Is it possible to change the fuel consumption rates? This plugin seems to use fuel much faster than my last plugin (Quick Smelt). I have adjusted the numbers to 2 fuel per tick and it keeps reverting back to 10 fuel per tick no matter what I do. It does not appear to want to allow me to set the fuel stack size any lower than 10 per and this is causing the furnace to use up the wood before the ore is cooked in either the furnace, large furnace or refinery.

Indeed you are, you click on the item you are wanting to sell and a rotate icon will appear in the top right of the picture which allows you to switch it from buy to sell. It is confusing to some players on my server, but they adjusted pretty quickly.

NVM I read the recent update notice and it answered my question

Howdy Nivex, I recently noticed this null reference exception in the RCON on one of my servers. I am not sure if this is of any importance or not, but I figured I would let you know.

I can confirm that the updated version still shows as version 1.31.16 when loaded onto the server

Mine loaded properly. I would check oxide and such

Is there a way to increase the # of digits which show up on the price in the UI? The reason I ask this question is currency is fairly easy to come by on my higher gather rate servers and I have the prices for the steps set to 1 mill, 2.5 mill, 5 mill, and a 4th level at 10 mill for most skills that are in use on my server. The prices are currently limited to 5 digits so they are not completely accurate. A second question I have is, is there a way to turn off notifications when someone purchases a skill? This became a flood of messages when initially installed on the server and I could see it becoming annoying for some of my players. Thanks in advance. Tim

I have raid islands on my map. Which I uses as custom spawn points that I define with the Spawns Database plugin. This has allowed the game to identify sufficient spawn points on the map for the bases to spawn at. If you do not have specified areas for the bases at the moment, you could perhaps set aside areas where building isn't allowed and adjust the diameter of the raid bubble to fit into these areas. You would then have to potentially use a plugin like I mentioned to define the file name and where this file tells the raidable bases plugin to spawn them. Not sure if it will help or not, but the custom spawn points has kept the plugin working on my servers up to this point.

The description page could have a little extra information added to it, which would assist players in utilizing this monument properly. However, the monument and puzzles are intuitive enough that they are not impossible and they pose a challenge for most players. These are very welcomed traits in a custom monument. The players on my server enjoyed this monument last wipe and I am sure they will continue to enjoy it.

not likely relevant so I removed it

Is there a way to sell items in the shop to only a specified group of players? I have a new item (skinbox spraycan) that I want to sell to only VIP members as the skinbox plugin is one of the VIP perks. I am not 100% sure on how to do this, but I do not want to sell it to everyone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tim

In the data section of the Raidable Bases files there is the Profiles folder. Inside the profiles folder you will have to edit one line on each of the easy, medium, hard, expert and nightmare json so that this setting is true. The name of this line is listed below. "Enable CopyPaste Stability Option (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - POTENTIAL SERVER CRASH)": true, That is the line from my server JSON which allows stability in my raid bases. If you have it listed as false the server will turn off stability in the raid base bubbles. I have found that this option has been relatively stable (even with the warning). Since I turned this back on, I have not had any server crashes as a result of changing this option back on for my server. I hope this helps out. Tim
