LRRniverse - LRRcraft Starbound server
Posted: 26 Jan 2015, 00:45
For those who are tired of Minecraft & want to play a different game for a change of pace, I'm currently running of Starbound server on my computer for anybody who's interested in playing.
Server Address: sb.lrrcraft.com OR lrrcraft.servegame.com
Server Username: LRRcraft -- NOT REQUIRED!
Server Password: Dickbutt -- NOT REQUIRED!
Max Concurrent Players: 8
PENDING SHUTDOWN -- SEE IMPORTANT NOTES!
With the latest update (02/17/2015), server configurations are now running "Black / White Lists". "Guest Logins" are current enabled by default, so you are NOT REQUIRED to enter a specific username & password. HOWEVER, if this does change, the Username / Password listed above will be available for all (until abused).
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1) Due to lack of player traffic, the server will be shutdown on 04/10/2015 & the server address will be released a few days later. -- World files & server restoration will be available upon request.
2) Max Concurrent Players is subject to change based on demand & connection availability. If you're having problems getting on due to player load (too many people on), please contact me so I can make the necessary adjustments (which will require a server reboot to go into effect). All connection updates w/ my ISP have been fully completed so there should be minimal issues now.
3) Users who wish to register for a user ID for the server (in case guest logins get restricted), feel free to contact me with your desired Username & Server Password & I'll get it added.
Those who wish to have mod / admin rights (should a need ever arise) are REQUIRED to have their own login for access reasons (as these rights will remain restricted).
3) If there's any problems with the server or players, please contact me... either by forum PM or through Steam (DB Chat & other methods available as well). Please be aware responses will generally come between 12:00 AM & 4:00 AM Central time most days.
RULES:
Like I really need to mention these, the biggest ideal here is Wheaton's Rule: Don't Be a Dick! HOWEVER, as not everybody have the same codes of honor, I'll lay down a few ground rules.
1) Player's Ships are PRIVATE DOMAINS! -- Anything you place on your ship is 100% yours. Players joining your party may visit, but are not permitted to take anything off your ship WITHOUT your permission.
2) Any building near the landing point is considered PUBLIC PROPERTY-- This can be consider the "Landing Station" where players can craft stuff, getting food (available publicly on site, including a farm), get stuff that's left by others (blocks, seeds, ect.) & have some protection from the native wildlife & weather (which can be hazardous in some areas).
3) Please place any private buildings NO CLOSER THAN TWO SCREENS AWAY from the landing point -- This is mostly in-line with Rule 2. Any building with in ONE SCREEN of the landing zone may be considered the landing station & cause potential confusion.
If you wish to have a terrestrial base, please place it a bit away from the landing site to avoid confusion. Additionally, bases do need to have a "passthrough corridor" for players if you're building above ground so players can explore the planet. This is NOT REQUIRED for underground bases, but is recommended.
4) Players building bases will need to register their based on the LRRniverse Planetary Registry. -- While ships are 100% private (as that data is stored on YOUR computer), terrestrial bases are don't have that luxury & we (more importantly, myself) needs to know where the bases are located so they can be protected to some degree.
The Planetary Registry is available at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1niwdG_S6Q4RIA3lnsJAEHgcd0aLeI3yTUiURpZpH9Go/edit?usp=sharing
Please include the universal coordinates (sector, X, Y) & the game-name of the planet so it can be located within the game (NOTED IN RED). LRR Username, Character Name & "Point of Interest" are recommended. By registering the planet, you are laying claim to all buildings on said planet (except for the "Landing Stations").
Upbeat Giraffe NOTE: With the removal of Universal sectors, this field has been depreciated.
5) Please limit PERSONAL bases to ONE PER SECTOR 6 at one time. -- While planetary land grabs are all fun, it's a pain if one person snatches up a bunch in a sector.
Players are permitted to claim ONE PLANET for each sector of the universe (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, X... or 5 bases in total). If players wish to claim a second planet within a sector, they must release their claim on the first. All resources on the released base become free for all.
Upbeat Giraffe NOTE: Universe sectors have been removed for one unified universe... As a result, this rule has been updated to reflect this. The 6 base limit is currently a semi-arbitrary figure (originally using the universal sectors as the guideline), which may be re-worked.
I recommend players having bases that require ~500 fuel units OR MORE to travel between them to keep them a reasonable distance apart.
6) Please keep in-game chat clean & "family friendly". -- While you won't get into trouble for the occasional swear word, I do wish to keep a "family friendly" vibe on the servers because the age of potential players can vary greatly. If conversations start treading above "PG-13" content for a while... you probably should talk elsewhere.
"Think of the Hosklings" is a good rule of thumb here... if you wouldn't say it with them around, you might want to rephrase it.
NOTE: Conversations in-game are recorded in the server logs, so they can be reviewed after a player logs off... So don't think you can swear when nobody is around. However, bans will only occur if somebody complains.
7) No trolling other players & bases -- This is a standard rule... Don't tear down stuff others are building (unless it's by consent); Don't place blockades in front of doors & whatnot here. If it's going to give other players headaches, just don't do it!
Public bases (like the one may be modified by others as needed to suit needs.
Do I really have to spell it out here?
8) Please DON'T bother admin / staff for free stuff. -- This is a vanilla server, so you'll need to find / buy what you need to survive in-game. Therefore don't bother us for stuff that you really don't need.
The only POTENTIAL exception that will be made (at admin / staff's discretion) is ship fuel for travel.
NOTE: With "Upbeat Giraffe", inter-star system travel does not require any fuel to move between planets / moons. Fuel is only required when traveling between stars & is distance-based. Fuel can be purchased at The Outpost (available at the edge of each star system) @ 500 px / 20 units... So chances of this happening will be remote.
9) Game server may be temporarily shutdown with little notice -- While I will try to notify players when I'm temporarily shutting down the server (generally give about a 5-15 minutes heads up... assuming there's anybody on... I do check the running logs first), there will be some emergency cases when it may go down without warning...
Such cases will either be power-related (UPS alarm trips), system updates or hardware-related. Such shutdowns will usually be limited to a 24-hour period (48-hours at the most).
10) Advanced notice will be provided for longer-term shutdowns. -- If I need to shutdown the server for more than 24 hours in a non-emergency situation, I will try to provide notice here a few days ahead of time on what's going on & try to provide a date when the server will be back up.
11) Copy of the universe will be provided to anybody who's willing to take over hosting services, in the event of a permanent shutdown. -- In the highly unfortunate event that I must permanently take down the server, I will provide a copy of the game universe (in 7-zip format) to anybody who's willing to set up to take my place (even without a pending shutdown).
Other Notes:
Right now, Donations are not required to keep the server running. I'm running the server on my own computer & connection that I'm able to afford at this time (so please keep the complaints about possible lag to a minimum, I know things are a little crappy for the moment), so I won't ask player to donate anything. Those who are still willing to donate can contact me via Forum PM for Paypal donation information.
Any donations provided, unless specified for other means (within reason), will be utilized to improve the server... which can include improved connections speeds (aka "ISP Bribes") & hardware updates. If there's a large amount of donations, a dedicated server may be built.
