AFK Auto Kick
This has always been one of our least popular policies. I will admit it has not been an effective economy balancing tool as was intended. As such, we have disabled the auto afk kick timer. You can now AFK indefinitely on all servers. Staff will also not manually kick people for AFK farming. Using ALT accounts for AFK farming is also fine.
Redstone & Other Automation
Our policy on redstone and other forms of automation has been a bit ambiguous and the cause of some recent strife. Moving forward, we're going to try and adopt an allow almost-all policy;
- Duplication machines and exploits are still not allowed
- Lag machines - the primary purpose of the machine is to cause lag - are not allowed
- Anything else will be allowed so long as
- We do not see significant server lag or crashes from your machine.
- The machine is used responsibly. IE; don't send flying machines off arbitrarily or into other people's stuff. IE; If their are a lot of people on, consider turning off your machine(s) if you notice things start to lag.
If you've built a machine that we find to be in violation of one of those conditions, a staff member will kindly ask you to remove it. Don't worry if it was an accident or an experiment. Those sorts of things won't count as a warning or lead to a tempban unless it looks like your intent was malicious or exploitative.
Please note that this means we will not make general rulings on certain types of machines. IE; someone else having a flying machine does not entitle you to a flying machine. Their design may be more efficient, smaller, and or they may be using it more responsibly. If you have any questions about what this means, please make use of our new #questions channel in Discord or post on the forums. If you're asking something like "is this machine ok?" we'll do our best to make an assessment, but it's hard to know the impact of a machine w/ out building it.
