[0.5] DF - Grid Protection System

This mod causes crashes in the latest versions of the game.

Try the following variations:
PVP Mode: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1122457285
PVE Mode: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1122459296

This mod doesn't seem to play well with the most recent update. Each time I use it all houses dissapear and new ones cannot be created.

I think if this was fed by materials like a tax, that would solve online and offline. As long as you feed it Largestone or IronOre your grid protected. Make it real expensive to do so. Your basically paying for a royal protection. You run out of material, you lose your grid.

I agree with Androox "war declaration" idea

LOL @Androox, I posted same thing on other forum, have some sort of war declaration.

btw a player of both factions need to be online to declare war (edit of previous message)

Just like Zaero said but when the player go offline it take 15-30 mins for the protection to enable so ppl cant abuse it by going offline during wartime.

Also, we can do something good with 'war declaration' system, like, to damage blocks of another faction you must be in war with them, all factionless players are not protected by not beign in a faction eighter so they will have to make one if they want to play multiplayer online.
War declaration can activate a timer in wich both faction structures are vulnerable to damages untill the end of the timer, then the war end.

If we can mix this war declaration system with offline protection system, there is the solution.

as an option for a server go for it... i wouldnt mind having one server kind of protected like this, there would be many other servers for more raiding that do not have this enabled. its not a pvp welcome thing, but like i posted about weapon protection -- the ratio of destroy v. build time keeps me away from ME. if someone spends 50 hours building why is it fun for them to have it all destroyed in 10 minutes like it is now? let a server have this option and its more clear to assist builders and more RPG worlds. personally and when ME is finished i am going to host a whitelist server the whole way > we can only manage the strangers whom join our worlds so much. we need the challenge to our defenses but we dont want destruction to be some quick cheap manipulation of the game thing (like tossing 100 timbers into a moat to cross it and hack with a sword at your stone block-- its doable in the game, but weakens the game).

this seems like its not going to fix the problem, and will surely cause a few more. nice try at a short-term fix, but def not the end game solution.

You guys seen the Security Beacon mod for SE?
It renders blocks invulnerable when:
1) Player is offline
2) Player is x distance away
I think claim blocks should become a security beacon, they already despawn when taxes aren't paid.
