Anti Cheat, Wallhacks, X-Ray and the Balance of Cannibalism

pickaxing it open was one of them

May i have some historical documents depicting this? Because castles were practically unbreakable, and main way to take castle was to just starve defenders out.

@Gregorius

And the reason I say that it needs to take ages to work is pure consequence of making it harvestable by the Enemy. If the Enemy can just harvest it as fast as the Builder can, the Wall will be open very quickly.

Enough defenders of the castle (which is possible on 100+ people server)→enemy is not able to break in.

@Gregorius

but what if you aren’t home or if you dont notice it in time

As i said, if you are living alone you get as far from any communications as you can, and if you have a gang then you are able to defend your base at all times.

@Gregorius

There needs to be a mechanic where Enemies have 1000 times slower Building/Breaking Speed when you claim a Chunk, in order for your Vision to ever work, you are aware of that, right?

No.

@Gregorius

Because if it is not biased in ANY way at all, it will lead to the Enemy just running into your Base and wrecking your shit no matter what, and then you will end up with “nobody is allowed to know where my Base is, or else everything gets stolen!”, which is absolutely not fun at all.

It is fun enough, because this gives the game a taste of human interaction: you give out your base to stranger→you get your boipussy rekt. And this also gives sense to exploration.
