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

you can’t just smash together a stone pick and infinitely and quickly tunnel to the core by yourself

Yeah you would either starve, freeze or die of heat before reaching that.

@rdr

May i have some historical documents depicting this?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.

This was one of the things I watched on German TV a few years ago when I still watched TV. Might have been a translated Version of a National Geographic Episode on the Siege of some Castle in a Desert on a steep Mountain, where Rams and Catapults were just not working at all.

The closest I found in my search was a Statement that Roman Legionaries eroded the Basement of the enemy Walls with their Pickaxes, which pretty much is describing what I saw on TV too. I just dont like linking to Google Books because that Website is broken as fuck.

Also if you can break out natural Rock with a Pickaxe, you sure as fuck can do the same to Bricks. It is not THAT hard.

And ofcourse starving them out was the easiest way, that way you dont really lose anything.

@rdr

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

You are insanely optimistic that you can get 100+ people to play on the same Server. That is quite a rare thing to happen in most Minecraft alike Games.

@rdr

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.

You can’t really do that, some people will always somehow find your Base for whatever reason, even if you are 100 kilometers out in the middle of nowhere, they will likely find you for one stupid reason or another.

Also always remember, you can just disable Chunk claiming if you really think your Idea works. Not like I need to do anything to make your thing work since your thing is “don’t do anything special”.

@exylic

If the game and server performs well enough to allow such a scale of people (I doubt it honestly)

It should be able to support such a scale of people, though I don’t expect a large enough Playerbase for this to ever really be used. And I plan on making Server Clusters possible, like having a dozen Raspberry Pis work as one Server or similar. Though I will likely make it one Pi per “Region” of the Server. The first Style of Worlds being Islands where each Island would be one Region.

@exylic

it’s likely the initial foci will be on individualistic, npc-command gameplay, with maybe a few communal player allies in your domain, and distant neutral or guarded competitor players, as has been the precedent in many other sandbox games

Initial Focus is essentially making a Minecraft Clone, but with the Game Mechanics like Crafting, Tools and Food being replaced with my own mostly procedurally generated System. And the very very initial Focus is getting Creative Mode to work first, and adding Survival after that.
