That's true, but most protected space should be put to some use, permitting a 50-100 block buffer.

Towns and chests protection.
- Thread starter Toiongo
- Start date
You think they'll just make a 4 wall building on outskirt of their towns for storage ? They'll make it inside a house, castle, or wherever, it won't be easy to bomb it without destroying parts of the structure, which would mean people will simply get accused of griefing for that. It won't be easier, it'll be impossible without getting banned.
Once again, do you think someone will be stupid enough to leave valuable stuff in them once the update comes ? Especially with update date being known to people.
The point is not to make it easy to steal. Simply that people in towns have to think a bit more than they did before. The thieves of the server like the update as does everyone else. Also you would be surprised, even atm lots of chests are placed around towns uncovered with valuables in. This will only increase with blocks on top not protecting the chests. I would also like to make the point that this is not going to be the only change that benefits thieves/getting into towns. It is just a start.
mop stop being like def and grow up. Toi made that post just over 2 hours before you did. No one was on during that time to respond.

I think mop was saying those points have been brought up and ignored in the past.

Asy's original system was kind of nice. The size of your protection was based on the number of columns in the chest you filled with cookies. To first fill a column you have to unlock it, and to unlock it you had to sacrifice a stack of cookies for every slot in that column. Basically, there was an additional fee for expansion.
Very minor change that might discourage people from taking as much land as possible.
If it were up to me, i'd use the system that I posted about earlier in this thread but it seems like a bit of a radical idea so the general thing that needs changing is the removal of systems by which players with any sort of mental ability can hide behind walls, put their items in building inside the city and then call to the admins about how so and so griefed their house with a cannon and stole their stuffCryptite said:
Limiting the distance of protection is a start. I've also been thinking it would be interesting if we could place redstone components like torches dust and pistons in protected areas.
Limiting distance isn't the solution, but its a part of one.
I like the idea of making town boundaries far more rigid. Maybe charge a town when it reduces its protection too, so they have to think more whether it is worth expanding because if they change their mind it will cost them to reduce the protection again. Instead of them simply unlocking the ability to protect anything up to a certain distance, what if the gen is charged whenever the radius changes and the greater the radius change, the greater the cost. This way towns wouldn't grow from a 50 rad protection to 300 over night. It would be a much more gradual process giving the impression the towns boundaries are much more fixed.
Puts a bandaid on the stab wounds of future problems, but does nothing for those that already exist.
