Skyfactory 3 server full wipe

[ViperBites]

So here goes. As many of you who have played skyfactory lately have realized the lag on Skyfactory 3 has been ridiculous. Through playing the server I have realized that during non peak times where alot of the newer players are on the server lag is not great but it doesn't reset every 3 minutes. However once the regular players get on the have end game level bases the server tps drops and resets are as frequent as once every minute. The lag is killing the server. Players don't want to play on a laggy server. This is the main reason I believe its time for a Skyfactory 3 server wipe. From what I heard the last one was November. I don't know if this is true or not but that means its been 8 months since the last wipe. I understand that server wipes upset players but they will quickly get over it when the lag is manageable again  Thank you for reading who ever has. Feel free to add on to this post if you can think of any other reasons why we should wipe skyfactory 3 and start fresh. @brunyman

Yeah i agree with you Viper, The server does get okay every now and again for a hour or 2 when there are only new players online and like 1 end game player, I do think that it needs a wipe aswell because the lag has been getting worse over the last few week.

Hi, server was first open in November, thats 8 months ago, however we usually never wipe skyfactory servers as issues are isolated on players islands so i'm not sure about wipe, i would like to get more reply's here first about this idea

Fair enough

[CoolGuy]

I agree with this but the server already lagged when it was first up.

[NepaliLegend]

We would like it to wipe skyfactory 3

Wipe it

[FreeFallFTW]

Well if we don't wipe it,the lag's just gonna get worse and worse to the point where it'll be unplayable.If there will be a wipe it should be now

[Ace0fFace]

So I'm new, and I like SkyFactory having played in the past else where. But I gotta say, if the server restarts every three seconds like it does now, then I'd just as soon go play on some other server. :/

I support the Idea since I don't exactly play it anymore, and I would definitely not play it if there was a server restart every minute.

 

Though it's still extremely annoying to see my island go.

Wipe

A wipe will take care of the TPS issues for 1-2 months but it'll lag again soon in the future as players would've reach end-game bases with inefficient setups. We can do a few lagfixes in the WIPE stages but there's not a lot brunyman can do to fix it. We'll see what we can do. Let's do a wipe

May i suggest adding some kind of clear lag if possiable. With any kind of skyblock mob drobs and items become an issue. This might help the tps tremendosly

 

[TaraBites]

Please wipe it. Can a poll be added to this?

[brunyman]

Is the lag still so bad? I did more patches, however there are still some big tps drops sometimes to 2tps and that triggers the auto restart

The lag is still pretty bad at times. 

[brunyman]

I still don't think a WIPE now is a good solution as players will build other big bases fast again and the issue will be back, the server runs ok most of the time but some bases are laggy

[villjo]

I think a wipe is good for two reasons. it will decrease lag for a bit atleast and also because it will bring more people to play because many just quit after achieving most end game items. 

[GarnetBelial]

I would be very unhappy if I had to restart my island. If bases are causing issues, deal with those bases and implement a clear lag of some sort to remove items.

 

If the lag persists with these steps taken, revisit the issue.

Is there a way to mass-wipe in-active player bases. (I know if a chunk isn't loaded it doesn't affect the server) However players seemingly teleport to others bases to grab ideas etc therefore loading chunks that otherwise wouldn't necessarily be loaded. Is there a way to get a mass populated list and kill all those islands?
