How to (safely) use Compact Machines [SF4]


Recommended Posts

Well if you are here it's either because it's your first time using a Compact Machine (I'll be calling them CMs from now on so that the post will be easier to read) or because you've already used one of them and got deleted/ has random barrier blocks inside them.

These problems happen quite often and so I'll explain why they happen and how to prevent them from happening on your next CM.

So CM work by creating a room in another dimension and by connecting that room to your CM block. The first time you place the block it'll say it's Unused.

And once you use the Personal Shrinking Device on it the CM will get linked to one of the rooms and here are two possibilities. It makes a new room or it goes to an existing room, for the second option you'll either find someone else's stuff and you'll be able to use it if you want or, if that person had made a room of a different size you'll find some invisible walls where the old walls where supposed to be.

Here the solution is quite simple, if you fall into someone else's CM make another one.

Now if I can manage to get into someone else's CM why wouldn't they be able to join mine? The answer is that they can by default. How ever there's a small option in your CM that prevents that from happening.

When you right click your CM block with your empty hand a menu will pop up and at the left you'll find a tab called Whitelist, just go there and Lock everyone from joining your CM.

It would be easier if that was set by default but at least your CM is safe now that you know how it works. ;)
