The week of April 18th- April 23th i have been enjoying making money and progressing my island on the server but as of TODAY (April 24th) My mob Farm/grinder(My Source Of Income On The Server) no longer works and its not a broken design as its still the same as yesterday. So i would like to inquire about having hostile mob spawning turned back on, Otherwise I may just leave as you have took a vital part of my island progression. Thanks for reading this, Yours Faithfully Pizzaboy912
http://squadcraft.net/threads/dev-log-april-23.14197/ That explains what he did and why he did it. He only reduced the spawn rates because people had too many mobs spawning at once and it caused the server to lag. I had around 400 mobs within 10 minutes one time, so I had to completely turn off the spawner because it was causing lag.
I understand but most people have the mobs die of fall damage instantly causing hardly any lag except when items drop but again thats normally why we use hoppers at the bottom of the chute and now its took my rate of about 20 per 10 seconds to 0 per Indefinite amount of time.
I just tested something. I'm having normal spawn rates when I stand about thirty blocks away and when I'm almost level with the actual spawn platforms. Maybe you can try this and see if that fixes your problem.
