S2 logged in, and did this bit about not speaking English well. Asked if there was a server wipe. I said "Not that I know of"
I blew a bunch of grenades on his top level door, and there was nothing there. 
Don't try placing grenades in the dark. Bring replacement stairs, and bring medkits.
I'm all out of gun powder now.

Steam update triggered and oxide plug-in updates installed.
We've finally stopped throwing lua errors all over the log file. Yay!

They fixed that weird ghosting error on the map at Civ mountain, so that's good.
Found my first (totally useless) lockpick from a bear today.

As one would.

Are lockpicks worthless? I thought backpacks locked for some period of time after you killed someone?

It has to be turned on server side. So it's an optional feature for now. The lockpick mentions that it will eventually be used on doors in the sub text.

Removed "New Player"-like loot from the "zombies". Replaced it with something more appropriate to the current version.

The P250 with silencer + flashlight + laser sight is my new favorite weapon.
It shoots fast
It's quiet
The red dot means not having to right-click to aim
The flashlight allows you to run in the dark

Yup, this is my fav too without the laser.

I love the laser. Just turn it off when you don't want it, but not having to aim in a firefight seems important to me.

I like it on the Mp5 and shotgun, for sure. Just never seemed useful on the pistol for whatever reason.

Seemed pretty useful to me when being chased by red zombies/bears.
I think S2/BuzzLightyear quit. Saw Buzz login and logoff. Who was their 3rd?
Maybe I should have left some of their crap behind.

Yes, I did. Murdered two people, and took their 3/4 kevlar suits. Immediately destroyed their sleeping bag/beds too in case they logged back in.
I'm off to a funeral Mon-Wed, so not sure if I'll be on much. And, crappy hotel internet. Saving metal for the real house. But please don't make it too far away from the zombies and stuff. Who knows when the server will get wiped again.

That's Catt's.
Are you sure? None of the doors respond to the usual code.
I might need to blow it open to check.

Eh, maybe you're right about the house. Since the biggest threat is gone, I'll work on the "Come get us" house first, and then build our secret backup base later.
By the way, Fox is doing something interesting in Hacker Valley. (Or it's TPR)
Anyway, he's building a foundation and a single pillar in various spots. I'm not sure what he's up to, but I'm very interested.

Not me, all my construction is down in Ecko Valley.

Christ people, post coordinates. All our house coords should be in the pinned thread, so it's very easy to see where ours are.

I can build the metal house as soon as you guys give me feedback.
What kind of footprint do you want? 3x3? A non-square one? How tall? Do we want spike barricades and a wooden gate on the outside to give us a court yard? Do we want an internal court yard?
Because it's all metal, we can have a decent looking structure and not some stupid monstrosity with doors on every surface. (They REALLY need to fix house security.) It'll take someone just as much C4 to blow apart our walls as a wooden door frame and metal door.
Do we want mazes of doors internally? Or do we want something that just looks imposing?
Keep in mind that every stairwell will have two doors. So if it was a 5 story structure, invaders would have to blast through 9 things to gain full access (that's 18 bars of C4). Do we need more security? Does every square have to be it's own room?
Here's my only thoughts:
-The first floor should be our gathering spot, and a place with designated drop off and pick up areas for resources and equipment.
-One floor should be for crafting. Chests, workbenches, furnaces, and camp fires everywhere.
-Everyone gets their own floor. They are in charge of designing, building, and equipping their own floor.
Thoughts?

Server is down again. Just says "ConnectionFailed" in the console.

Everything looks fine on the admin side of the server, but I did a restart to see if that will help.
Memory usage was a bit high at 20%. Could be the new patch included a memory leak that is making some problems. Back down to 4% after the restart.
EDIT: That worked. Looks like there was no activity on the server from about 7AM to now. If it happens again I'll put in a cron job to restart the server in the wee hours of the morning automatically.
EDIT2: I went ahead and did that. Every other night at 4AM it will restart unless there are players on, in which case it will do it as soon as everyone has logged out. Couldn't hurt. It means sleepers will all disappear every two days, but that's a minor thing.
