Hello!

I am trying to figure out if something is weird with my particular server, or if this is just something intrinsic in the game code that makes my server take over 30 minutes, sometimes an hour, to come back online. It will do this whether its a server crash or a scheduled restart, seems like a pretty long time for it to go back up! I want to find out if this is atypical and/or if something is wrong and needs fixing.

The server provider is Blackbox, which apparently is the official provider, so it should be tuned for the game. I am NOT the admin, just a curious villager of the server Thanks for your responses and time!

Feel free to make a post too and share any information on why the servers stay down so long. Also, anyone else get really long client-side load times?

It takes a good while to go through the load of database and grow the trees and such. Greater than 30 min is fairly normal restart from what I have heard and observed.

my server needs around 25min for a restart,
starting procedure for 2min, then stopping at "Load AI" file, hanging around there for 20min and doing nothing (maybe doing stuff in background) , then server go ahead with reading files for next 3 min and starting ...

Our server is about 1 month old and (un)scheduled restarts take about 5 minutes. So pretty good

We're doing several things to keep server load times to a minumum, i.e. no tunneling except for skilling up mining.

Yeah Monkey, we may have a wipe on our hands soon. Since our rules don't allow for infinite piles it's just a matter of time before it gets bad with everyone tunneling for ore.

Meh, I think we can hold on really. If we just cleaned up a lot of the abandoned camps that sprouted up when we were capping out at 40/40 each night, I think it could reduce a lot of load. Sucks there was such a surge and then exodus. *COUGH COUGH*

=P lol naw, I really hope you guys don't jump ship form the server. More fun is to come!

And keep those poll results coming in guys!

6 minutes, 15 seconds, with server on same physical drive as system & 4GB 800 MHz CL9

Fill_volumes_world_map_calc_time 0
Fill_items_set 0.546
PassabilityWorldMap 58.812

That is with a ~100 cell main tunnel and ~1,000 cells of paved server lines
