Exclusion Zones

§0EXCLUSION ZONES§0 §0AND YOU§0 §0 §0A PSA

Greeting fellow stalker, as you know, as of 6/5/15, exclusion zones have popped up all over CivCraft. You may be asking yourself; "Why is this, tovarish?" Well sit down on uncle Strelok's lap, and I'll tell you the story.

In a plugin called AFKmod, the one that kicks you for standing still and being a lazy ass, there is a feature that was never active until now. This particular feature bans a stalker for being in a low-tps zone, or as we call it, an "exclusion zone."

These bans vary in time from mere minutes to hours. It also doesn't matter what you are doing. These bans can strike at anytime, it doesn't matter whether you are carrying pearls, transporting artifacts, or slavsquatting.

These exclusion zones are located around areas with a large amount of entities, such as autofarms, furnaceland, and redstone contraptions. Other areas, such as gold farms, cities, factory rooms, populated areas, railways, and megafarms cause TPS drops.

For example, a Chanadian exclusion zone is Akiharabara, now renamed to Fukushima. A large automated pumpkin farm is located in the city, and no one can get close enough to shut it off.

Type /tps to check your TPS. This is your geiger counter. §0 §0Above 12 is excellent, 10-12 is good, 6-10 is bad, and below 6 is BLOWOUT SOON FELLOW STALKER. If you drop below 6, run.

Items that cause TPS drops are item frames, the items in frames, furnaces, minecarts, boats, horses, doors, chests, signs, hoppers, and dropped items. Animals and hostile mobs also contribute to low TPS. Do your best to avoid these places, and be wary.

Harvesting a farm raises the TPS, while planting seedlings will lower the TPS. Good luck, and happy hunting, fellow stalker.
