Suggestion Region Height Limit

[Thoth]

When I think of a 'city' I think of tall buildings packed together, when regions are limited to 127 (practically 63 above sea level) I have no way of making those tall buildings I imagined with a map height increase.

My suggestion is to scale the height limit just as you scale the width and length. Something like hamlets going up to 127, towns going to 150, Cities going to 200, etc.

This would enable players to actually use the increased map height for building and keep their creations inside regions.

Honestly, I'd rather just see sky high regions. All I can picture right now is a 200 tall dirt pillar, and a long dirt bridge to get "over" the regions and parachute into a town. BS.

This is what I've been worried about for Lightforge, we have no roof, with limited regions anyone could just tower over our regions and handily drop down in, even into houses open from the top. And the solution, adding a roof, just wouldn't fit with our Skyforge theme.

Try not to give them things to break their fall. Some clever worldguarding on the admins part could also help with the paratrooper issue, but that's only a temporary solution. Problems like this need to solved in an automated plugin form.

I'd have to agree that a city should be higher then a town. just compare the world's cities to hamlets and towns. whats a city without giant structures.

 

[Faunherer]

Not all towns are ground based and quite a few are floating. Take Fumo for example: we couldn't build most of the stuff as we planned due to the old sky limit. There's no reason why it shouldn't be full bedrock to sky limit regions, because if it isn't it only leaves room for abuse.

 

[WoleverEntun]

Even now, with movable regions, it can be abused against towns with no roofs, I think we should introduce sky high regions, 0-256. Or, if you have a town that extends all the way up, part of it isn't regioned.
EDIT: T'is a bump

This ^ is happening, and it could be solved by bedrcok to height limit regions. @xexorian Sorry for using your architect app picture.

 

[xexorian]

It's cool.

Precisely what happened to us in nevermore the day after the change.

I totally would agree with sky high regions. You try building a 100 high statue and then building the town on top. It doesn't work very well at all. Considering the regions go from 2 blocks under the statue to 30ish blocks above the statue, the tall and magnificent buildings planned out had to be completely ignored!

 

[JDFinal]

Not having bedrock to sky regions is just a massive pain.

So much good would come from bringing the larger regions back. It would allow for more creativity and more impressive looking towns.

 

[Galaxial]

It seemed pretty simple for my town - while the statue and lower levels may look lovely, the whole functionality and productivity (in terms of actually using our town space) is completely ruined by the regions. The ability for a higher overcity/undercity would grant so much more to the functionality towns, and would make them worthwhile in the long term.

We haven't officially announced the Y=limit....

I think something like this would be nifty.

Y=150 - hamlet
Y=175 - town
Y=200 - city
Y=225 - capital
Y=250 - kingdom

However, HeroTowns will have Y=max - when it creates the region protection.

 

[Galaxial]

That's more like it!
It's a shame about the total cost of Kingdoms though - I don't think we'll see any this map! But that's the challenge and point of it being hard to get considering the benefits... right?

Precisely why I would like dirt/cobble bridges and pillars to be a 100%, no tolerance, permanent ban! It's as much griefing as anything else.

What exactly do you mean by this?

Yea, Lorien needs a bigger tree, right @MrPapodopolus ?

if i dont have to build it, yes lorien needs a bigger tree

Does that mean that all the towns in the official Kingdom will have 250 high region?
