This is the first draft and HP values will change based on your feedback. We have increased the requirements of C4 so it's not a common item to craft. Building a base now using concrete and metal doors outside will make it indestructable from the outside to melee damage, the only way to get in now is when you leave the doors open or when they have a minimum of 2 C4s - which is not a ticket for base raiding unless you building only a 1-layer defense. Also attackers have to be carefull using C4 as they can destroy possible loot-containing items, so it's not smart to place it everywhere.
Changes:
- Fine-tuned stone spawning.
- Fixed a bug that allowed sky-platforms again. All platforms not having ground are getting deleted.
- Oil fields now despawn when depleted.
- Admins can now send admin messages to the running game using the Web-Interface of smartFox. (Activate the web-server in your configuration)
- The oil-tower will now despawn when the resources are depleted and no oil is left in it's inventory.
- C4 is in-game now, doing 8000 HP of damage to all structures in a 10m area.
- Added the Metal Gates, 22000 HP, explosive. needs 30 iron ingots to be crafted.
- Concrete Wall now needs 26 stone.
- New C4 requirements : 2 Copper Ingot, 4 Metal Wire, 4 Sulfur, 4 Coal, 2 Beryllium Ingot, 2 Gold Ingot, 6 Oil.
- New Hitpoints for all structures to balance C4 and melee damage. (See below)
- Rockets are temporarily disabled until we introduce the rocket launcher.

We are placing Oil fields now manually every 2 days in the game until we have the algorithm ready. Server admins can now do the same. Login to your server using the chatwindow with /admin and enter /spawnoil. An Oil field will spawn infront of you.
Because of the changes above we are very sorry to inform you that we have to wipe the official server again. Main reasons are the introduction of metal gates, C4, concrete walls only taking explosive damage, floating platforms (bug), existing C4 in the game (some people had gathered already a lot of oil), pre-patch requirements of C4. So as you can see there is really now way to avoid it this time. We know we promised you not to do wipes anymore but with the broken mechanics and bugs we rather give you a fresh start again. So again, we feel truely sorry about this.
It would be great if some of the PvE community members could try out the new version on the official server as we are very interested in seeing how the balance between PvP & PvE is now.
Tomorrow we will gather all information from the forums and count your votes for the upcoming coding-event. If you like we can maybe also do some sessions on twitch where you can watch and comment on the development.
