    I highly agree. Your characters don't know what happened, so why would you need to? Just have fun with it. Its SCIENCE FICTION! We don't need an explanation to get on and roleplay with a little, "Hey! What just happened?" "Were am I?"

    I think it's safe to say you've got what you're carrying with you, plus whatever is on your ship. So obviously, entire buildings and heavy equipment will be left behind.

    yea, I think we could work with it like that, because really everyone wont know what happened, they just would see a flash of light, and all of a sudden be somewhere they weren't before

    Well, they'd see it coming a bit before it reached them. (Unless they were indoors.)

    Would it be so slow moving that people would have time to purchase supplies and load them on there ship? Or is it a little faster then that?

    kaz says its slow
    [DOUBLEPOST=1439062493][/DOUBLEPOST]and I mean't by all of a sudden as in at a random time when they see that flash of light, it will then vanish, and they will be on a uninhabited planet. and at a random time could be weeks.. years even.. based on what kaz said

    Slow enough to prepare, but remember: your character wouldn't have any idea what this anomaly is or what it does.
    They wouldn't know what they're preparing for.

    This seems like quite an intresting idea ^^. Though I got a few questions myself (sorry if any are repeats just read through the entire thread, info blurs XD).
    1.So if I am understanding correctly OLD and NEW character can both reasonbly end up in this new system?
    2.Would previously allowed mods (such as the ship building mod) still be allowed?
    3.What is this ILC you have refered to? (im catching up on alot of post, been busy)

    1) Yep
    2) I'd have to test the ship building one... can't remember if it's safe.
    3) ILC stands for ILikeCheating, an item spawner mod that has been tangentially linked to issues with worlds freezing or crashing and thus has been banned from use because of it.

    We'll just have to build starter colonies out of wood and planks to begin with, rather than concrete jungles. That can come later after actual mining operations are set up.

    Glitch, Floran, Novakid and Avian architecture is all pretty basic anyway made from wood and stone. That's over half the races.

    Kaz, I would LOVE IT if you started the wipe sometime soon, because literately NO ONE has said anything bad about it, yet... but it may be because colony owners havent been on the forums today and yesterday, but still, it still is your choice of when we do it, if we do, and your choice is based off what everyone says.

    A lot of scripts need to be written, a lot of lore needs to be worked out, and all sorts of other goodies that will come with an in-game reset. It will probably be at the EARLIEST a few months, as of right now.

    Well, there is a LOT of code involved and a lot of work that needs done that the playerbase will be able to help with. It is definitely a large project. It can't happen in a night, we're basically redoing the server as it really should have been done when it started.

    Sounds like hunters, scavengers, and foragers really get the best out of this deal...

    You forget that traditional Hylotl architecture also involves wood and stone.

    I kinda skipped through an entire page of posts. Don't mind me if this was already mentioned, but...
    I saw that there was somebody asking for a way to prepare or shield against it. An anomaly by definition is something outside of standard expectations, varying from the usual.

    In short I don't think there should be a way to really prepare too much for it. Being a bright light it could be mistaken as a solar flare or something though.

    Yo, not sure if this is the place for it, but I've actually been using an alternative to ILC called the Spawnable Item Pack. It comes with two folders, one for items and an expansion for blocks (perhaps vice-versa). It doesn't have everything ILC has, but it's pretty decent! I'm not sure if it causes any problems, though. Also, as it's been said before, I really hope this happens soon, even though it looks like it won't for some time.
