Title: Iron farms not allowed anymore?
Post by: CazualxGrenade on December 14, 2012, 05:09:46 am
From what I've heard, someone said that iron farms are not allowed anymore. Is itbecause of all the lag that's caused from them?

No not that I know of.  It is not against the rules since your using the game mechanics of the game.  Although the being the afk part is, since you aren't doing anything and making money, but wait for an admin.

Read the subject.

They're allowed, it's just that you'll be kicked if you have been afk in-game for so long.

Ah. So technically what you're saying, is people can have iron farms, as long as they don't afk there just to get iron? Can they be working on something and be near them? Sorry if this questions complicated lol.

A Iron farm is a farm that harvest iron from Iron Golems.

I don't see anything wrong with being afk and making money, if you put the effort in to build a farm.

I don't know which guy said it was a glitch, but iron golems spawning are 100% part of the game mechanics. Diverting them off using water? Yup, still game mechanics. Killing them? No change there.

So where does the glitch come in?

As long as you dont like sign in game and afk there while you sleep or something it's not a big deal. You can of course build something nearby, just don't afk there for too long.

I'm just wondering, how are you supposed to get one on Opticraft? I didn't see any villages when I was using the live map. Are they all taken?

Or you can find zombie villagers that spawn naturally with a rate of 10% , then cure them by using a splash potion of weakness and after that directly a regular golden apple that you can craft with golden nuggets , you need to find 2 zombie villagers and i did that , that took me 2 weeks to get the villagers but with a good night you can get 2 zombie villagers in 1-2 nights

Well yeah, but I doubt anybody will even do that.

Is this a rule now?

Okay, so I get that we shouldn't afk at the farms for too long, (and this question may be redundant; I have read the whole thread just so you know) but if it just so happens that we've gone away from the keyboard to do something real quick, but a staff comes up and starts talking to us, will they wait a certain amount of time for us to return before kicking us? Because I afk at my shared farm when I go downstairs for a few minutes to get food or do a chore of some sort and know I'll be back within ten minutes (any longer and I just sign out).

What i do is check to see how long theyve been online (/seen) and if its been an insane amount of time Ill kick.

Welp, if I'm actually on, I can just religious, sounds good.

But still, I don't believe there is an actual rule yet for AFK, and if there is, I haven't seen one :S

Being AFK in a spot that has entities/mobs lags the server.
