       ACH DU LIEBER !!  Construction fail - server issue.  Needs resta
       rt at minimum

       I built a square enclosure with reinforced concrete and steel
       walls, settled firmly on top of the rock layer.
       Today, I placed ONE frame block along the top of the wall and
       the whole damn thing came tumbling down.  This shouldn't have
       happened.  I've built this exact same foundation for Bumbaloo
       Castle a dozen times before.  It was a sight to behold, watching
       the wall crumble in a circular fashion, although I had mixed
       feelings considering it represented two days worth of work and
       about a week's worth of resources.
       I suppose the fact that I had to get rid of floating ground
       yesterday and today should've clued me in that there was a
       server issue and to stop building.  But Bumbaloo has never been
       accused of being smart.  Farting, yes, smart, not so much.
       I think the server really needs a restart or a kick in da azz.
       What might be cool is to script the server to restart twice a
       day - noon and midnight, perhaps.  Eliminate these types of
       issues right off the bat.
       Also, is there any chance you guys can restore the town block
       located at 2106 N, 776 E from yesterday, October 14, 2016?  That
       could save me a lot of time in gathering new resources and
       rebuilding.

       I just restarted the server. A script will help nothing. It had
       been restarted only 7 hours earlier. It is restarted frequently.
       If you start to have a problem with the server you guys need to
       post here or better yet, send a PM. You need to ask h0tr0d if
       you want an area restored as I do not know how to do that
       anymore. Sorry.

       Cookie Munchers Compound has been having numerous issues as
       well.  We had blocks falling that should have been supported,
       and floating blocks that should have fallen but refused to obey
       gravity.  Logged in today and the whole northern part of the
       forum seems to have collapsed.
       Not sure what to do at this point.  No reason to keep building,
       or even fix the spot that has already fallen.  Old structures
       are staying intact.  New builds are unstable at best.
       I wouldn't doubt that our problem is once again --> lost
       minibikes.

       That sucks Bumbaloo!  I've been hoarding materials and was
       possibly thinking of moving everything south in a big base but
       now I don't think I'm going to if the whole thing might fall
       apart for no reason.  Hopefully the devs can fix the issues
       because I doubt just restarting the server more will do
       anything.

       I would tend to agree with you Cookie.  I'm pretty sure we ran
       into these issues during A14, before h0tr0d banned minibikes.
       Even if he bans minibikes right now, I think the ones already
       stuck in the world are messing with the game code somehow.  May
       not be fixable without a server wipe with minibikes banned
       again.
       Sorry to hear about your structural collapse too.  That building
       was standing for days, wasn't it?  It certainly looked cool when
       I came for a visit.
       I lost a couple weeks' worth of resources when mine collapsed,
       although it was kinda cool watching the "dominoes" type of
       collapse.  The walls started collapsing brick by brick going
       around in a circle, from the top down, layer by layer.
       It will take me a while to gather up enough resources and bake
       up new cement, to rebuild, so maybe they'll be able to get to
       the bottom of this by then.

       Fastidious,
       Yeah, I'd advise you to hold off on building anything in the
       short term.  Maybe h0tr0d will be able to fix the problem, but I
       think it's prolly likely the server will need a wipe with
       minibikes banned before it becomes stable again.

       The Parthenon is still standing.  Seems that anything built
       before these troubles will remain standing.  However, the newer
       stuff is unstable.  I have a big forum area built with
       alternating white square and peach circle adobe blocks, lit
       underneath with torches.  Almost totally trashed now.  It's not
       zombies because I can see the residue blocks from falling debris
       (and they were sitting on dirt, so they were all supported).
       I'll basically have to redo the whole thing.
       As for minibikes, Hotrod can go into underground ghost mode to
       find the lost ones.  The only problem is with a random gen map,
       the area to search is pretty big.  That's why he always wanted
       to know the specific area whenever a person lost a bike in A14.
       Maybe it's possible to delete specific items from the map
       altogether.
       Wipe at this point would be extreme last resort.

       I want to add my vote to banning minibikes indefinitely. If the
       code gets worked out to make them viable we can add them back
       in, but I think we need to worry more about regular game
       stability and not these vehicles we have had so much trouble
       with in the past. h0tr0d can always increase the run buff on
       coffee again or make a new consumable that gives a significant
       speed buff so people can run around at warp speed. The only real
       negative I see of not having minibikes is the added storage they
       can provide. Stack size doesn't seem to be much of an issue but
       the inability to carry a large number of unique items causes
       inventory woes without having to loot all that many POIs.

       I have a tree that's at 0 that won't fall down as well. Been
       that way for days. I ended up just building my house around it
       and it's actually looking nice to have a bit of a botanical feel
       though. I thought I'd mention it anyhow because it's weird.

       If minibikes are still falling through the world and causing
       huge issues, then I agree. Lets perma ban these things until
       they are 100% safe.
