Posted Jun 11, 2013I thought biomechange in the config changed biomes to desert, but for some reason it's changing everything to ice plains. Is there a way to only make it change biomes to deserts?

Posted Jun 11, 2013Atm every time i do "reload" on my server, this plugin reverts the config file back to default, effectively, theres no way to customize this presently.

Not sure but your can stop the server, edit the file then start the server that should make it load.

Posted Jun 10, 2013Is it just chunks on the surface that are affected? For instance, say that I have it set that wheat turns into air on day ten, would wheat planted underground be safe, or would all wheat have a chance of disappearing?

Posted Jun 10, 2013Hi, I've been toying around with this plugin and I'm not able to do somethings. Currently my server is hosted in DaddyCheese, for if that might be troublesome.
I'm trying to switch cobblestone to netherrack, lava to fire and -> dirt to sandsoul in night, reverting sandsoul to dirt during day.
So far I've tried enough times to realise that I cannot do it. Also, when trying to change config.yml ingame and typing /ApocAdmin reload, the file seems to empty and goes bug, I cannot modify it anymore 'cos everytime I restart the server it empties completely, even if I use the original config.yml. So I have to go uninstalling and installing the plugin again to make it work.
This is my config.yml

You can remove water from the list the mod will do nothing with it.
StopWater:On will also remove the Drain effect.
Theres no good way to stop water because it wants to flow and big bodies of water are just lag waiting to happen, best advice is get rid of water ASAP. There may be one small tweak I can add to help a little.
This has always been a problem with fire, lava, and water.

Posted May 26, 2013Hi,
Really awesome plugin; I love it :3
Don't suppose there's a config node for disabling the sea draining? It's quite resource intensive. I've tried setting the SeaLevel to 256. Any ideas?

Not sure what your asking.
@m0rbidang3l
Nope the chunks don't really exist until they are loaded. You want to look into world generators.
@flawlessbraz1
You can make it harder Look here you can have
dirt -> tnt
tnt -> fire
stone -> lava

Posted May 11, 2013Is it possible to run Solar Apocalypse on unloaded chunks?
I'm starting a post apocalypse server, and would like the entire world to already be degraded, as opposed to players finding new chunks, and those degrading over time.

Posted May 11, 2013Do you have an auto starting thing so it won't let people in when in progress and when it is ready people can come? Then, I'll download this.

Theres a "/apoc restart" that will restart the apoc where it left off. you can also have it auto restart when the server reboots.

Its better in the latest version, but if you hit unloaded chunks the plugin rushes to catch up, and you will get the blocky water.
