FAQ

Build Protection:

The questions we get asked the most on Discord are:

  1. Can I protect my builds/island from trolls?
  2. Can I stop people from stealing from my chests?

The simple answer is no.

Explanation: The game offers little to no server admin tools to deal with trolls, and the modding community is still in its infancy. When / If these tools become available, we will implement them ASAP.
Solution: If you're concerned about people stealing your stuff or breaking your buildings, I would recommend going far away from spawn before you start to build.

If people can't find you, they can't steal from you (or break your builds).


Server Population:

The other most asked question on discord is:

  • Does anyone play on this server, or is it dead?

Answer:

  • It all depends on time zone. Sometimes the server is full, sometimes it is empty. Try different times of the day. As of May 10th, 2023, the server averages between 10 and 20 unique connections per day.
  • In the #bot-stuff channel on our Discord if you type ?rank necesse it will unlock a channel called #necesse-server-chat where you can see in-game chat including join messages when someone joins the server.

Necesse New Spawn Island After Every Restart



I'm getting a lot of DMs on how the Claytonia server makes a "new" spawn island after every restart. I wanted to put the information out there somewhere, so people can search for it.

This isn't a great way to do this, and can cause issues. Use it at your own risk.
I don't use a game server manager, I cannot help you achieve this using a server manager or if you're using windows to host your server.

How To:
1. Make a master copy of the spawn island file. (It's a .dat, found in the saves directory.)

2. During restart of the server, remove the spawn isle .dat file and replace it with the saved master copy.


Here is the code snippet that makes a fresh spawn island after every restart. This snippet comes from the restart/update script. Please note: Your start island will have different coords!


##server update code is above 
#Replace spawn island
rm -f "/path/to/necesse/saves/Claytonia/levels/-3370x508d0.dat"
cp -n "/path/to/necesse/saves/master/-3370x508d0.dat" "/path/to/necesse/saves/Claytonia/levels/-3370x508d0.dat"
##Server launch command is below
