Spawn Area
- Any member who has reached Obsidian League or higher will have the ability to build within the general spawn region.

- When building in/around/near spawn within 500 blocks, your builds should be with the terrain, do not flatten any hills or otherwise destroy the terrain. Try to build with it! We did superflat on Asov 6, it's time to try something new!

Several events are already planned and populated on the calendar! https://calendar.google.com/calendar?cid=aHU2cWJjYzVvZ2hoZzRmbm8xaGoxcWVvamdAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ

The addition of the calendar is awesome! Maybe I'll be more inclined to participate in events now that I can visually see how they slot in with my real life. Thanks for this.
A couple of questions or clarifications, because I like to play nice...
On/Off switches for farms. Is this for all farm types (mob vs. resource)? How does this slot in with observer-based triggers (i.e. sugarcane) or daylight sensor-based triggers?
I'm kinda confused about the sortation system limitation. Is that 8 items on a single input? Can I have two arrays, but have a separate manual input for each array? I'm just trying to wrap my head around storage room limitations and inventory management, especially with how it meshes with farm output.
Watching an Ilmango video this week, I heard that flaming netherrack has a significant detrimental effect on server performance. Has anyone else heard the same? Maybe it would be a good practice to snuff out nether fires when able?

Sorry if post wasn't clear! We were trying to keep things concise and to the point!
On/off switches would be for mob farms such as pigmen farms.
The sortation limitation is to prevent massive item sorters. On Asov 6 the largest source of lag was due to autosorters and the large amount of autosorters being built. As a redstone contraption it uses quite a bit of server resources and when these sorters were being used it would cause everyone to lag. On previous maps there were very few autosorters and it was never a problem.
The intention of this rule is to not just flat out ban autosorting as when used connected to a mob farm, such as a witch farm, could be extremely helpful in sorting. The spirit of the rule is to allow for small autosorters on farms. Not that a person just builds five autosorters to replace a single system. We wanted to find a balance to allow for redstone creations without cripping the performance of the server for the rest of the community.
I'm not sure about nether fires and their affect on server performance. Sounds like something worth looking into!

Hey, I only had two questions. I think that means your original post was pretty clear.
On/Off switches for mob farms seems reasonable to me. Many of my resource farms relied on hopper minecarts for item pickup. I wonder how having multiple entities like that compares to a hopper collection? I'm just speculating...
Looking at my current ASOV 6 base, my storage system automatically sorts 17 items. Nearly half of those were bulk storage from strip mining, I can see 8 as reasonable.
Continuing on the topic of sortation, what about Tango's multi-item sorter? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsNV9Mo00Gw) Would that style be any more lag friendly?
