Hello guys, we're gonna take a break from tenor for a second in this thread because I had the idea to run a soycraft geopol and wanted to ask you for your thoughts.
This would entail running the server for 1-2 months (basically until everybody gets bored). Currently, soycraft averages around 10-20 people tops. This is primarily because the initial influx of people got bored after a month, as soycraft had no end goal whatsoever & there was other mismanagement that I won't get into. Either way, the sharty geopol would be surfing on that initial 100 player count for its entire lifetime.
The sharty geopol would be running
https://nodes.soy on a premade map. Currently nodes is the plugin of preference for every single major geopol server, as towny fell out of use due to its shit war mechanics. You can read more about the plugin on the website but trust me, it's really good. If you're not familiar with geopolitical servers, they revolve around groups of players choosing nations to larp as and fight other nations. You're able to capture the bases of other nations if you win against them in wars. For our purposes the nations & map could either be IRL historical shit, sharty related or fictional whatever, I don't really care myself and this can be decided later. Examples of geopols are intcraft and crusalis.
I'm familiar with a bunch of people who run geopol servers so for the sharty geopol I could get us a really nice map, gun plugins, maybe even vehicles etc. basically top of the line shit. It'd be way into the future though. What I want to know is if there's interest from you guys in a competitive server with an actual end goal.
Also I may or may not allow some ex-/dem/ guys to play and set up their own nations depending on the consensus.
<reddit spacing>chatgpt tldr: They’re proposing running a short-term (1–2 month) “geopolitical” Minecraft server on Soycraft to revive player interest. The server would use the Nodes plugin on a premade map, feature nation-based roleplay and wars with an actual end goal, and include high-quality features like guns and possibly vehicles. They’re asking the community if there’s interest in a competitive geopol server, since past Soycraft activity dropped due to lack of direction and mismanagement.^my tldr: nations server where you fight and conquer other groups, could add guns/vehicles, would run for 1-2 months, is there interest?(pics are from intcraft)

>>23006We're not gonna have autism mods, there will be some industry but it's going to be relatively simplified
>>22994Nobaldi cares, read the first line of this thread
Right now I'm working to get us a map of Europe. We definitely won't be able to fill all the nations on it so I'll prolly do some merging, unless you guys want to make your own soylarp factions instead of real historical stuff. What do you think?

>>23006it's so easy to crash servers with create mod
>>23024both can work but there is an already existing soylarp factions from /craft/ history, also as you know this server is going to fall off fast so erm idk

>>22942 (OP)when are we able to play this? And do we get assigned to land based off our geolocation irl? Like if im in the USA I spawn in the USA

shut this down no one wants another earthpol server
№23038[Quote]
>>23027the entire point is that this is not going to last more than like a month or two, even if people only play it for 2 weeks thats fine
also factions can just slot historical nations. I can do modern day guns, ww2 whatever. I'm more interested in if you want real nations or just to larp as your own metagroups
>>23036evandoe 27 phonos want it
>>23030at least after the current soycraft ends and no

>>22942 (OP)Reading or seeing the events that would happen in the server might be funny, but I recon that this would be a slog to play if its anything like other geopol servers I've been on.
№23077[Quote]
perhaps it best to do this after soycraft 3 ends to not split player counts. Soyworld died mostly because soycraft 3 got back on track again

>>23027>it's so easy to crash servers with create modso whats the alternative? flans stuff? i remember briefly being part of this server with a world map and really in depth rules and fucking excel sheets, somewhat fun, but at the same time rather frustrating

>>23078We're going to be using XC for guns and vehicles
https://github.com/phonon/minecraft-xc>>23077I'm not launching it until after the current soycraft dies like a nigger baby
>>23076I've played on many geopols before and I know what makes them fun & unfun. I'll try to limit the boring brainless grind a bit. Nodes lets you have passive income for example which is very nice. I'll also limit gear to something like iron armor & no enchants diamond tools max (with craftable efficiency 5 silk touch stuff) so that people actually fight instead of being worried about losing gear that took them hours to grind for. If I can figure out how to get vehicles to work we will have these as a resource sink for those who insist.

this isnt truely a bad idea pr anything its just theirs 40 different servers which do the exact same thing

>>23080im kinda for it. youd actually have to be not retarded, instead of nolifing to carve out and protect your turf for yourself, its more newbie friendly. tho i still wish we'd get some very basic create stuff
№23087[Quote]
>>23080It's what every geopolitical server under the sun does, trust me when I say it won't be boring or anything, quite the opposite rather. Thing is the server will revolve around conflict and I don't want people losing expensive gear in it after dying just one time. Wars on most geopols are die -> get a new kit -> die -> get a new kit and so on and so on until either of the factions runs out of gear. People also do raids in peacetime so yeah.
It's not like the gear will be pathetic cheap either. It's still gonna suck if you lose it, just not as much as if you lost full enchants netheriteslop.
>>23082Yeah and 4000 different servers that do generic survival, possibly more.
>>23083No mods and definitely no autism mods, you'll only need a resourcepack (that will download when you first join) to play the server.
We're going to have factories, which would be necessary to craft high-end weapons and vehicles. They won't require you to have in-depth sperg-level knowledge of obscure mechanics tho. You'd build something resembling one of the 3 or so types of factories and they'd then be manually reviewed by the jannies based on size and aesthetics, and assigned a tier where a higher tier means it processes resources faster. How these factories work is you put resources inside them with a command, then they shit out processed materials to your town's income, really simple stuff.

An update on recent progress: I've set up the nodes plugin and am going to be painting territories now. Next will come setting up the remaining plugins, including XC which'll be our weapons plugin. I already have some good models and configs ready (stolen) so it shouldn't be too difficult.
It'll be a map of Europe, I'll send you a picture as soon as it's ready.
