Hello Everyone,

For the last several weeks, development across the SiriusMC network has been slow, in part due to university requiring most of my attention during the final weeks of the semester. With all my important assessments complete and my dissertation submitted, my focus has once again returned to the improvement and betterment of the server.

During the coming weeks, the rate of development will dramatically increase with a key focus on finishing and publicly releasing SF4. All our servers will also receive critical bug fixes, feature additions, and more!

Today, along with some other small changes, we introduce our new Claim Expiry System. This is a major change, so please read the full details below.

New Claim Expiry System

On claim expiry (still after 90 days), claims will continue to expire. However, instead of being made available for players to raid or steal from, they will now be held by the server pending regeneration by one of our staff members. In rare instances of exceptional builds (not schematica), the staff may elect to preserve them—with valuables and machines removed.

We hope this change will:

• ➤ Reduce the number of new players finding bases with end-game loot, which can ruin modpack progression and disrupt the server economy.
• ➤ Decrease the 'base hunting' and 'raiding' culture that results in widespread griefing and destruction.
• ➤ Create more available, undeveloped land for new players to build on.

To support this change, the following rules have been updated:

• • Rule 12 on Tekkit Legends
• • Rule 9 on The 1.12.2 Pack

These now include restrictions on landscape griefing.

️ The 1.12.2 Pack – Mining World

Claiming is now enabled in the Mining World! You can now secure your valuables in this dimension. Claims will automatically be removed during the weekly Monday reset.

Side note: Technic now supports Microsoft accounts!

Thanks,
— Rishum
