I recently acquired VIP III and I can now use TNT outside of mining. However, upon using it, the large shaft I used 2 stacks of TNT on to make a cave for a rail system regenerated. No ore drops, no evidence of explosion, TNT is really just a noisemaker that damages enemies. What do you guys think?
I see people using TNT generally when mining. I think that it should be used in Survival assuming it's something we can rollback with Prism. I think that kind of rollback was much harder with log block. I think in the past it was not able to be used even with VIPs for breaking / exploding things on peaceful / pvp because it's potential to A. grief and B. horribly disfigure the world. I'm in support with it being allowed with VIPIII to actually destroy the world in conjunction with the new rules about not being able to absolutely obliterate the landscape and make it look like poop. It does create PVP complications because if people use TNT to defend or offensively you're also blowing the shit out of the defending / attacking town.
Maybe set it so at a height over y=45 it does not damage terrain, and nerf the damage if it's too OP. I don't know if it's possible, or even if it's a good idea, but it's all I got.
I believe that it should be enabled the way you are describing anyways. I know for a fact that we used it to blow up PieSquared's old castle. More recently, I recall using tnt in peaceful to help shock clear some space underground. I think it's a bug that block damage is disabled.
Yes Bill just mentioned in Teamspeak that he remembers using TNT recently too in peaceful, so yeah seems like a recent accidental change.
Yes! I used tnt in peacefu just a couple of days ago successfully. However, last night the tnt exploded, but then one by one each stone block would reappear until the hole was filled again, even causing suffocation damage where the blocks are 'growing' back.
Should work again. If it was working fine then a few days ago then it was likely causef by the towny crash or towny update. Thank you for reporting it.
