You cant have the market for everything. This IS a survival server, you have to work at least a little bit.

I agree with that list, those items are always in high demand and yet the shop does not sell them.

I support your case.

Exactly what Alicia said...There are some things which gives you the challenge to craft these items of just buy them from othe players...

Yes but with some things, like slimes you cant buy them or craft them. Ive been asking for slimes over the span of 2 weeks whenever Im on and NO ONE has them. And of course you cant craft them and they spawn rarely

This is another topic;
Hello.

I have been on this server for about a month now and have seen the lack of slimes spawning in the server. I am always needing sticky pistons but when I go mining and search for slimes none spawn. I have consulted with Zen00 and he said that there are spawning issues on the server due to the world expansion. Is there something I am missing or do they just not spawn.

Is this a bug and if yes when will it be fixed?

Thank you,
SN1PER_G0R1LLA

I can assure you that slime balls do exist on the server. Its just either people need them or they aren't willing to sell them.  I have been asked to pay 1k for one slimeball..
+ yes this topic has been made over 3 times. Go back some pages before posting ( i am reffering to slimes)

I've also just realized that I have never seen a mob on the surface before...

Well this was about market suggestions, but I appear to be caught in an argument about slimes -_-

Well, it just proves how badly this server needs slims in the market  :)

from all the required things only slimes could be added, if the owner wants.
the rest of it you can crafted.
you cant craft redstone repeters? lol, im selling redstone dust constantly at the market so its easy to get.
pistons laso can be crafted easy, only sticky pistons cant as you need slimes.

Guys, the slimeballs are bugged by the game. That's why they dotn spawn, or spawn very rarely.
I know a person that 2 weeks ago, had 2 slimes in his farm, and after a while, more spanwed.
Furthermore, the players have slimes/sticky but they dont sell them.
I did some agreements with some guys, they provided me sticky and I gave them a limited access to my blaze spawner.

Why dont you use your imagination?

As a conclusion, the owner probably will find an alternative for that.

Ps: I am really tired with slime posts.

None of this needs to be sold in the market as all of the materials for crafting are out there in the wild and can be mined and gathered.  I can kind of sort of see the argument for slimes to be sold... but only at a VERY VERY high cost since they are so rare.

They way I look at it though is since slimes are so rare... the challenge is figuring out how to engineer and do things without slimes and sticky pistons.  That's the challenge of a survival server.

Try making a piston door.

WITHOUT stiky pistons...

DONE... !!!

A simple 1x2 door:  where []-| is a piston (non sticky variety)

[]-|{block}Opening|-[]
[]-|{block}Opening|-[]

1) Activate pistons on the left with a button to move blocks right to seal the opening
2) Activate pistons on right with button to move blocks left to clear the opening.

It's not large or elegant... but it's functional.

 ;D ;)

i can tell you now that we've found mobs and entities to be the main cause of a low tickrate. having a large amount of stuff really slows down the server. mob farms, chicken farms, experience orbs, pretty much everything. opti has theorized that the server-side collision detection algorithms may be spazzing out when it comes to lots of mobs in a small area - potentially causing the lag. he'll work something in to throttle the number of mobs that can be in a certain area- maybe it will help out with the lag.

This is what happens when we build too many mob/ xp farms and grinders-- we have caused the server to go berserk, and this has caused the mob numbers to go down so much that you might not even encounter 1 mob for quite a while

Here is a short list with a few things I think should be added to the market;
slimeballs (people are ALWAYS asking on chat and no one has them)
pistons and sticky pistons (this seems like a must have all round)
redstone repeaters
And there is probably more but cbb right now, please comment on your views for the stuff I said or suggest something else to be added?
I just think the market needs to be expanded a bit as it only has a few things out of the kajillion minecraft items <3


Slimeballs:  They are rare, that's why you don't get many people selling them.  I, myself, have 18 of them.  Slimes aren't impossible to find, but do require effort and knowledge.  Go into a Slime fight with the right weapons to yield the highest slimeball drops (yes different weapons change your drop chance).

Pistons:  Really?  These are so easy to make.  I made over 50 of them in the span of a week without even trying.  The materials are available on the market if you can't be bothered to mine.

Sticky Pistons:  See both answers above.

Redstone Repeaters:  Don't be lazy, these aren't that hard to make either.  Stone, sticks, & redstone is all you need.  As with pistons, if you can't be bothered to mine all of the components are on the market already.

I'm with Viper on this one - mostly...   Things that are easy to make, just make them (pistons, redstone repeaters).  Slimeballs on the other hand...   Until the spawning situation is fixed, I seem to be out of luck.  Having some in market that are highly priced would be helpful so building can continue but people can't stockpile them.

But without them, i can still get by - just not as much fun.
