There are plenty of other places to harvest brimstone, yes. But nowhere with the quantity of SS. Which requires a player to spend more time running around half the map, to collect the amount of brimstone one lap of SS will provide.
Would be nice to have more places to find brimstone too.
And to put a limit on how much a player can build, to stop or at least reduce the land claiming abuse.
One of the advantages of playing on a privately owned server, we have declared certain areas off limits and with the rules posted at all spawnpoints and obelisks we don’t worry about deleting stuff that’s out of spec
It is but my mates and I are Australian so not many private servers with good ping sadly. official is fine for us. plenty of population just so many rat griefers.
I understand your problem, but I’m afraid building restrictions would not solve it. Blockers, especially those doing it just to annoy others, would simply build a longer wall around the no-build zone, thus claiming an even bigger area than before.
