    Hey all,

    Crew logged on today and added "crophoppers" into the /shop today!

    In the words of crew himself, "so crop hoppers, you can place it in a chunk and when the crop is grown it will go to that hopper automatically. no pistons, water etc." This was apparently implemented to try reduce the lag and provide a less laggy alternative for farms.

    There are 3 levels types of crop hoppers;
    Level 1:
    Limit: 1 item per second
    Items: Cactus & Sugarcane
    Price: $10,000 per hopper

    Level 2:
    Limit: 2 items per second
    Items: Cactus, Sugarcane & Wheat
    Price: $30,000 per hopper

    Level 3:
    Limit: 3 items per second
    Items: Cactus, Sugarcane, Wheat, Pumpkins & Melons
    Price: $50,000 per hopper

    What are your opinions on these? I personally like the idea due to the hopeful reduction of lag and the alternative it provides. It will hopefully make farming a lot easier!

    p.s. thank you crew :heart:

    I find the idea really interesting and I'm glad it got implemented. I feel like it'll help in many ways such as reduce lag, etc. :heartface:

    Something had to be done I guess but Drogo feels this just dumbs down the game by removing the need for water flow and pistons to run farms.
    Automation by way of redstone and water flow is the most interesting aspect of this game for Drogo and now it's not needed to farm

    For sure! I’m most excited to see how it helps out with all the lag!


    I agree, this is a very strong point. Whilst something needed to be done about the lag and hopefully this will help that, it does take away a huge part of farming and makes it a less vanilla gameplay. It’s got it’s pros and cons but compromises need to be made :(
