6 level server with independent seasons


Recommended Posts

I wanted to share this since it took me a lot of effort to get it all working.


This is my configuration for an Ubuntu server, running as a service.  It has 1 master with 5 shards.  4 of the shards are stuck on each a different season with the 5th shard being caves used to interconnect them all.

I followed the normal Linux dedicated server guides already available to get the basic "with caves" server going.  Here is what I worked out from there:

Note:  I didn't keep track of where some of the original components came from because I wasn't intending to share when I began.  (systemd script and sh script I modified, various forums I had to dredge to find all the small details, etc).  I did heavily comment in many of these files to help anyone trying to poke around.

So far, this setup has been working pretty well for me.

 

Portals

Master (overworld)

2-way portals = 6x to Caves
1-way portals = 1x to Autumn, 1x to Spring, 1x to Summer, 1x to Winter

Caves (caves *srug*)

2-way portals = 6x to Master, 1x to Autumn, 1x to Spring, 1x to Summer, 1x to Winter

 

Spring (overworld)

2-way portals = 1x to Caves, 2x to Winter, 2x to Summer

1-way portals = 1x to Caves, 1x to Autumn, 1x to Summer, 1x to Winter

 

Summer (overworld) 

2-way portals = 1x to Caves, 2x to Spring, 2x to Autumn

1-way portals = 1x to Caves, 1x to Spring, 1x to Autumn, 1x to Winter

 

Autumn (overworld) 

2-way portals = 1x to Caves, 2x to Winter, 2x to Summer

1-way portals = 1x to Caves, 1x to Spring, 1x to Summer, 1x to Winter

 

Winter (overworld) 

2-way portals = 1x to Caves, 2x to Autumn, 2x to Spring

1-way portals = 1x to Caves, 1x to Spring, 1x to Summer, 1x to Autumn

Additional tips

Monitor logs from all shards in cluster with this command from the cluster folder
 

watch "tail ./*/server_log.txt"

When implementing desynchronize shards mod, you may need to enter console commands manually or delete your saves and reload your server to get it working.  I left a discussion item mentioning this on the steam workshop page for the mod since the author didn't explain in any verbosity.
