Should Endless worlds change the way in which they regenerate? Should only server admins / the server itself be able to regenerate an Endless world? Vote in the poll above, and please place your thoughts and comments down below, thanks.

What I'm suggesting is simply the removal of the Regenerate World button from Endless servers.

I can elaborate: What I'm suggesting is that basically, through that removal, an Endless server can either (1) reset via server or admin decision, (2) reset after a certain time interval, (3) reset on certain dates in time, or (4) reset only on game updates. The process can be automated.

This provides a consistent way to know when an Endless server is going to get reset, and increase the happiness of players since it increases the enjoyability of a long-term Endless world.

If it's a Kiel server this means permanent damage can be done to render the server unplayable unless they themselves step in.

If it's a non Kiel server that should be up to the person who made the server to decide if that should be allowed or not if they decide to add it so either way I can't see this as a good thing if it's forced.

Yep, I'm talking about DST Endless servers in general. So, in summary, the "Regenerate World" button would only show up for server hosts/admins, and it's up to admins to decide/automate the periodicity of when a long-term Endless world will reset.

Talking about the ability for players to vote to regenerate worlds? This is already a configurable option on dedicated servers, no change needed there.

However I would certainly support this option being turned off by default as it provides a fairly easy way for griefers to vote to obliterate a long running Endless.

Can you list the steps here for us on how to configure the option to turn off the "Regenerate World" button? Such as what file and what to put in it. Thank you @JazzyGames !

Currently it only allows you to either completely remove players from Voting anything (including rollback and kick player) or allowing them to vote everything.

I believe there should be a way to specify what non-admin players can vote for in thesettings. Instead of being able to vote everything or nothing.

EG: allow them to vote rollback and kick player, but disable regenerate world voting. Or any other combination of the above.
