MACHINERY
Machinery was an essential part of the last season, and will be even more important this season. But how...?
- Added new Salvager Machine
The Salvager machine will use its' Energy to convert an item into its' recipe! Cool, right? - Added new Charged Anvil Machine
The Charged Anvil machine can repair broken items, using Energy! - Implemented an I/O system
The I/O system (input/output) will allow transfers to machines using hoppers; this makes it easier for automation of machines, and requires less player supervision.

Jetpacks will now be 2x more efficient
Jetpacks will now consume less Energy when you are in your own nation territory - Machines will now count towards nation-top points
WARS
Wars... the most important, yet never-working feature.
This season, we've put some efforts into fixing and improving wars, here's how:
- Wars will now be split into two different stages
Wars will now occur across two different stages: the Capturing Stage and the Elimination Stage.
The Capturing Stage
Your nation has to "hold" your opponent's capital for 20 minutes.
If your nation succeeds, you win that stage.
The Elimination Stage
Your nation has to eliminate the opponent nation a specific amount of times to win.
The nation that reaches that specific amount first will win that stage.
The nation with most won stages at the conclusion of stage 2 will be the winner of the War.
Yes: wars can now tie too. - Wars can now be temporarily paused if both nations agree
- Disabled Jetpacks in wars
- Fixed issues with called-in allies not being able to hurt others or be hurt
- Fixed issue where you could capture a nation from Warzone
- Fixed issue where you could not pick up items in enemy territory during a war
NATION TAX
There are 2 types of nation tax: upkeep tax & player tax. You can read more about the taxes below:
Every week, on Sundays, your nation will be charged with a tax of $5 for every claim you own.
This process is done automatically.
If your nation, however, lacks the balance to pay this tax, you have until the following Sunday to pay off both taxes. If you do not pay off both taxes, your nation will be DISBANDED!
This process is done automatically.
If your nation, however, lacks the balance to pay this tax, you have until the following Sunday to pay off both taxes. If you do not pay off both taxes, your nation will be DISBANDED!
Faction Leaders can set a tax rate, a percentage from 0% to 100%.
Every week, on Sundays, each and every member are required to pay the percentage of their balance to their nation.
This process is done automatically.
The leader can see who taxed and how much, and therefore, punish tax evaders.

NATION ELECTIONS
Don't like your current leadership? No problem.
You can now overthrow your own government - if enough members share your opinion.
The nation election consists of 3 stages:
- No-Confidence: Do you have any confidence in your current leadership?
Requires at least 50% of the nation to vote FOR, for this to pass. - Overthrow: Do you believe the current leadership should be overthrown?
Requires at least 66% of the nation to VOTE for, for this to pass. - Leadership: Who should be the new leader of the nation?
The member with the most amount of votes will be assigned leader at the conclusion of the election.
CUSTOM ENCHANTS
... have been removed.
They have been replaced by various items.
WHAT ELSE?
- Added /baltop, /tokentop and /playtimetop
- Added a fee to Warps
To warp, you must now pay a certain fee. This fee is dependent on your distance to the target warp.
The fee has a base cost of $1,000, but is increased by $1 for every 10 blocks. Warping from NA West to Australia would cost $4,110.
You will NOT have to pay this fee during the Grace Period. - Added a setting in the Skills Menu to turn off Skill master abilities (/skills)
