We started raising concerns when we tried it on the test server. I don’t think any of us thought it would wreck things this badly.

I dont think this is an accurate representation of what would occur.

I didn’t create this to say it’s what is going to happen, cuz we dunno. I created it to show how much a 1-3 buffer could affect neighbors. I don’t know how it’s going to be implemented or affect existing establishments. We will have to see. I still have huge reservations.

A senario:
I am in an existing city. My friend Jimmy wants to plot next to me.
So I unplot 6+ plots for him.
My neighbor activated their buffer zone…
3 of those plots are now in my neighbor’s buffer zone.
Jimmy can’t plot those plots.
I can’t plot them back unless my neighbor says I can. I lose plots.

I dunno, but I do know that if you are in a densely populated area & you remove some plots, you lose the buffer & plots. Your neighbor’s plots buffers then take over the space. -I tried this on the test server.

Edited to add: I don’t have a clue how this will affect settlements, road/bridge connection issues, and naming rights.

Concerns were made and questions asked. He did say the plotting stuff was taking up their time and causing problems…pretty sure this will be worse. I definitely don’t think this will be one of those “it will be fine later on” things. It’s bad. Really bad.
