Beacons Survey Results

Question 4

Average number of Beacon plots expected after…
…1 hour of play: 5 plots
…10 hours of play: 20 plots
…100 hours of play: 111 plots

1 hour → 16x16x8 fields => i need 2-3 hours and the beacon is full
10 hours → 24x24x16 fields => i need 4-5 hour and the beacon is full
100 hours → 40x40x32 fields => i build slowly i need 1 day and the beacon is full

i think the most person dont know that the beacons/plot counter is for all server not for every.

I think these are too few plots

i have now round about 300 hour play time, with 111 plots i can save maybe a max. of 5% of my building

if we look here

Informations about the OLD Beacon-System

Hi all, now, that we have the survey about the new beacon system I thought to myself, that it is time to take a close look at the old system. therefore i analysed the data which are provided by the old beacon request thread. Overall there are 284 Beacons (requested in the thread, i have no informations about request via PM) on 49 Worlds. For my statistics a assumed that the radius of a beacon is 25 if there is no other dimension requested (@ben can you confirm this value ?) [image] For a b…

As you can see in the second table, the smallest requested beacon has a radius of only 15 blocks (remember, old beacons have a full 255 Blocks hight) and therefor would require 113 plots in the new system. Assuming that only ~the half of an old beacon is build it would still require 56 plots.This values escalate quickly for the average beacon size (84 radius) and for the larges beacons (600 radius) that have been requested. You can also see that the deviation is really high with a value of 114 radius.
