Woh, I think I nodded off in the middle there

S+ farmer sounds interesting (and very much like what we requested in his forum Munki) but what is an ice water jar? Is that SE?

O.o yes... so much text. Still love S+!

New Door Code Crashing Server

"PrimalStructureDoor::CanOpen()"

I think its an issue with the new door code. I changed the check for if a player can open a door from AllowStructureAccess to CanOpen since it seemed like it was more appropriate for doors but it appears to be the cause of all these crashes.

Will have a fix out for it tomorrow.

Temp Fix:

Setting the doors to manual or auto close only until the patch should prevent the crash as that code is only called when auto opening the door.

Server has been updated, issue crashing the servers has been patched.

Hey Brutis,
If you're ever in doubt post on the forum or email me (or steam msg me).... but my signature usually tells when a server is down, if a mod needs to be updated it wont show down but you will be unable to join "Mod Mismatch error"...
