i'm keeping watching the server's performance of connection, i found that at the same time some players fell lag but others just fine, maybe it's because of the location that server is on singapore or player's internet speed,i dont know yet.
because now all Mars-World's database is LevelDB and running in ram-disk(not physical disk),Theoretically the IO-speed will be very fast.
if my guess is right,it'll not be helpful that upgrade hardward. i'll install bandwidth deamond to automatically analyze&figure out that where players connecting to Mars-Worlds from in server. maybe it's helpful that move server from Singapore to other country(ex. europe or england) that in the middle location of player's location.
if player feel lag pls let me know your country/city,it's helpful to let us decide the location that server should be(maybe a new report command for collecting datas about server status as juli said will be better?),tks all.
I feel rarely any lag here. Not regarding any node placing and breaking. Even when playing with world-edit it lags rarely for me. Although map loading sometimes take time for me. plus, that's because of flying and having lot of area may be, but that's only for me. So, that's normal i think.
Also, i have tried pinging the server from my terminal for nearly half an hour and response was normal.
A player named adow was telling he was experiencing some sort of fluctuating lag during mars storm and lightening, so please look into the weather effect in the mod. He is from Europe i think. He described it like "everything was correct and suddenly it started lagging and there was like 20s gap between breaking and getting a node and then again it stopped lagging. Then it happened again after few times."
Recently, i talked to one of our old player Cryterion and he said the lag sometimes happens and sometimes not and gap for putting blocks or digging it only about 5 to 10 sec.
So, there is fair chance this is because of physical distance. But still, i have no confirmation regarding that.
Bro, regarding optimizing game server and reducing lag, you can talk to Gundul. He play around his server a lot i think lol :P. Way lot of structures, players and machines there, still reduced lagging. Although lag happens there too; but only few times and only when lot of players are there. :)
