Wipe or No wipe. Let talk about a few things. 1) Schematics - I think these need to stay, as other people have said already removing these would be a mistake. We would go back to pre 0.23 where everyone was just making whatever they wanted. There would be no need to be competitive in pricing or any need for player made markets like gottchar and brights or the many others. The issue here was the implementation of them, the cost and the location. So if you want to fix schematics, fix those things. 2) Constructs -Voxel masters that have spent hundred of hours should be able to keep their creations minus the elements or auto converted to a bp 3) Factories - Factory wizards like the voxel masters have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours in their factories. Should not have to feel like they are being punished because they focused on factories. There needs to be a way to compensate those people. Wiping. - Doing no wipe at all. I dont believe that this is an option as this point. There are new things coming to the game, and if it solves old problems then it should be done. However you should stop making promises that you are not able to keep. This is gonna leave a sour taste in the mouths of every backer, alpha and beta key person. - Making a partial wipe Same as doing no wipe, it doesn't alleviate the issues and only keeps X players happy. - Having a “legacy” live server and a new live server How about NO. Like you already stated this would split the community and lets be honest you guys already have a hard enough time with one server. Full Wipe Probably the best solution to fix issues and alleviate any problems. Schematics should stay, just address and fix the issue with them. - location and cost Find a way to compensate the people that have built massive factories and spent hundred of hours there Allows constructs to come over minus the elements or convert them to basic elements.

A million a week is too much! In the Q&A video you said a million a month (https://youtu.be/rhoz6ynOKBQ?t=2802), which I thought was fair and doable. I think we all understand the need for a decay system plus the added game play of finding tiles and structures that have been abandoned and claiming them. The cost is insanely high, add in the fluctuations of ore prices and that the prices will absolutely dive bomb because of the amount of t1 ore flooding the markets so players can pay that tax. It becomes an unreasonable demand on players to meet. Stick to the 1 month tax and scale back if you need to, to find the right balance. To go from one month in the Q&A video to every week is to much of a swing. It pretty much makes the video pointless and a waste of time.
