2019-06-19 Server Lockup

[Haxus]

Server Lockup
Several servers have locked up in the past week.

Fixed deadlocks in ships and in buildings.

Max Fence Length
Fences can be very long. This is inefficient.

Fences are limited to 1000m end to end length.

Declare Home
The Declare Home button should be on the building page of the building window.

Declare Home button moved from Bio|Avatar window to Building|Building window.

Capitol Jurisdiction Bug
Built a farm. Then built a capitol near the farm. The farm was not in the town of the capitol until after a server restart.

Fixed initial jurisdiction of capitol building.

Money to Metal
Money tends to accumulate in large amounts. If it is bullion made from metal, why can't it be melted back into metal.

Smelter can now make metal from cronodollars.

• Cronos are always refined to Q255 purity so the resulting metal is Q255.
  
• Cronos minted from magmium or vulcium do not produce those metals when smelted; they produce Metal.
  

Someone may say that allows a freighter to haul a lot of metal without taking any cargo space. That is already true of cronodollars. When transferring cronos, think of it like a cheque, authorizing the bank or storage facility to transfer the coins to the recipient.

Mint Bullion Bug
A Q255 unit of metal is worth about 52 cronos. How can a mint make 1600+ cronos from a unit of metal?

Minting processes were fixed to produce the number of coins exactly equal to the value of the metal(s) used. All minting produces Metal coins.

Mint Bullion using Adamantine
There are no processes to mint bullion using adamantine.

Cronos can now be minted using adamantine. The patent for this depends upon the patent for minting bullion from vulcium.

Fence Material
Fences in blueprints take too much material when the building is constructed.

Changed the formulae for calculating fence materials. They should be quite a bit less now.
