While we are adding things can you make it so that putting down redstone dust costs 1 RC? That would make it so that people cannot just spam dust and then make lag machines willy nilly.
Cant tell if sarcastic, or just not knowledgeable about lag machines.

Won't cows, pigs, chickens, and sheep be non-exsistant after the wipe as they only spawn during chunk creation?

They only spawn during chunk loading. Whether it's the first time the chunk has EVER loaded or not is unimportant.

Question: Will things that require redstone for power (pistons, iron doors) be wiped, or only the redstone itself?

Only redstone dust and redstone torches are being wiped. (Not pistons, etc)

I think that cobble blocks are contributing to the lag as well and should be removed (cobble is ugly anyways and I think stone should drop bricks instead :D). Please consider this.

Thanks

Stopping redstone torches from producing light in the future would be good as discussed in another thread, they will still "light up" and be much more visible in the dark, just no blocks around them will get lit up. The amount of light they make is useless anyway.

This. The only purpose the light serves is to tell you whether the torch is on or not--and in most simple machines they're always on anyway. IIRC the light level produced by torches is not even high enough to meet the threshold for stopping mob spawns.

EDIT: Another idea for a permanent change. Unrelated to the above, but didn't want to double-post. Permanently disable spread of mushrooms. This was already nerfed a while ago when limits were placed on how many mushrooms could be in a 3x3x3 area and still have spawning (or something like that). Using bonemeal to generate giant mushrooms has replaced the old form of mushroom farming, so we only need to be able to place them (in order to apply bonemeal), but we don't need them to spread.

We enabled debugging to notify mods of redstone

Found several lag machines, lag greatly reduced. (/who)
It also re-affirms our decision to wipe redstone.
