ROBLOX has legitimately done absolutely nothing for personal servers since their release (minus a few updates). Below are the problems and associated solutions to make personal servers simply much better than before. 1. The stamper has not been updated since Stamper V3 came out (same with all the rest of the tools), which brought the entire new layout of the stamper (when terrain was added to the game is about the time they added it). The new look and capability of the stamper is very nice, but it could truly use some improvements as far as more deleting power (mass deleter tool). And before you go and say "mass griefing everywhere": If you don't want mass griefing, get rid of the floodfill and the C4s. That's never going to happen, so the mass deleter could still help (with DELETING floods, as well.) 2. THERE IS WAY TOO MANY CRASHES HAPPENING. No, it is not my computer. I use three different laptops, a desktop, and a majority of my friends that build with me on servers and they all have the issue. Building in a game? No worries dude! We'll just destroy your work by crashing you in the middle of a floodfill and accidentally destroying all of your progress! 3. The server functionality should seriously be updated. I mean, it's horrifying, really. Some tools break when certain things are added, most local/script builder scripts break the tool giving system, and even more. I couldn't name everything that's wrong because I have obviously not come across them all. 4. There should be better ways to stop griefing. Most ways to do anti-C4s are scriptable, but as far as terrain mass flooding goes, the only way to stop that is to get rid of all of the terrain (or at least certain kinds of terrain). And even then, terrain overlaps other terrain, so floodfilling also removes all of the terrain that was there before. ---SOLUTIONS--- Issue one: Update the default stamper tool we receive in places. Yes yes, scriptable. I know. BUT, given the admins' advanced uber scripting skillz, most scripters that actually USE personal servers can't script that. So either make an easier-to-edit stamper tool for us, or just update the current one (and add the following:) -Dynamic Lighting Block (Configurable) - Already a free model, just add it in. By the same guy who made Stamper Build, clone something -More wiring blocks -More configurable blocks -New parts (Basic Building) -Spheres -Wedges ISSUE TWO: I don't know how to program something as complex as the ROBLOX player but given that everybody has these crashes I know it is something to do with the servers, which obviously means ROBLOX can fix it. So take some time to do that, it'd be nice. ISSUE THREE: Make it easier to edit the tools you get and give to others using scripts, as well as adding new ranks to the system of rankings (or at least allowing us to make them.) That would make it much easier to organize players in a game and set them aside to have certain abilities. ISSUE FOUR: Add a mass deleter function for the deleting tool, similar to the stamper but you can toggle it on and off using some key control (perhaps r for rekt or g for get rekt). As far as I know these solutions should greatly improve building experience in personal servers and me being the stamper builder that I am would love to see these implemented. Please show support or edit my ideas below. If possible, use constructive criticism or try to at least say why you don't think these are good ideas. Hey, that looks like Squidward!

Sure, support. And maybe only let server admins have the mass delete tool?

I don't really care for personal servers, but I'll comment on one thing here. For tools, just go into the models section of the catalog and search: "F3X Building Tools". They're the best ones. Just use them.

Its still working. Its not like its hard to use. ROBLOX can grant every wish for things to be updates. If it's not broke, dont fix it.

@Chaos I already use those tools when building in my game, along with Build V3. I try to find great tools to use in my games and that helps me expand my building experience however the mass delete tool would work on terrain as well. Also, those tools stop working randomly after you die and respawn, so they really don't work well unless you want to constantly have to keep rejoining (especially given the crash issue.) And @Charlie, if these things aren't added I don't really mind. The major thing I want to address is the crashing issue. I'm sure everyone who uses personal servers knows about this issue. As far as your "if it's not broke don't fix it" quote goes, you could consider the crashing to be a bug. That classifies as broke in my book. Hey, that looks like Squidward! In angry mob form!

@tery Have you ever used a stamper tool with floodfill before? Chances are you haven't, considering your argument. Stamper tool floodfill highlights a specific area WITH guidance from your little selection block thing. It doesn't just highlight a random block in the middle of space, as you can do in MCEdit (if you've ever used that or seen videos of it.) Hey, that looks like Squidward! In angry mob form!

''ROBLOX has legitimately done absolutely nothing for personal servers since their release(minus a few updates).'' The irony in that one statement... I don't feel the need to read past it.

I feel the same way, some sandbox servers lag so bad cause 1. lots of mechanics. 2. The Star of the show: the STAMPER TOOL. 3. When u have moving things or light reconstruction that adds about 50% lag. FIX IT ROBLOX,PLZ
