    ⏳ Managing Era Transitions And Progression

    The Raid World operates on a seasonal rotation called Eras. Changing the active Era re-gates available items, reloads teleport locations, and switches active mining sectors. This walkthrough details how to manage Era transitions and progression.

    Plugins & Commands Used

    • Raid World Era System: Skript command /eraadmin
    • GGRTP Locations: Skript command /ggrtpadmin
    • Stockpiles Manager: Skript command /stockpileadmin

    Step 1: Checking the Current Era

    Before initiating a transition, verify what Era is currently active on the server:
    /eraadmin get

    • Output will print the current active Era ID (e.g. era1).

    Step 2: Querying Era Configuration Details

    To inspect the feature list and settings of a target Era before loading it:
    /eraadmin info <eraId>

    • Example: /eraadmin info era2

    Step 3: Setting the Active Era

    To transition the server to a new Era:

    1. Run the command:
      /eraadmin set <eraId>
      • Example: /eraadmin set era2
    2. This triggers the system to:
      • Load the Era-specific settings.
      • Lock/unlock gated features (e.g., locking Cosmic Crates and high-tier constructs in Era 1, and unlocking them in Era 2).
      • Clear and reload active GGRTP random teleport coordinates.
      • Clear and reload active supply stockpile locations.

    Step 4: Gating and Testing unreleased features

    If you are preparing for a new season and want builders, staff, or QA testers to test unreleased items (such as the Supernova wall or Quantum Entanglers) before they are officially unlocked:

    1. Grant the player unreleased feature testing access:
      /eraadmin toggleUnreleasedFeatures <player>
      • Example: /eraadmin toggleUnreleasedFeatures AubieTheTorkey
    2. Run the command again to disable access when testing is complete.

    Step 5: Verifying GGRTP and Stockpile Updates

    After changing the Era, always confirm that GGRTP and Stockpile locations have successfully switched:

    • Verify GGRTP:
      /ggrtpadmin list
      • Confirm that the list output matches the correct Era's coordinate layout (e.g., 31 spots in Era 1, or 17 spots in Era 2).
    • Verify Stockpiles:
      /stockpileadmin list
      • Confirm that active and inactive stockpiles are loaded correctly from the config.

    [!IMPORTANT]
    At the end of an Era, a terrain wipe occurs. All custom builds, claims, and blocks are reset, and company upgrades/balances are cleared. Chemistry lab inventories are automatically migrated into the Company Chemtainer vault during wipes to prevent player loss.
