No compressors on spawn planet

Looks for the spawn planet by searching for it's entity class and it's size. When a player goes to spawn a compressor on the spawn planet it will remove it as soon as it's spawned.

    That's not exactly an optimal way to deal with it, as it will only work on one map, and even if it did work on all maps, it could affect planets besides the spawn planet. I'm going to implement something to keep spawn's atmosphere in a breathable range eventually, but its going to have to be dynamic as we run quite a few maps.

    This only affects the spawn planet on one map because that's all the server #2 current plays. Also this looks for the spefic entity that makes up a planet and finds the exact size of the planet. Just you let you know the spawn planet on vacuum is the biggest at 4096 as you may of been able to see. The Space Build team are still lagging in their development. If they finish up environments(https://github.com/SnakeSVx/spacebuild/blob/master/lua/CAF/Addons/server/spacebuild.lua#L332) their would be a easy way to do this for all maps.

    Technically Compressors aren't all that bad unless used for a very long time and / or used with a very large multiplier. As much as I hate them being used at all, for the above reasons, we'd be better off educating people to split water rather than forcibly removing their compressors. I mean, if the only way you know how to get Oxygen is to compress it, and suddenly you can't spawn compressors?

    Something will be implemented as Brandon said, in the mean-time if you have troubles with people compressing the entire atmosphere either try to teach them or ask for an Admin to help (they can spawn plants to refresh O2, iirc).

    I haven't actually see an admin on server #2 is that a bad thing?

    Edit:
    Updated to include 14 spacebuild maps.

    Probably just means the owner of that server quit playing Gmod again.

    I agree, there should be a little more presence on server #2 and the spawn planet protection sounds great... We really need that as an ass was on the server earlier today trying to make earth's atmosphere um-breathable. Fortunately, we were able to generate enough O2 to counter the individual in question, considering their knowledge of wire and LS was limited... probably some kid trying to get a rise out of people on the server.
    Super broken programming!

    I'll fix it... later.

    Server owner is around occasionly :p (I believe Server #2 is me?)
    We have a few admins that are on quite a bit, just depends on timezones and so forth in reality.

    You have it backwards clak, you have #1 not #2. Anyways not much talking going on here, just going to lock it for now.
