Landslides enable?

[Jeramie]

Hello, we got a server through winternode and we have been trying to be able to have landslides and falling blocks. We've used the commands for it and have tried to change the settings and nothing. The command were using is /worldconfig blockGravity sandgravelsoil and nothing at all has helped.

Hello @Jeramie

Welcome.
Do you mean that if you place a block of sand or gravel against against a wall more than a block from the ground, that it does not fall?
Or that only soil does not fall?

(I am going to assume that you are on the latest stable release. If not, stop here and install that.)

First, confirm what value "blockGravity" has by entering this in game:
/worldconfig blockGravity

It should report back either "sandgravelsoil" or "sandgravel".
If your problem is only that soil is not falling and it says the latter, then that is the issue.
After changing this value, make sure that Vintage Story is restarted for it to take effect. Not on your client, but the server.

Next, disable ALL mods. Some mods are known to have block interactions. Restart Vintage Story and test again.
If it works now, then you need to isolate the mod.

Next, is to put on a mod that specifically works with the falling block files and implement that, and see if that works.
For example, Partial Landslides mod. This may be a better solution in any case.

Next, does this happen on a newly created test world, with that setting applied and no mods? 

Final step is to go through this post and attack the falling block files directly. I'm providing this more for complete information, than because I think you'll need it.
It is a kind of last resort:

Actually, logging a report at the Issue Tracker along with your log files is the true last resort:

Cover off the above groundwork before going through there though, because I had a scan through and there are no reported similar issues on falling blocks lately.

Let us know the results or any questions on any point above.

Professor Dragon.
