Hello, I Was wondering if any1 know how to reduce the size of the land marks from 64x64. I would like to make it so they do not go so big because of server lag

Blergh, I am derp. Previous post snipped and strikethroughed because dumb. To my knowledge, there's no way to reduce the maximum size of landmarks from 64x64 in config files. There's no option like this in the client-side config, but the server config may be different. Go to config (wherever this folder is located on your server, probably /minecraft/config) and then choose the buildcraft folder. Search through any and all config files there. If there is such an option in Buildcraft (although my guess is that there isn't) that's where you'd be able to change it.

 

My previous ramblings and stupidity:

Landmarks can be changed to any size you want that is less than a 64x64x64 cube; however, the shape must be a rectangular prism, a cube, a rectangle or a square (i.e. rectangles on all faces of the object you "draw" with the landmarks, even if two-dimensional.) Simply position them so that they form a rectangle (the rectangle can be any size; if you're running a quarry, anything less than 3x3 won't work, however) and right-click one of the landmarks. Provided that there are no blocks obscuring the line-of-sight from any landmark to any other landmark (except diagonals) then the rectangle should form with red lines to denote it. You can then place a Quarry, Filler, or some other Buildcraft machine adjacent to one of the Landmarks to set it up with the proper dimensions.

 

If you're trying to run a Filler, Builder or some other machine that doesn't just dig down, you'll need a three-dimensional space (a rectangular prism/cube) which requires placing one of the landmarks several blocks below one of your rectangle's corners and then right-clicking the landmarks to set proper dimensions.

 

If you've accidentally placed a Quarry adjacent to some oversized landmarks, simply pick the quarry back up, position the landmarks so that they form a smaller rectangle and give it another go.

 

Even if you aren't creating a Landmarked area of size 64x64, right-clicking a single Landmark will cause it to display red lines with a distance of 64 blocks in all directions. This merely indicates the reach of that one landmark and, provided you've not placed any landmarks on the same line with that landmark, is merely an indicator of its reach and has no influence on the actual area of the Landmark.

It sounds like he's wanting to limit the size players are able to use landmarks to define an area on his server, not just create a smaller area for himself...
