What do people like more spawn buttons for their building materials or a large stack to pull from? Im making a map and I'm not sure what is better. I know that the spawn button is better in the way that material isnt sucking up resources by just sitting there. But what is better?

From a developer's perspective, I am in favour of spawn buttons. Players tend to spawn, carry, freeze, repeat, which means during build mode there are never really more than 10-15 blocks being calculated by the server at any one time.

However, it does lend players the option of flooding the map with blocks (although v2 will ship with a server CVAR that will allow admins to limit the number of blocks spawnable on a map. My suggestion would be to use spawners - it's far better for performance and gives users more freedom in the long run.

Right now I would go with the spawner option.

Also, I'd like to point out you may want to make a block removal bin. If people do spam, the other users can delete the blocks by throwing them into the bin. (use trigger_physics_trap for this, and disable during fight mode)

i like the stacks personally, because you dont have to "wait" to get a block. plus im larger servers, people line up for blocks

I would have to recommend spawners, but I would put a couple either side of the fort site.
