HoveringOnions Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 So, I liked playing economic based games where you would collect materials, and possibly start off with a "baseplate" which you could expand for money, after selling or refining materials and selling it to a shop. My idea would be a "city" kind of place, where everyone lives relatively close, and starts with their own walled off baseplate for start off with, there would be a board for basic materials and some refined materials "gem" costs (It would require spawning), and the gems would be the currency for your bases "expansion". The end goal isn't to have the biggest base, but its to make it seem like a tycoon kind of playstyle where you have to save up your gems for this instance, to expand and make your land better. I know this wasn't very specific, and I don't run or know a server like this, but would you play something like this? I'd love something like this. Starting off in an 8X8 and needing to give resources to a shop in which I get the gems I required to make it 14x14 or something like that. It would also incorporate teamwork since trading would be a massive aspect in this. "One-Time" items like Chester would not be tradable to the shop, since items like that once found by one person could have no real set price, since people value chester differently, or hutch, so unless everyone started with one, it would have no real economic value.

Arlesienne Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Tell me more and you shall get one. With the moderator's post for you, in fact. No idea how you handle RP-ing in this scheme though. I'd like to know more. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/70587-rp-based-economic-server-idea/#findComment-821058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea how you handle RP-ing in this scheme though. I'd like to know more. I just threw in RP for it to be classified as Social instead of forcing it down peoples throats as you are required to work together, since it isn't, nothing is stopping you from trying to solo all it. I don't know if there is any "shop" mod that you can have an input and output system, say 10 boards and you get outputted a gem that would be the current cost for those boards. If it could be manually changed in game, then the costs could be changed everyday so it seems like an economy where items suddenly sell for a lot more for less of the materials. It could use aspects from all parts of the game, possibly an item you need for a big base boundary update could be a One Man Band, which would require you to progress upwards in crafting, or it could be a luck thing and you would need a dragonfruit for one of the gems you'd need to upgrade. It was just a random idea I had floating around in my head since I remember some games I use to play, and it was so fun just starting with $50 and then making your way up from $50 to have this massive base with machines and everything everywhere. If this is even possible, I wouldn't know how to "maintain" it, probably admins or something or maybe a sign that can take in items and knows how to "claim and expand" land, if not, it would just have to be a trust system with admins, and players would just pay an admin the gems that the admins would just throw away afterwards or something to stop cheating and the admin would manually build on the extra parts. I wouldn't know what to do about items like Deerclops Eye, I wouldn't want that to be an upgrade unless it was more common, but then Deerclops would come by alot and be annoying. It was only a mere brainstorm, but if it was possible, even if some of it had to be done manually, I wouldn't mind playing or hosting one if it ever became possible. I am going to be in work again soon so I'd have money to do something like this if people would want it, and it was possible.

I hope someone create something like this I'd love to see something like this, but the problem would be if it was possible, I wouldn't know how popular it would be if it ever came to be, and or if it would "stay" very long until people finished upgrades and we had to give them something new. Maybe personal allotments for farms would be cool. A teleporter sign system that has ALLOTMENTS, STORAGE, and maybe BASES would be cool. It also makes it all spaced out.

I'm AWED! If not it would just have to be forum users who join, and have a bookmarked post of the daily prices for items and gem costs or something like that. I only thought social would make sense for the RP aspect kind of thing since you would probably be expected to be social if you were RP'ing.. Unless you're that one person who Roleplays as Wes. As Wes. "..." I exclaimed at the top of my voice. If not RP then just social, people being talkative would help make it friendly and make friends. I don't think it could be run everyday since that would just mean someone would play all day and finish with all the upgrades, probably would end up being a weekend run event thing or something idk.

Very descriptive, I just went straight down to the Wes one.. That looks like a good mod, just have to make it all fancy around the chest, and have to have gold nuggets as a trade currency for the chest, and the gold nuggets will be the economy fund, which you would exchange for gems to upgrade your base. It will be like a really, crappy business simulator!

HoveringOnions Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 He stands in one of the tighest alleyways ever after a scene where there is some zombie with an axe that is trying to murder you and some guy that have somehow been chained together, and some really bad quicktime event where you both make it so the axe smashes the chains nd you escape and boom hello mr creepy merchant.. The game is really weird, there is like a holdout point in a house and if you shoot the guy you were chained up with, even in his head, they give you a bad cutscene where you like shot him in the shoulder and then he just shoots you to death.. I need to start looking into more anime mods and cartoon character mods, the only one few I used a bit was Neopolitan and Ruby. 11 minutes ago, Arlesienne said: That's his perk, I think.
