Yay block puns woo...So basically this is a server with elements from Rise of Blockland and CityRP. You select a job, get money, buy a lot, build a place, all the normal things for this type of server. Except I wanted to put a focus on simulating an economy. As such, virtually all money has to be made from something, unlike in CityRP where you make money for just being on the server.
We used to use the RoB gui, but as I kept making changes, I figured that wouldn't work.
This is the GUI design I'm going to use, even though it's a WIP.
It will display stats about the server, the lot you're standing on (buy and sell buttons to be added) and yourself.
As you can see, there are various resources:
These are the four basic finished goods:
- Food --- You eat this at about 1 per minute, and use a little bit while building.
- Gas --- You use this to jet and power vehicles
- Tech --- Used to make color and shape fx, JVS content, certain events, lights, emitters, and music.
- Material --- Basic building material.
These are raw resources, they may be used on their own, but are mostly made into other things:
- Iron --- You mine this.
- Zinc --- You mine this, requires a better pickaxe.
- Tin --- You mine this.
- Copper --- You mine this, requires a better pickaxe.
- Grain --- You grow these.
- Fruit --- You grow these.
- Wood --- You find various kinds of trees and chop them down.
Oil is collected by finding oil wells and placing a cap on them, then waiting for it to collect all the oil, higher springs give more oil:
Mining is done in mines, there are four metals of different colors, you can buy machines to refine the ore, and upgrade your pick:
Farming starts with buying a crop brick, of various different types of crops, including grain and fruit types.
Crops have seven stages, new, growing, growing, growing, ready, more ready, and dead.
You need to water crops in every stage by clicking them, and you harvest with your tool, which will reset the plants even if you harvested too early:
(Note I'll probably get models or something for the plants, rather than just having it be colors.)
There are different reactions/combonations between the various materials you can make like fertilizer is zinc and iron, and stronger materials (For building higher) are iron and wood, but I'll add those in later.
Currently there is a 5x5 grid of city blocks.
Each block has four 32x32 lots, which can be bought indivdually.
Roads may also be purchased, but there are restrictions on what you can do to them.
The center will include public buildings, such as the spawn, the bank, and the jail.
I had to go afk while writing this, so I decided I'd post it so I didn't lose it, and finish it later.[/list][/list]
