DrenDran's Farming Server. (Anyone still want to play)

You should add bugs, weeds and possibly flowers to make this more complicated than just doing a boring job of waiting for plants to grow. Bugs would work like this:

Bugs

Once you get to the second or third stage of growth, bugs will begin to go on your plant. There will be bees, wasps, ladybugs, caterpillars, yellow jackets, spiders, black widows, butterflies and aphids. Click your plant to see what bugs are on your plant. Bugs will have info on them and some might attack you.

Bees: They're probably hanging out or pollinating. You can check for hives. Best not to harvest while they are on it. (Give them a 25% chance of attacking you if you're harvesting while they're on it.)
Sting Damage: 4 and bug goes away.

Wasps: Like bees, they're probably just hanging out except they won't pollinate. Unlike bees, they can sting you up to three times. Strongly recommended you leave them alone. (Give them a 50% chance of attacking you if you harvest with some on it.)
Sting Damage: 4 and bug can attack additional times then goes away. (If they sting you, gives a 25% chance they'll do it again, then a 5% chance they'll do it again.)

Ladybugs: Whoa! These dudes dudettes eat aphids. Best not to kill bugs while they're on them. They will help you on your plant and won't even attack you! (Eats aphids on your plant.)

Caterpillar: They might look cuddly, but they're actually eating your plant! Remove them! Some will turn into butterflies which will attack flowers.
Poisonous Caterpillar: Crap. Can't remove these guys without being poisoned (damage). Might have to risk using bug killer.
Poison Damage: 10, works like a sting.
Butterfly: Not made out of butter. They will go to your flower and eat the pollen which makes bees useless.

Yellow Jackets: These aggressive bugs will sting you right as you notice they're on your plant! Ouch!
Sting Damage: 10. Bug might not go away and could go to a different plant.

Spider: They eat bugs including ladybugs, they could attack you for harvesting and destroying their web. (50% chance of attack.)
Bite Damage: 15.

Black Widow: Eats everything, even the things you love (Ladybugs). WILL attack you for harvesting.
Bite Damage: A whopping 45.

Aphid: Oh, god. Get a ladybug here now! They come in groups and will eat your plant.

Weeds

Weeds kill your plant. Just kill them before they do. You might want to add an item or something that lets you kill them.

Flowers

I suggest flowers too. I'm guessing you could make them a second source of making money and using them for bees. Bees will (of course) spread the pollen from the flower to other flowers and plants which will boost their growth. Keep bad bugs off of them, though.
Is my idea okay? Please comment on it.

First thing I might make is bees.
They'll make random hives around the map that can be easily removed with a hammer. (and maybe bought...? maybe you could make honey...?)
But the more hives within a certain radius of the plant, the better it does.

I could add a destructive type of bug easily enough too. If I felt like it I could make a second set of plant models that are brownish/have spots on them, to represent bugs on them.

Not bad ideas.





but if i could get new types of plants, that'd be my first priority still
but since that doesn't seem to be happening....

Get some better admins on your server please.

whats going on?

whats going on?

Is running people over with skis and collecting money from them instead of farming allowed? (that was a serious question)

Racerboy got on a 15 kill spree with a vehicle before Magician finally banned him, and when he did it was only for 300 minutes. People are running around with the skis and killing and looting people and he just watches.

[Funkadelic]

Although I have yet to play this, but I definitely will, I think maybe it should cost money to buy building materials for structures. ya know, so you have something to work for.

Actually it is.
Cars cost 30000$
Shouldn't be too many of them. Plus it's not like they can get inside a house, or even over a short fence.

[Badger]

Actually you can just pop down the skies and smash into them.

[Conan]

dren i think weeds should work differently

weeds shouldn't kill your plants; rather, they'd take up open soil slots that stay unused for too long. spontaneous spawning would be rare but once it does the weed spreads more quickly to other soil blocks in the area (determined by zone)

and as for other plants, you could do something like a melon or pumpkin. the soil block would be a 4x4 brick to accommodate the larger size. It would function like the grapes but the respawn would take longer, and it wouldn't die as easily/quickly. and maybe you could hardlink it to some brick like the pumpkin brick which allows you to place pumpkin bricks.

What I love is I've gotten so many "offers" of people who say they'll make a model for me.
And yet no one has provided anything yet, and it's been a few days.
loving rediclious. I've wasted so much time I'm going to just stop asking for help and learn how to do it myself.

[Conan]

wait no dont
unless your modeling skills has improved since one year ago or something

[DrenDran]

wait no dont

nope
but whatever stuff I can make is better than nothing
I mean, all the models so far are mine, so it's nothing new.

Like I said, I've gotten no help.

If anyone wants to help.
Send me a message once you have finished.
I don't want to hear stuff about how you'll "maybe make a model when you have time".

Yeah that was a load of bull stuff. I wasn't going to say anything because tomorrow I'll be back to do the same thing anyway, but Magician is such a crap admin. I'm the only person who gets banned, reason "serial killer". Is this a loving joke? I was most certainly not the only person doing it, and it's not even against the loving rules. He just made it up out of nowhere.

[Nymph]

I'm still waiting for a sellout command, or like somew way to buy out a lot.

[EazyE]

If anyone wants to help.
Send me a message once you have finished.

youll get more help once you tell them they are the only ones doing it. it gives people more of a motive usually, or confirmation that you need it and they wish to help you.
