Also, I was told to post my suggestion for industrial lots on this thread:
I've noticed that there's a lack of entry-level jobs that are profitable on this server. You can mine trees and then use your labor money to start a business, but even if you sell guns and ammo at no markup, you'll still be undercut by stores with higher level shopkeepers *cough* sleven *cough*. I've also noticed that there's this neat feature with the price of labor and ore that you could use to adjust for supply and demand.
So my idea is that with industrial lots, you could make a system where Entrepreneurs can purchase bulk lumber/ore and bring it to their business and manufacture goods with it. This manufacturing will take some amount of time, and the time it takes to complete could vary based on other factors (maybe even factory workers coming to work on it? *hint hint*). Then, the factory owner packs up the goods into a vehicle (storage size could depend on vehicle type) and brings it to a dock for exportation. After that, they make some form of profit.
Not only would this allow players to make money in a new way, but it would allow people to turn a profit by selling products that aren't dependent on a player-base that seldom buys anything from shops.
