DrenDran's WIP Economy Server --- How long do I make a year?

[ZERØ]

I don't know what Dren did but, every time I join the server Blockland gets a runtime error and occasionally a missing file on load.

Dren keeps adding datablocks while the server is running
since its a old add-on it forgets up the game. I don't think that add-on was ever working anyways.

Why is it snowing national socialist Swatstikas in the spawn room?

Cops can now baton bricks near weed even if the owner doesn't have demerits.
You may now defend yourself against an attacker without penalty.
There are now fines for being jailed depending on sentence length and how much money you have.


A crude form of mining is almost ready.


edit: A height limit has been put on agricultural. Residential has no height limit and building there is half as expensive.

I presume you did this to halt the glory of the Berry Tower.

No seriously, I'd like to know the reason why the height limit was added

I think I'm still the biggest criminal.
Heh.

Because what farm is in a skyscraper?
If you want to make a tower, make it in Residential.

But why? Now the farms have to be really long.

People are starting to fund this stuff, here is an article on it:

Heck there us an entire article wikipedia about it:

It should be allowed, it never bothered anyone, what bothers people is the douchebags that are hoarding the trains and the frequent chat spammers.

A commercial high-rise farm such as 'The Vertical Farm' has never been built, yet extensive photographic documentation and several historical books on the subject suggest that research on the subject was not diligently pursued.[4] New sources indicate that a tower hydroponicum existed in Armenia prior to 1951.[5]

it's just because nobody develops anything in residential, residential is where people need to make thier houses, and business headquarters.

[synthesispandabot]

isn't this a freebuild basically? why would a freebuild have a height limit?

If that wasn't a value enough reason, then why is it so bad that people do this, people just don't build in residential, many people on the server even say residential should be remove.

It feels more like a city rp now, and to some people it may be a good thing, in my opinion I'm kind of neutral on it, but I have to say I dislike it now, why not just have a farming server be left a farming server? Why keep trying to make it into a economy simulator.

If you want to hear my personal opinion its this: The farm server should be a farm server.

Now I'm not telling you what to do nor am I forcing you, but That's what I would do, but if Dren wants to turn the farm server into a
Pseudo City RP server then that's up to him and you.

Honestly though why not add a buyable train pass so that people don't hoard the only form of fast transportation, because you need to be in the server for a while to have jets.

Farming gets boring after a while and I want to continue having a popular server?
I mean you can only farm for so long until you've "beaten the game" so to speak, then what? Leave? Stay to brag about your money?
There needs to be something else to do besides just harvest and plant the same plants over and over again.

Possible. What's probably going to happen is this:

• People buy drivers licenses for $1100.
• Cars cost a few thousand dollars
• Jet price is made even higher, as cars are the new middle ground between walking/trains and jets.

I just wish there were train cars with more than two seats.

There's a height limit now? stuff, now I won't be able to build my 14-story megafarm. Damn it.

Will you ever release a plain farm gamemode so someone could host without all the added rp content?
