Farming - Ready to work again, what do I do now?

[DrenDran]

So my farming server is about to be hosted again. But this time it will be "RPG mode" rather than "Arcade mode." This means the server will be more about planning than constant maintenance and things will progress more slowly. As of writing this I've only just started work rescripting but here are some proposed changes:

• Watering crops manually is going to be phased out. The watering can may remain, but will be very impractical to use.
• The old sprinkler brick is being replaced with an entire irrigation system consisting of multiple bricks.
  • There is a pump brick which will be relatively expensive. It is the center of any irrigation system, and you'll probably only need one.
  • There are chemical dispensers which will allow you to add weedkiller and fertilizer to the water.
  • There are valve bricks to control the flow of water.
  • There are sprinklers you put on top of pipes, those these will be quite cheap.
  • There are of course a few different types of pipe to carry the water.
• Once you have your pump set up, adding new sprinklers will cost far less than in the previous arcade mode.
• Crops will take a few days to a week to die of overgrowth.
• Annual crops like corn, tomatos, potatos, and wheat will take roughly 6 hours on average to grow.
• Perennial crops like blueberries and grapes will take a day to reach maturity and will then provide fruit every few hours.
• You will have limited inventory space. Perhaps about 10 high-yield crop brick's worth of produce.
  • You will be able to buy storage chests to store extra produce if you do not feel like selling it immediately.
  • These crates will have a slight decay penalty, starting at about 5% per day and decreasing with better chests.
  • You will be able to upgrade your inventory space as well.
• Lots are now 96x96 instead of 64x64
• Lots allocate from the center outwards unlike last time.
• The center lot will be a tutorial lot with a shop to buy upgrades and a leaderboard of players with the highest net-worths.
• Basic soil bricks will be far cheaper than in arcade mode. They may only cost a few times what a normal brick of its size would cost.
• Soil bricks will need to be placed on the ground.

Update: there's a lot of checks that require the admin to have BL_ID 22749, which was my old BL_ID.
I'll see if I can remove them. If not, try changing the BL_ID to your BL_ID.

Also this mod requires two or three add-ons, and should be used with a default minigame that gives you the tools from this mod
The commands propinit(); and resetTime(); should be entered in console when the game is started, then a day/night cycle must be activated.

If you can make it more configurable it would be great, I'd like to see a Classic Faming server from before weather was added, and to have the whole cop system removed so its just barebones farming without any of the City RP stuff added, including the obnoxious license thing.

This was really fun to play every time I remember playing. I think I have a newer version of this somewhere on my PC dating to 2014 or something so I'll post it if I have it.

This is an awesome game man. Good job.

I feel like the idea of this mod could have been made great. Oh well.

I can't place anything, it says that the owner of the lot is offline.

I'm actually quite tempted to actually develop a small arcade-like version of this without all the complexities. But I haven't played BL in a few years.

i remember this being a lot of fun until some overly complex stuff got put in. thx for sharing

Would anyone be interested if I actually made a simpler arcade version of this and hosted it?

I've got a VPS, and I've had two or three people asking me to do so.
