zoric 18 coming soon

[zaroba]

possibly on saterday, zoric 18 will open up.
the current zoric will be moved to sabrada so those that wish to continue playing it may still do so, but you'll need an infimp or stardrive to get there.

zoric 18 will be similer to the current zoric. but will include many changes and fixes to fix problems that were evident in the current world. some of the main fixes will be to change the dependency on things (chems are too needed on current zoric) and to try and encourage player trading despite the fact that theres still going to be self stocking allowed. also to help reduce the massive amounts of some items.

changes/fixes include:
more tech levels (0-7 instead of 0-4)
vehicles being easier to make, but also being a higher tech level to make better vehicles
small and large of the main buildings
less dependency on chems
more dependency on other base products
lower building capacity
per building limits on alot of the things (like how you can only own one carbon fibre fac on current zoric)
food and drinks will be needed more
food and drinks will be made easier and slower to prevent an easily flooded market
higher wealth tax. maybe 50% at 25k, 90% at 50k to make it harder to get super rich.
more job skill variety
building decay rates different for different building tech levels so higher the tech level, slower the decay. going to try and go with something like tech level + 1 = the # of real weeks a building will last.
buildings made only out of materials instead of cash and materials.

(possibly) weapon production line
(possibly) bounty system
(possibly) no bank. if there is a bank, it'll have a low max deposit limit of maybe 5-10k


theoretically, when the world starts, everything will be slow, small, and decay fast. as it slowly advances, better buildings will be available for around the same cost as the cheap ones. it wont be perfect, and will still have problems to work out. zoric 19 will be even more towards this theory, where the economy advancement would depend on how old the world is, and no matter when a player starts, they could 'jump right in' with stuff that matches the worlds average tech level. in the long run...a realistic true economy that naturally and slowly evolves like technology has in real life.

Chill dude

If it's during fight night, there won't be much of a head start anyways.

i cant wait at all. current zoric seems to unrealistic or something like that, bcuz of chem dependancy. zoric 18 sounds like it will be more balanced, but zaroba plz make a bank with no max bcuz it makes me feel safer and secure .
