zoric reset - zoric 23 now open

Post by zaroba »

going to reset zoric sometime. possibly next week or over the weekend

currently in the process of making the new bdat.

need some input on the ideas i have for the setup:

general setup
- there will be no hunger/thirst, but there will be 60+ buildings for everything else though. i don't think there are enough active players to get a full food line running along with making other stuff as well.
- the economy will be more complex and more detailed. i will be looking online to find out the stuff that goes into making various things like vehicles fuel etc and possibly replicating it in the bdat.
- many buildings will have small/medium/large versions. these will all produce at the same rate and cost though, so the only benefit to owning a large building instead of a small one will be owning less buildings and being able to have more stuff in stock.
- all bottom level stuff will be very cheap to make, all retail things will be cheap to make as well since these do not actually produce anything.
- all retail buildings that sell usable stuff will buy stuff in 'boxes' to unpack. so no using stuff directly from a factory.
- jobs are questionable. still don't know whether or not to put them in, and if they go in, how much of an effect they will have. if i put them in, they probably wont effect anything at all in the buildings and will be covered 100% by the gov, so the only use for them will be to get some extra cash for your character.

vehicles
- 3 cars and 2 planes
- each car will be upgradable and have 4 versions. the facs will make level 1 of the vehicles, then you can take them to a separate fac to change them to level 2, 3, or 4 of the vehicle.
- don't know what the cars will be yet
- planes will be the standard biplane and helicopter
- theres 6 extra vehicle slots don't yet have a use, but holidays are coming up :P
- everything will use fuel. for cars, the level will reflect the fuel usage. a level 2 car will use double that of a level 1 car.
- the cars will all be the same for each level. all level 1s will be the same, all level 2s will be the same, etc. so it will just be a matter of design preference.

You're right, that's exactly what's wrong with 420 currently

fertilizer/water-->grain/water-->cows-->steaks-->can be eaten, but lowers health if overconsumed

water--> can be used to drink

Fertilizer/water-->Vegetables-->can be eaten, increases health when consumed
