Zoric 26 is now open

Post by zaroba »

Zoric Enterprises has set up its headquarters on the planet of zoric

The company is growing fast and is now ready for the next step in business, outsourcing. ZE hereby invites all players to visit zoric and set up businesses to help ZE make the numerous items that it uses on a regular basis.

now, you might be asking, whats in it for you? well, money and a good time.
ZE will pay YOU to make the stuff and then we will BUY it from you. its a win win situation.

What kind of stuff will you be making?
All the items in the Zoric Spacestation
All the items in the Zoric Starport
Various items that get exported to other ZE controlled planets (such as Ciroz)
Various items that ZE uses in its normal everyday business practices.

What kind of stuff can you do?
besides making money and having a good time, you will also be able to use many things on the planet. Want to fly around in a Police Fighter before selling it to the spacestation export? feel free. Although there's some odd obscure intergalactic bylaws that specify you cannot fly around in your regular galaxy ship on a planet, ships made on the planet can legally be flown without worry of breaking any galactic laws. You can even take part in fighting with your ships using the weapons produced. However, EM Blasts cannot be used due to the obvious side effect of knocking out all the electronics on the planet, which would be bad. Gamma Ray Bursts can't either due to similar bad effects. There might also be ZE staff members that need side jobs done and they might offer nice rewards.

Zoric 26 has now opened.

Zoric Enterprises is hereby pleased to announce that Zoric 26 is ready for occupants and visitors. Besides all the stuff previously mentioned (in the first post of this topic), there are also some additional benefits to taking up residence and running businesses on the planet Zoric.

Zoric Enterprises has decided to go ahead with its plans of introducing business automation and nano-technology into the buildings of the world. This means that you will not have to worry about employees at all. no unions, breaks, benefits, etc to worry about. you can sit back and relax while your buildings make you money. another pleasant side effect of the nano-technology is that buildings wont decay nearly as fast as they do on other planets.

Also decided upon was the decision to provide free food and housing to the residents of the world. so you will never have to worry about going hungry or having a bed to sleep in. All citizens of Zoric will get a free apartment in one of the residential towers on the world. However, if you would like your own private house to store stuff in and live in, you can freely build one. they are cheap, only 100s. you will still receive the free meals and thus never have to worry about going hungry.

besides that, as an added bonus to becoming a citizen of the world, Zoric Enterprises will pay you a free 100s a month (2.5 hours) for other expenses you might incure.


as for starting businesses, very easy.
there are two things you can do to get started on your path to wealth. one is to learn Build Production and build a Well, the other is to fish. Wells make water for .6d per, this water can be sold to Food and Drink export next to the starport for 3d per. its easy money. Fish can be caught for free in the rivers and ponds on the world and be sold for 5d per to the same export as the water. And with the high tech fishing poles supplied, you don't even need to do any reeling in. the pole will sense when there is a fish on the line and reel it in for you.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

in non-role play terms

zoric 26 has reset.
there's no hunger/thirst, so you don't need a house but can build one anyway if you want
there's no jobs so your forced to collect unemployment, which is 100s a game month
you can have up to 25 buildings
self stock is allowed
fishing is automatic, so you can fish overnight and come back to a lot of fish on you.

inactivity timer, 20 game years. but might change/remove it
building decay is quite slow as well. if my math is correct, it will take 21 years and 9 months for a building to collapse
