What? 2 max building types?

Post by 252-rer »

I found out that there is a max of 2 buildings of diffrent types you can own. Why is this, oh is it only on zoin? thats really usless. why just diffrent types i only have 2 and they are diffrent types:P i would think there would mabey be a larger limit or a limit on the same type of building. You cant stock your buildings with your own items:P so thats not why this is. you cant buy or sell things from your own building.. right? i mean there is no point to that if you take it out of stock.
whats the point of this
ps mabey 5 types sound better or at lest 3:P

The building types limit, like most things, is a setting controlled by the world owner. (In Zion's case, me. )

The point of this is to force people to specialise into particular industries. By limiting it, players have to choose to make their money either in the 'oil industry' or the 'vehicle industry' or whateva. Personally I like it and think it makes the game tougher and makes the economy more 'realistic'... obviously not everyone will agree :)

... but mit one industry has 3 buildings:P or more
like for metal you have the mine then the steel factory then the1 of 3 outlet stores:P
for oil you have the drill then the refinery then the gas station.
These are about the minimun number buildings chain of production that are possible.
the only one i can think of with just 2 is the carbon fiber to stunt tractor.

aye, and that means you need to have one person producing oil and another selling it as fuel - meaning you gotta work together to be able to get anywhere.

ok but like i said you would have to anyway because you cant transfer your own stock from one building to another you own correct so if someone oned an oil rig and took that it wouldnt let them put it in thier refinery anyway:P and if they took the fuel it made they couldnt put it in thier gas station right too? what would have to happen is they need the other people to buy thier oil then sell it to their refinery (which is what goes on) then wait bad example ppl cant buy your gas... so you would have to stock other ppl and they would stock you.

[edit]im just saying you have a system that wount let you run an economy by yourself and then you also have only 2 diffrent building a player can own. it seems kida redundent if you ask me.

You can do that too.. thats 4 buildings but 2 different types. (Oil derrick and ore mine are both 'production' types,. the refinery and factory are 'maunifacturing' types).
