Would it be one Hopper Station deployed per public quarry/pj for the automation, or would you be able to control multiple from one hopper station? Any thoughts on the projected cost in the black market for the hopper station? Would the quarry be injected into the playtime weekly claimable rewards?

are we playing rust or pokemon go though

..and free if your name is in red lol

new tier idea: supporter: a subcription for those that would normally buy everything anyway to support their server / community comes with everything fully upgraded each month comes with xx amount premium tokens to purchace extra items from the web store gives discord rank: pillar of the community same or slightly better discount perk from subscriber tier

If it breaks we'll extract more money from you to fix it.

@DeathWould you add the new red recycler as a webstore purchasable item when it arrives in game ? (it is 75% recycle & 4 seconds)

Yeah I'm not a fan of this idea, I like the/rec perk. One of the reasons ai play on this server. It has helped me out many times. As far as "magic" goes and things wanting to seem more like realism, let's face it this is a video game we are talking about. You can only make it seem so "real" a few things is no big deal.

somehow i get the feeling that this is where it's heading, to extract as much money from the players to help with the cost of the new so called " system", but what happens when the new "system" breaks, and it takes several days to rectify.?

Changed Status to Working

what is a mass goosing out of curiosity

If you are off-line and you leave any unclaimed then the auto claim works ?

from a quick read of the community server and hosting guidelines they appear to support selling your own server currency?. so on the surface that shouldnt be an issue?

so they allow 3rd parties to sell in game items for real world cash but dont allow selling a in game token to be used for redeeming the same items?? genuine question there as i am not farmiliar with the ins and outs of the TOS regarding monitization.

but adds way more overhead to make that system work defeating the whole point

There are rules in Facepunches TOS from doing such a thing

it achieves the other goal stated by death of cutting the overall entity count down with everything merged into a single entity

tldr you build the black box not buy it.... (to encourage some initial game farming) the item acts as an ingame hub for store item procurement and services using a premium currency purchaced from the web store to ground the system in game. so you get to provide ALL the premium items for a currency that is only acquired from the web store (the EZcoin) so the 1 grand EZ service hub for each players base everything can be bought and used and it recieves and provides the various automated resorces all the upgrades are still purchaced using glorious cash via the ezcoin.

did you read the part where it was suggested to use a premium currency purchaced from the web store ?? i know there is a bit there but read the 3 posts in full it covered the monitization...

the problem with that is those items in the webstore are used to help pay for the running of the servers If you add them to a Item that can be brought from the Black-market it then lessens the webstore sales which then could mean the servers are no longer paying to keep themselves running

yep i literally said in what you quoted you already offer it as a premium service it was a suggestion of a merge of all the premium services into the one black box deployable

Ok correct me if I’m wrong @Death but it seems to not auto claim anything gained in the current session. I assume when it does checks on refresh it goes off saved data that only gets written to on disconnect. Therefore any progress made during the current session isn’t counted hence why there is a few players commenting they didn’t receive their last reward even though they were logged in at the time and should have accumulated enough during that session. this is how it’s working from my experience and testing

This will never be a thing on the EZ servers due to how much it would be abused. Having the players place the Beacons to unlock the TP spot helps to encourage players to get out of their base and actually travel to the locations of the TP at the start of wipe. This sounds very much like a PvP element which is not something we are interested in adding to the servers. Who's to say that the box isn't piped underground to the Quarry's that it is connected to. This sounds like the Land water pump we have on the webstore.

another concept would be to make them a deployable over the railway line so than it gives you the feeling of realism of material transport (given rust is slowly linking monuments and requireing power in the future to be accessable) maby expand on that concept ahead of time and encourage base building along the rail network and have people run rail cars to the various monuments to collect their liquids and physical items (the train yard unloading dock could be replicated as a player entity) (you could also use the car system to make players haul resorces back in bulk as an alternative to the train so players are not forced to use the rail network. this could also add the game play dimension of people hijacking your train while moving it back to base or even have npc try to blow up the train, this would add whole new dimensions of game play to the resource gathering loop if your wanting to go for "realistic" game play elements. this would help move away from the afk near free resorce generation loop and encourage active game play on the servers.

forgot to add.... please make the black box somewhat expensive so people have to do some farming initially so maby 2k hiqual 1k scrap 10k metal 10k stone 20k wood. that way it adds some time investment to playing the game before you get your magical black box for the black box itself merge the quarry / pump jack / water well / vending machine and recycler into a fixed asset that can only be placed on a 3x3 foundation maby add some greebleing and other elements to it the vending machine/shop can be the in game version of the rust ez store make it use a fake currency called EZcoin than sell just the ezcoin in the webstore
