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

this might be a bit of a hot take on it, but.... It is hard to make these systems feel any less than magic, as your still moving many tonnes equiv of ore magically through the air to a reciever box in the base under the new system. i think the disconnect is trying to make things make more real world sence in a game that already defies logic on so many levels. (eg teleport beacons, unlimited non diminishing resorces, near instant regrowth forests, magic loot box replenishment etc) to that end save some dev time and players 5 mins at the start of the wipe and just ignore needing to visit each structure and place a magical teleport beacon. just make the magical resorce giving box the entire thing feed it the right fuel for the resorce your gathering and just have a power button for each resorce node with the upgrade button beneath it with the automation adaptors for each output type. just my 5 cents on the concept. call it a deep vein drill and say for the sake or realism that its extracting the resorces below where it is placed given all resources come out of the ground in rust anyways... can you got 1 step thurther and add a water outlet to it as well? given we have options for in land premium water sources anyways? may as well make it a 1 stop resorce hub, than add a recycler on the side so we can pipe waste boxes into it to get our other stuff (combines most of the premium shop items into a nice upgradable black box to handle all our resources and premium features) than not sure if its possible, but web hook it back to the rustez store, so you can manage the entire thing in game without needing to visit the webstore we may as well integrate the premium features into a nice fully in world all in 1 interface can we also get upgradable planter boxes please?

Well, subscriber gets the store & black market discount and now includes VIP perks, apparently, so it's not exactly like we're getting nothing other than the pink name and only fans announcement.

i'm definitely looking forward to the magical hopper update, despite Death saying we're not getting any more magic, the magic keeps gathering?

We aren't interested in adding anymore "magic" features to the server. Our current system for vehicles is already pretty forgiving when it comes to crashing, etc.

the player takes damage , but the hazmat does not take any damage

I don't suppose you would add /mymini /myattack or /myscrappy as a perk ONLY for subscribers, you could even go as far as having them have unlimited fuel. Now you can still make it need fuel and it could be like a 5 or 10 min cool down if it blows up and or you despawn it. I know you can buy it in the /shop but for new subscribers that may be poor or just don't want to spend nw can access. Also make it accessible across all servers. If possible, even the vanilla ones and or the ones it will let you, like the no decay vanilla ones. This will give more players a reason other than loving the severs to become a subscriber and more subs means more revenue to help fix them servers to help get them plug ins working more. Vip has plenty of perks so it shouldn't be for them. But is still accessible since you can own both. Now subscriber will give: 1.Cool colored name 2.Helps support the server 3. /mymini or /myattack or /myscrappy with a 5 to 10 min cool down and or unlimited fuel. idk just a thought.
