Economy/Resource System

As the creator of the idea itself, I just want to throw out there-- Economy, might be hard to make. But it's up to players to produce it, ultimately. To create something new with what they're given.


Resource system.
There will be spawned trees for players to cut down, and mines itself spawned which will have them ingame.
NPCs that respawn every five hours and ore in them ines that respawn but will be filled to the brim with the ore itself.
Time for the ore to respawn is unplanned at the moment, but it will be long to encourage not farming constantly.

Also, guilds itself (factions) will earn an x amount weekly dependent on what their location is. And building speed will depend on people involved who can work on objects itself.


Just giving the ideas out there.

Thoughts?

make respawn time 24 hours

imo random respawn time between 6 and 30 hours

Make it 10-30 if random respawns can be coded.

With Trinity, I think that's doable.

We'll see.

So we'll be able to choose if we want something close to the old currency or "THat's a shiny rock...Trade ya for it?"

Or perhaps for the more magically inclined, small shards of some mana imbued titan material? It'll be up to the players to establish a working economy and trade system?

Depends on the roleplay itself.
I'm sure there'd be gold on the planet that people could find, as well as gold they'd have themselves.

I would be surprised if some of the people who got the new planet didn't bring their wallets.
I bet some of them will already have some gold.

But in my opinion, forcing the players to come up with a new economy, trade system, etc is too much to ask for them.
We should at least help them with it through NPCs.

A bartering system would be fun. If someone wants something from another person they gotta figure out what that person wants.

Add farm animals and agricultural products to the barter system.

You can't eat what comes out of a mine very well, and take my word for it, wood needs a LOT of ketchup to get down. This should be the only real farming available to players. Domesticated animals were a major part of medieval bartering systems (Cows, sheep, chickens, pigs, etc.) Shouldn't be hard to spawn a few farm animals once players/factions figure out how to tame certain animals.
