Current public planet chunk count
288 * 288 = 82 944 chunks
Current public planet plot count
82 944 * 4 * 32 = 10 616 832 plots
(288 * 288 * 4 * 32)One plot costs 30 cubits
10 616 832 * 30 = 318 504 960 cubits
(288 * 288 * 4 * 32 * 30)Cost of cubits in when getting 15k cubit packages
318 504 960 / 15 000 * 99.99 money
(288 * 288 * 4 * 32 * 30 / 15000 * 99.99)
= 2 123 156.06336 money

Itās like couch-surfing
You donāt own it, you take care of it, and you might help out a little here and there in exchange. Maybe pay a little towards the water bill.

OK it was 36 regions only on the one test planet I visited briefly I think? So a little bit less than this many monies if you wish to turn a public planet into a private sovereign planetā¦ This seems a viable way of getting rid of that pesky monthly payment to me.
lmao, I love these analogies 
Sticking with rental though. You pay to live there, you get to decide on the furniture, you can let people into the house or notā¦ only difference I see is our landlords can turn up unannounced, or they can be invisible and they can also fly.
Basically The Invisible Superman is taking all our rent money dammit!
Now that should be a poll option. If you could steal a Sovereign planet, who would you steal it from?

You for proving my analogy was dumb.

This is a post I wrote in another thread, basically summarizing how I pictured the player worlds would be definedā¦ and funnily enough, it turns out the James liked this post so I dunno, was I almost close to on the moneyā¦ or is he just laughing at the sheer audacity of me to even assume anything at all?
You decide people.

Heās drunk with power! When you are blacklisting people just remember that I make great popcorn, coffee and mixed drinks.
It will be fun to see the ups and downs as these roll out. I doubt this is the last time we will see multiple 300-600 post threads for this release.

Over 2000 hours in Ark and I didnāt see this coming. It was the puppy face that made me lower my guard.

The sheer audacity of some people!!! That was my popcorn!!! Well I think I was being offered popcorn? I want popcorn.
I guess it just shows you the anticipation that has been brewing for these worldsā¦ I hope people are prepared for the fact that they will be playing the exact same gameā¦ just on a different world while still spending 90% of their game time inside a workshop or looking through shelves for the resources they lost (misplaced) in the moving process or staring down the barrel of a bevel chisel at a piece of machined iron.

I wonāt complain if thatās how it is, just would be a shame from the terraforming aspect to have to wait for creative worlds. Iāve been wanting to see something like this since launch:
Weāre talking 10,000+ plots for that. Iām not gonna do it even if I have unlimited plots, but if someone does you can be sure Iāll be taking everyone I know to see it and showing people who donāt play the game.

I would lay out these 10,000 plots for you if you just build me the ultimate portal trap that lands them dead centre in the middle of this beast without them realizing before itās too late. I have some friend/grapple deaths I need to repay.

Iāve been waiting for this since 2017. I love seeing all the builds people make, but I hate it when someone puts a build right next to mine and its a giant floating block with no thoughts behind it. I also feel really bad for sucking up large portions of a planet. This fixes both of those problems for me.

And this is why I am still optimistic despite my previous post of doom and gloom. These are indeed very very big issues to just about everyone who has played this game.

@DKPuncherello can you add a question specific to the āmonthly bonus plotsā idea, about a good number? A lot of people write it off because 1000 is a lot. We should see how people would feel about getting one of the existing plot coffers as a bonus. That would max out at 80/mo or 88 for deluxers.
Personally, 88 plots would cover what Iām speculating I would use monthly for specific terraforming endeavors between builds/settlements.
Honestly I canāt believe people would argue about this āopen to feedbackā. Seems kind of ā¦ to do this. 
At the end of the day the Devs are ALWAYS open to feedback. People just need to understand that if the feedback doesnāt come with a good enough argument or proof or data/metrics to change James or the Devs mind then we get what they put in place. They do talk and discuss and work through each decision before they put it in place for release. Sometimes they might miss the mark but I think we see clearly that most of their decisions stick until enough good evidence comes to show why things should change. People miss most of the larger context and game design situations with their arguments or miss balance or other things so their feedback can easily miss the points to get change.

It should indeed say renting, but I can no longer edit the poll. 5 minute timeout. I think ppl know what it means though.
Sure, give me a question and answers and Iāll post it!
Hey, no worries DK thanks for trying anyway.
Iām happy to join the volcano project. Itās totally doable with a crew.
We could even put a bunch of glassed in forges in the mountainside for people who want to forge there.
