I never thought you were being inflammatory and Would prefer a discussion like is occurring to rants like some of the other threads in the past have devolved into
This is true but why is this important? Is there some need to clear space on the permanent planets? If we want more permanent planets then do the ones we have now need to be more crowded anyway?
There already are whales in the game that have 50-100k plots ready to go, if they need them for a rental planet. They can already plot a ton and give away āfreeā space on their rental. It will happen regardless.
Okay those people most likely earned those plots also.
Did they? If they had a 200% backer plot bonus did they earn them? or buy them?
So does anyone that buys cubits instead of grinding, or someone that decides to spend extra money to rent a planet. There are many things that arenāt considered āfairā.
What I see is key in this type of comment is that on a private world you donāt have to secure ALL land and instead only land you expect to āchangeā (to protect from regen). On a Public world we need to secure ALL land so it is not taken over by another person. So those using private planets already have a huge advantage over those that wonāt play on it.
Plus a Private world player can still have ALL the things they have on Public. So they donāt need to keep their mall, workshop, etc and instead lower down that āland ownershipā. This means the plots should be just fine if they are already using them. In fact they should have more because they donāt need to secure ālandā.
Yes the 200% bonus they āearnedā by being a backer.
Buying cubits to buy plots are yes earned plots in my eyes.
Well buying a planet and getting perks for it is fair too. Just like in any other game.
I donāt know where you stand on needing āunlimited private plotsā or notā¦ but if someone is doing that 100 plot then then there is no need to have unlimited plots.
Yes that is why it should be the same on Private worlds. Keep the system as it is. People decide where to put their plots outside whether they buy a private planet or not. Easiest solution with least coding changes and fair for all people.
Buying a planet is buying a private space. Thatās it, not buying plots for pennies.
your renting it i wonder what happen if you stop paying rent do your plots go into some kind off weird limbo then if it isnt unlimited
they should rename it from renting a planet to moderating a planet
OK fair enough and since I backed the game it is good to know. So if I rent a planet spent money just like I did to earn the backer bonus, what is the difference? I bought cubits and then exchanged that for plots. . so I bought the cubits and the backer bonus and got me additional plots without ever having to even move a rock in the game. So ding something in game is not necessary to earn plots.
They are still held on the planet until you reclaim them.
The difference is your not being handed unlimited plots. Infinite compared to an actual number is the difference.
It isnāt the āadd/removeā on your plot count that it is the issue. It is how it links to the WHOLE plot system which is VERY complicated. Of course I donāt know all the technicals and if there is a quick fix or not, but I do certainly know that every time they try to go into something they find a large amount of other things that need to change ā hence why Private Planets have taken so long to release as they worked on it the past few months.
They said if you stop paying, it is saved for awhile. We donāt know for how long.
And yes, if you allow people to plot on your planet, you are the moderator. āSovereign Leaderā
OK on a planet that I am paying for and unless a player is willing to tear up possibly a years worth of work they may not even have the plots to use it
they once told they stored the beta planets āofflineā so i think forever then
The plots can be earned or bought. Just like it has been.
And unfortunately yes some people would have to sacrifice old builds to bring about a new.
