It sounds to me that blocks of Ash will replace the blocks of whatever build is expiring. For instance, if I built a huge tower made out of whatever materials, and that tower expired, as the plots were reclaimed, it would slowly become a tower of Ash in the exact same form with similar colors of Ash. Basically, your build expired and turned to ash.
I believe he is suggesting you let it mutate and mature to a sought after colour… then wait 4 weeks for it to self harvest with 100% seed return. So yeah I don’t really see this will be an issue, good luck to anyone with this master plan in mind.
Ok, that makes sense and really might be pretty awesome. Theoretically this then resembles a ruin of what was there before. Assuming it stays until a normal regen cycle happens you could re-plot some or all of it to preserve a build in a ruined state.
Well interesting addition. As i was reading the details to the update started thinking! Oh could i just claim a bunch of land and reclaim all the blocks up into a cloud storage? Then i seen defining as non-natural and player blocks. Witch is fine i guess not plot reclaim mining for me.
Anyways. Can we just end up getting a cloud storage then to use at the cost of oort? We have portals that cost oort now. Just our extradimensional storage costs to open up? I say reasonable cost be the equivalent of a 1x2 portal and can be fueled the same. only issues is that this would virtually replace need for in world storage if cloud storage just holds tons more. If can be accessed so easy. So i guess perhaps a shard pull or even put cost? Ie:pull open up cost 50xshards. Then can cloud transfer into player normal inventory.
I will also agree that a cost to removing beacons would mean I just do not remove them and they can remain and clutter various planets. If I have Gleam Club then my unwanted beacons will not expire so it is not even a matter of waiting a few weeks.
Even in the case another player brought up. If someone asked me to move one of my non-used builds, I would be willing to do it if I could just do it with no cost, but if it is going to cost me coin or cubits then I guess it stays.
in case of this reclaim system, there will be complains about “pay to continue playing” or “pay to come back” bla bla bla - which will 100000% scare future players away, even more then before.
