Mines

[VlperX]

I'm considering adding mines to the main world. These are areas where we can control who mines there and the percentage of each ore and we reset it every day or so.

These mines won't be as easy as mining underground where you're mostly protected. They will be hostile and maybe difficult to get to, or difficult to mine in, because the ores are richer in quantity.

What do you think?
We could even have a donator mine, but would that make them too overpowered? I would prefer to keep the economy somewhat balanced but those who donate will certainly be noticed and we plan to reward such benevolence.

I think it would be nice.
Eh, it is also easy to check if X-Ray is being used.

The only thing that concerns me is regenning it, it would be easy as regions selected and snapshots, but theres usually one editor or above online. X-Ray users, unless we made this exactly like bione gen, nooned go for it, slightly more ores, they will. Less non used tunnels. The x-ray monitor plugin I've seen wouldn't work, as it'd flag up on everyone, the other way is th anti-xray plugin so when someone activates it, random ores are rrendered and wont drop as it.
edit: people would want to donate too for donator mine to maximize their money on the iConomy board if we said the ore to stone distribution one the /spawn.

regenning?

like, resetting it?
I can make a sign that'll do it with one click. And besides, it should be reset daily, no less.

You should also regen it in new ways or other wise the ores will be in the same place becoming easier to find and aquire.

[VlperX]

Of course, it'll be randomized.

That sounds like a fantastic idea. I would love a more challenging mine to collect ore in.

[Flaze]

I totally agree - I love the idea.

[lyrael]

Me gusta.

I have seen your idea for mines, it'll be great.
Add them to the new main world.
Don't you love my absolutely obvious comments?
Anyway, its a good idea. Though we may have to restrict it from going to the Admin Shop somehow... I can see the miners taking a huge advantage in /balacetop.
