A Better Resource World

I understand why the pit was made smaller, world generation makes it lag, but the small size of the pit means that not all the biomes that contain rare meterials are there, for example; Mesa, Ice Spikes, Mega Taiga.

I think that you should find a seed that contains most/all of the rare biomes so that people can get the resources they need and then they won't have to revert to trying to find these things in the build world.

Maybe changing the seed once every couple of months (still monthly reset) so that players can explore the space and share those locations with others and get the resources they need from them and then after a couple of months, new seed with nessesary biomes and happy players.

Literally all it takes is a google search. I found a seed where you spawn in a Flower Forest,then there are Jungle, Ice Spikes, Mega Taiga and Mesa biomes all within less than 5000 blocks.

That's a good point then maybe the standard once a month.

 

If it's purely for resources then there are certain biomes that are needed like the Ice Spikes biome to get packed ice, I am aware that the main world hasn't been fully explored but it is not for resources, certain biomes are needed to get items in the game like the mega taiga for podzol, the flower forest for certain flowers and therefore dyes, the mooshroom island to get mycelium and the ice spikes for packed ice.

The rules clearly state not to gather resources in the build world, if you don't want that happening make sure that people can get the biomes they need in the pit.

If it's purely for resources, you can't always fit the nessesary biomes for those resources in a 7,500 x 7,500 world. And some of the more needed biomes like the ice spikes contain resources that can't be aquired just by mining out an area for whatever you're making in the build world. With the fancy new build world, certain biomes aren't in there which is a good thing, it stops people from gathering resources in it. But with a smaller pit, steps need to be taken to ensure that people get the resources they need, as I said it just takes a google search for a seed that contains the biomes that are needed to get certain items.

 

You mean dealing with the insanely high prices in the shop? Or how it's basically impossible to get money on the server and expand and maintain a town at a satisfactory level wihout giving even more money and hoping you hit the jackpot with a crate?

So I have to wait a month to build my town spawn? I have to wait a month to build a giant ice sculpture that won't melt, I have to wait a month to make a banner with specific dyes? Sometimes even longer than a month.

 

At this point I'm open to suggestions, a way where I can expand and maintain my town (so putting money in it and claiming chunks for $1,000 each) and have enough money on the side to participate in auctions and get new and better gear and buy things to add farms or redstone contraptions to improve my town then please, tell me your secrets.

 

People do help me maintain my town and they also struggle to make money.

And something is stopping me, the lack of certain biomes in the pit.

And the ice sculpture was an example, what if I wanted to build an ice sulpture and prove that I can do it on survival with survival resources whilst having friends that I have made on the server enjoy said build.

I don't see how my attitude is unreasonable, the prices in the shop are something that most definetly is, I do trade with players on a regular basis but currently no one has the items that I need to build certain things, I have no way of getting them because the biomes required to find them are currently unavailable and adding things to the shop won't make my life easier it'll mean more tedious sitting by a mob grinder and moving every 10 minutes so that I can sell a couple hundred stacks of bones to afford a piece of cobblestone. I would go to player shops but I have no money, I don't see a better way to get money and at this point in time not many player shops contain what I am looking for even if their prices are 10 times more reasonable than the ones at /warp shop!

 

Sell what things, bones? Where I have to sit next to my grinder for a few hours whilst moving every 10 minutes? Or selling valuable things that I might need to get other things in the game? Because if I sell said things at warp shop I'm only going to get about $3 per item (that example is the approximate ammount you get for a gold ingot 3.333333.... to be more precise). Or selling them to a player where if I ask for a price anywhere near anything in warp shop, I'll be called a money whore, not sell anything and not make any money.

 

I'm sure if you asked other players that didn't get all their money before iron golem spawners were removed, they will tell you just as much as me; making money is the opposite of easy on here. People are stuggling to even get 30k. 30k is 30 town plots, that's not a lot considering people are struggling to get that much. If i sold my town plots for 1k each, people wouldn't claim them, a town is supposed to pretty much sustain itself when you start getting people but at the moment, I'll be considered a dick if my plots go for a price anywhere near 1k or if I ask for someone to pay me too much for something so that I can get enough money to claim at least one plot.

It's supposed to be fun but instead I stress about that fact that I'll probably have wasted $7.5k on a town. There is no way to make money as you go along building new things, I could grind basic resources for hours and then sell them in a shop but I don't have hours to spend on AEM. I could sit by a grinder for hours on end occasionally moving, I want to be able to build, create a nice community like the one I had before the reset and help other players.

But trust me, if I hadn't wasted $100 on a rank for this server I wouldn't be playing on it anymore and if I could get a refund for it I would be gone, poof! I wouldn't be pissed off about not being able to get money on here, I would be able to actually get on with other stuff in my life, but I wasted $100 on a server that at the time was pretty neat but now, it's another story.

 

I've already wasted $100 on this server, I'm certainly not buying another rank, and besides suggesting the fact that I should buy a rank to get money makes this server "pay to win" which is against eula regulations and If i hadn't sold half my stuff maybe I would have things to do a cross-server trade with but I don't. And what do you suggest I build a farm with? I don't have the time to sit around and grind for 12 hours a day.
