What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:

All Main Servers​

Short title for your suggestion:

Make Nether a better source of income​

What are you suggesting:

Increase the server Gold price, as follows:

Gold Nugget: $0.50 -> $2.00
Gold Ingot: $4.50 -> $18.00
Gold Block: $40.50 -> $162.00​

Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:

Adds some diversity to the ways in which we can make money. Nether mining requires a fair bit of work and attention, but would be more worth it after these changes. This also won't drastically affect the profit made from regular mining since gold is a fairly rare resource in the mining world and accounts for <5% of income via regular mining methods.

As of right now, taking server/low end market prices as a baseline...
Quartz sells for ~$30 per block
Gold sells for ~$40 per block

In terms of ores (assuming fortune 3 pick)...
Nether Gold: ~1 Gold Ingot per ore -> Equivalent value of $4.50 per ore
Quartz: ~2.5 Quartz per ore -> Equivalent value of $18.75 per ore

Having just done some testing in terms of recovery of these ores with the fly/speed feature, within 20 mins I was able to collect:
Nether Gold Ore: 278 -> Equivalent value of $1251
Quartz Ore: 1056 -> Equivalent value of $19,800

Extrapolating that out to an hour gives a current profit of ~$63,000 for one of the most mentally/physically involved forms of making money, which also assumes the player doesn't silk these ores to bring into mining world for xp and that the mining world is still full of ores (i.e. early after world reset).​
