    My idea (this time) is an app for beacons to be placed, for aesthetics ONLY!
    The effects of the beacons would be absolutely nullified and would not be usable at all, easy way to nullify them? Have an Admin LWC them as they are placed, if you can't feed it power (iron, gold, etc) it simply will not work!
    I'd like this as it would work very nicely and fit perfectly in a current project of mine!

    Please read what i wrote carefully, and not just instantly respond no, ty for your time!

    a fair point! might need some coding done so that they are inaccessible.

    Well, this would be cool, to use beacons for decorative purposes only.

    i feel like people might abuse them though, and make lots and lots near eachother (causes a lot of lag),
    but if we could make a rule that says no doing that, then i think it would be a great idea :D

    i agree however since it is an app and most likely a money dump it would cost quite a bit

    Maybe 1 per town? And it would cost 50k to have one placed?

    i could live with that, a 2x2 central design just looks nice, y'know? have a large central tower with a set of pulsating and fluctuating cores of power? cool!

    I like it, but you'll need some fine tuning to the rules to keep them from lagging.

    Only the mayor can have them placed, max of 4 in one spot/8 max if spread over the town.
    Big fat $$$ each for placement?
    Just have them disabled (like dispencers only being open to pyro people, you can't open em)

    So if you placed a hundred of em in a 10x10 area, no lag?

    And depending on lag = fps rate.

    Well, high cost beacons would eliminate that, as well as a maximum per town.

    Here's my idea:
    200k per beacon placed in your town and you can have as many as you want.
