    I'm a new mayor (resident for 3 years) and I'm seeking some help on how to pay builders for dirt placement above an ocean. Should I pay per hour or by the stack? And also, what should I pay per unit. Thanks :)

    I'd say then to pay the builders 1 Ecodollar for every 4-5 blocks placed

    When I needed one layer of a 200x200 farm filled in with dirt, I paid $1 per dirt block placed.
    What I did was a had a bunch of double chests that I filled with dirt and I locked them all and then just added 1 person to each. Then once they ran out, they contacted me and I went and checked and payed them $3,456. If they wanted to do another double chest, I added them to another full one or filled theirs up again... and so on. It went pretty smooth and everyone seemed happy about the price they were being paid. :)

    Sadly there is no fool proof way to not get scammed on a job such as this, unless you're standing over them watching their every move. You just have to look around and estimate what should be done when they contact you. Common sense says if not a lot is done and they went through a couple double chests... then maybe you should find someone else.
