My plans for the future.

Greetings, ECC! I recently returned after a long absence, and boy, do I have plans.

1. Farm at Asgard1, which I got permissions to from Paradoxical.
2. Once I have sufficient money, I will build my own farm on the ruins of my old town, VolticadeCity. I will rent permissions on a weekly/monthly basis, as well as selling day passes.
3. After that, I shall establish multiple additional farm towns. I will rent these out to people looking for money, who will in turn be allowed to rent out permissions to these towns.
4. Then, I shall buy Melon Swords and Pumpkin Axes, and rent them to people on my farms.
5. I will continue to establish more farm towns.
6. After a certain point, I will begin moving into mining. I will start renting out Star Pickaxes from a shop, while buying stone and ores from these miners to sell on for a profit.
7. Next will come the renting of Star Swords and Armour, while buying the loot and XP from the warriors I rent the swords and armour to, and selling it on for a profit.
8. After that, I will begin renting out Star Spades and Pickaxes in packs, and offering a quarrying service. People will be able to place bids in return for having their area or plot dug out, and if one of the people renting one of these Quarrying Packs does the job, half of the bid shall go to me, while the other half shall go to whoever does the jobs.
9. Finally, I shall construct a city. Of Quartz, Diamond and Gold blocks. I shall be able to charge exorbitant prices for the houses.

If anyone has any feedback or suggestions, that would be welcome.

 

Could a mod move this to the ECC Goals? Forgot that existed

 

Thanks Steve! I am currently setting up a mutual fund and it'd be great if you bought a few shares! Maybe you have a business which needs an investment?

 

I have reworked my plans a bit! Melon farming with a regular diamond sword is too slow, I've switched to mining. Here is new plan, as written last night on a text document on my laptop.



1. Mine until you have a Max Pick.

2. Make another Max Pick and rent it out.

3. Use the funds from continuous mining and rented Max Picks to produce more Max Picks, and rent these out.

4. Begin buying ores, cobblestone and XP. Smelt the ores and cobble as necessary and sell on the forums in Double Chest quantities. Use the XP to make further Max Picks.

5. Once sufficient funds are available, begin buying Nether Stars and purchase a Star Pick. Mine with the first pick, and rent out all further picks, then sell them.

6. Begin buying Melon Swords and Pumpkin Axes. Rent them out, then sell them.

7. Begin buying all other Star items, rent and sell.

8. Pay people to excavate Volticade, and construct farms. Rent and sell perms.

9. Become President, use extra towns as farm town. Rent the farms out to another owner, who can rent and sell perms.

10. Begin buying out Stations. Have one station each for Netherstars, XP, Diamonds, Iron, Redstone, Gold, Coal, Quartz, and Stone. Buy up all further stations, and rent them out to people, so long as they don’t compete.

11. Rank up until you reach EcoLegend status.

12. Found Voltopoli, construct Voltopoli Palace, 8 prebuilt mansions, and a large wall.

13. Around this town, found 8 more towns made up of prebuilts, one of each theme, stone, desert, nether, nature, ocean, ice, floating island, and cobblestone.

14. Around these towns, found 16 more towns, mostly made up of cheap plots.

15. Buy towns founded by others, and take a share of the profits.

16. Buy towns surrounding the block of 25 towns, make each of these a unique theme.

17. Expand until all of ECC is under Voltcorp control.

 

Currently reconsidering the mining option. Because of lag, I've died in lava while holding 2 picks now, one kindly donated to me, worth a combined 20k, and it's really quite disheartening and demotivational and I don't know what to do.

 

Oh, yes. In real life, I have plans for a political career. My primary aim shall be world domination.

Thank you ^_^

 

I lost ANOTHER pick! A Max Pick. Extremely demotivated.

 

I lost another pick, Fortune 3 Unbreaking 3, and gave up on mining. So, I began pumpkin farming and ended up breaking my EffV axe, yet another frustration.

I will be paying off a small 4k loan I made to someone, then there will be questions as to what I can do next on ECC. There is no good way for me to make money, because I put huge amounts of effort into getting good enough tools to make substantial amounts of money, only to lose the tools less than an hour after getting them. It is really unfair and demotivational.

Unless I can find something good to do on ECC, I will be leaving again. I have been thinking about doing something with my town, but I can't think what. Anyone got suggestions?

 

Following the failure of my mining and pumpkin farming ventures, I plan to open a spawnshop!

I intend to

• Buy and sell Nether Stars and XP
• Buy Gold/Iron Ore and sell Gold/Iron Ingots
• Buy Redstone
• Buy and sell Coal, Emeralds, Quartz and Diamonds
• Buy Cobblestone and sell Smooth Stone (with a service available offering to craft purchased Stone into Stone Brick, stairs or slabs free of charge)
• Buy Sand and sell Sandstone (with a service offering to craft purchased Sandstone into slabs, Smooth Sandstone and Chiseled Sandstone free of charge)
• Buy and sell Wood
• Buy and sell Potions

My new plan (version 3) is as follows:

1. Set up the spawnshop, first for 4 weeks, then continuously renewing it for 10 weeks after that if successful.
2. Begin recruiting Builders and Residents who want to make money. Give them free Diamond Pickaxes (if they prefer mining), Shovels (if they prefer sand-digging) or Axes (if they prefer woodcutting) and send them away to gather stuff for me, while occasionally putting out messages promoting my shop. Show them how to get repairs, and encourage them to buy XP to enchant their tools.
3. Begin constructing a farm on the site of Volticade. The farm should be half pumpkin, half melon, with a fishing pool.
4. Buy Melon Swords, Pumpkin Axes and Star Rods. Give these tools to people under a contract stating that they must sell all produce made with the tools to trade signs in the farm's lobby, ensuring I get a fixed percentage of the profits (probably 50%, since I'm providing the land, in the form of the farm, and the capital, in the form of the tools. should be 75% though, since I'm also providing the entrepreneurial talent to make all that possible).
5. Buy Star Picks and Star Shovels. Give these tools to people under a contract similar to the one above, with the addition that if they are caught selling to my Station, they will have to return the Star tools, and pay a hefty fine.
6. Become President, pay people to build another farm there, this time a general farm with more crops. Rent out the farm to an owner, and allow this owner to rent out perms to people as they please.
7. Continue to claim additional towns and build these farms, and rent them out.
8. Rank up until you reach EcoLegend status.
9. Found Voltopoli, construct Voltopoli Palace, 8 prebuilt mansions, and a large wall.
10. Around this town, found 8 more towns made up of prebuilts, one of each theme, stone, desert, nether, nature, ocean, ice, floating island, and cobblestone.
11. Around these towns, found 16 more towns, mostly made up of cheap plots.
12. Buy towns founded by others, and take a share of the profits.
13. Buy towns surrounding the block of 25 towns, make each of these a unique theme.
14. Expand until all of ECC is under Voltcorp control.
