Rent to Own

[Death]

I have a couple parts of my washplant rented. the t1 shaker, t1 trommel, t1 deplex jig x2, big power gen, and fuel tank. Now is there a way to buy this while renting them so I do not have to take my set up apart and replace with bought ones? I have looked all over and I could be missing over something but it looks as though I need to send those back and actually buy another one and set up my plant again with the new parts. Is this true?

Unfortunately, there is no way to pay for and own rented equipment. You will have to return whatever you rented and go buy another of the same thing. Maybe they will change it in a future update to allow equipment to be financed (daily payments) to own.

Yea I was more so looking for a way to fully pay the amount it costs, WITHOUT have to tear apart my whole wash plant set up, to yet again take most daylight time setting it up again..... Another thing the Devs looked over and will not fix haha

I discovered this little quirk in the game after leasing my entire wash plant setup. i'm too casual a player to wait until i can afford the entire setup, but i wanted to build it and start using it. anyway, i realized pretty quick how much a pain in the @$$ it was going to be to rebuild it. i have decided to just keep leasing until i can move onto another claim. i will be moving on after i have enough to buy the claim outright so i don't have to pay rent on the land. i will also make sure i can afford the wash plant. with my attention span, i will probably achieve this goal sometime around April 2020...some of that estimate is a joke, i really hope it doesn't really take that long. all in all, i'm really glad they added leasing. i was able to build a wash plant and mine the way i want to before winter ended. i'm up to my eyeballs in debt, but once i pay off my loan, i should start making good money.

yea its how the leaders play actually. Just rent everything after you get like 30 oz's in the hog pan highbanker. Everything is relatively cheap before during and right after winter. I decided around day 8 to buy the dumptruck and save another 4.8k. Over just 10 days thats another 48k, half the dumptruck so. If I do replace anything else, its usually things like the hopper or belt that I can get to easily.

Yea, I am leasing just a few and I mean it costs me 22.5k roughly a day for the rented equipment and 22.3k roughly for my loan I took out. Then it is 30% of what I make so usually I will mine 60oz or so a clean up from the whole wash plant and then it is all gone the next day for rent and leasing. It is pretty rough, I expected with my T3 set up I would get a bit more then I did with two mobile wash plants but I basically got the same out put on some pretty decent ground. I now hired 2 workers, one a sluice worker. Which if you know any information about switching buckets over automatically please let me know. Never had workers on the wash plant that did stuff like that. And then an overseer which is pretty nice since it lets me know when a part is about to go so I can order it online.
