Currency System Description
RP EDDitions Currency Sytem Description.


I have changed how the currency system works in V3.0 by using
a resource drop system instead of the old resource refining system.


This works by adding drops to various harvested resources node drops
(Ex. metal nodes now drop stone, metal and now Gold Nuggets)
These new resources are then taken to either the appropriate Market or
Gold forge for further processing.

The old Gold Forges you would put in crystal, metal or obsidian
into them to refine (craft) into gold coins.

The New Fold Forges (Common Gold Forge and Gold Forge) now use the
new resource drop of the Gold Nugget (resource drop from metal bearing nodes)
to refine (craft) into Gold Bars.
These gold bars are then to be taken to the new Bank
where they can be traded (crafted) for Gold Coins.

The new HellFire Gold Forge now no longer requires resources to work.
Just add SparkPowder and turn it on and it will produce Gold Coins.
While running it will produce 50 Gold Coins in 60 seconds at the default setting's.

The new Markets (Crop, Gem, Meat) will trade resources for Gold Tokens.
(1 Gold Token is equal to 1 Gold Bar in value)
The Gold Tokens are then to be taken to the new Bank where
the Tokens can be traded (crafted) for Gold Coins.

Crop Market: Will accept grown RPE berry's, all Veggies and Beer.
It will not accept the crops that come from the RPE trees.

Gem Market: Will accept Amber, Diamond, Emerald, Opal, Pearl and Ruby's.
These are resource drops from various resource nodes.

Meat Market: Will accept Raw Prime meat, Cooked Prime meat, Raw Prime Fish,
Cooked Prime Fish, Raw Mutton, Cooked Lamb Chops.

The Bank (Bank, Small Bank): The Bank is a new structure that will trade
Gold Bars and Gold Tokens for Gold Coins.
It is very important that at least 1 Bank (not Small Bank)
be placed in the world (must always have at least 1 at all times)
then the server to be restarted for any INI setting to the
Gold Coin to work as the structure controls it.

These new Gold Forges and Markets now have INI setting.
They can be adjusted for various server rates and needs.
See INI setting discussion for the available setting
and how they effect the output of these.

I will not be adding INI setting to the Legacy system
as it will eventually be removed from the mod.[/b]

The Legacy system of refining resources into Gold Coins
is still in the mod (for now) and has been tweaked to be able
to use the new Markets output of Gold Tokens by refining (crafting)
the Gold Token in the Legacy Gold Forge into the Legacy Gold Coin.

I have also made it possible to convert the Legacy Gold Coin
to the new Gold Coin in the Bank but you must learn the engram
to be able to see it in the Bank.
