Economy Carts and NPC's
Cart
A great way to reward player for hard work either gathering or crafting items without have to setup any crazy INI work or any crazy in game menu. Super Simple Super Easy.
It has a handy display board showing the items and the value for those items.
Items are placed in the markets by an admin and they set a value to that item.
Any item can be used. (except Cryopods, jars, soul balls etc. that contain a dino) It will not however take in account for quality of an item. Example: you put in a ramshackle cloth hat it will take any cloth hat.
Players can redeem items for coins by selecting the item type they wish to Redeem and it will show them on the redeem button, seen in the middle of the inventory window, how much coin they will receive for the amount of the stack size of the item selected. Items will be removed from their inventory and they will get the amount of coin set for the selected item. If they have multiples of that item quantity they can use the redeem all button and will receive the displayed amount on the button for as many multiples they have.
Nifty Facts

- Only server admins can value or revalue items.
- Doesn't require any coin to be placed anywhere as is just poofs them into existence.
- Can use any item type as payout.
- They can be set to use global coin item that all carts use other than the default gold coin from this mod.
- Individual carts can have a specific payout that only it uses.
How to Price Items
Items are placed in the markets inventory by an admin and they set a value to that item by selecting the item and pessing the set or revalue item button seen in the middle of the inventory window. Items will not stack in the market to make it so you can set whatever stack size you wish for that value and have multiple items of that type but in different stack sizes.
How to set individual cart payout
Use the radial wheel and select "Enable Custom Payout".
Place one of the item type you wish for it to payout in its inventory, select it and pres the "set selected item as new payout item" button. It will delete the item and your done it will now payout in that item.
It cannot be changed again unless you pick it up and place it down again.
