EXTREMELY HARDCORE [US EAST] - Stone Age - Economy - Start with 0 Crafting - Retrieve Arrows - Remov

EDITED FOR UPDATES ****
This is not the same server as before:
F1
net.connect 173.199.102.113:28016
Admins: the lion nessa
Celestia
Set-up:
No crafting at all when you first spawn (not even default craft options)
You will start off with the Arrow Blueprint and the Stone Hatchet Blueprint. Research them immediately – if you die or leave the server, there is a good chance you will lose them until you find them again later in world.
There is an economy system in place, so you can buy a few items you think you need with the $1,000 you start with
All blueprints are earned through killing animals or looting boxes (%). Rare.
Wood shelters, camp fires, and other basic items are not craftable, but you can buy them until you find the proper blueprints.
Custom Map. The map be default is the same but the admin have built villages, small towns, and new town areas with loot boxes inside of them. All metal buildings are public property and have loot boxes inside that spawn exactly like the default rad areas
Handmade Lockpicks have a 10% chance of opening any door in game. Rather than C4, this is the system used to raid builds.
We are thinking about implementing grenades as possible, but still unsure.
There is an arrow retrieval system so you can get back your undamaged arrows. This makes shooting arrows a bit more realistic, as well as helps prolong the need to create new arrows each time you shoot one. However if you miss, you lose that arrow.
No major airdrops. If an airdrop does occur, it will be building supplies, food, or a Handmade Lockpick.
Admins are not responsible for items lost during a server crash
KOS (kill on sight) is permitted, so watch your back at all times
Griefing other players is frowned upon, but if you choose to grief, be prepared to get a taste of your own medicine.
Hackers will be banned.
There is a jail in place. Arguing with admins (the lion nessa / Celestia) or saying racist remarks will not be tolerated and will get you banned or jail time.
Admins will play on the server legitimately, which means:
No teleporting themselves or others; if you're stuck in the rocks, you must suicide out
No giving of items to themselves or others
Economy System
You can earn money by killing animals; some animals are worth more than others
You may sell back anything; everything has a price
To buy or sell something, type /sell “item name” “amount”
o For example: /sell “Stone Hatchet” “2”
o NOTE: items are case sensitive; two-word items require a space
There is no banking system; all the money you have is on your person
If you commit suicide or are killed by an animal, you lose 20% of your money
If you are killed by another player, you lose an additional 20%; total loss of 40%
Except for ammo, explosives, research kits, metal building parts, and blueprints, everything else can be purchased if you have enough money (wood building parts, modern weapons, tools, bandages).
Everything is overpriced, but if totally desperate and you've worked hard enough to collect money, it's possible to spend money on a basic item (unable to research anything bought). However, modern weapons have insanely high prices (because they are no longer made or available in world, the high prices are realistic). The catch?Durability is turned on and the more you use this insanely high priced weapon, the more you've just wasted $125,000 - $250,000. Plus all ammo will have to be found.
Frequently used commands
/help –
/ehelp – to assist with the economy system
/list – see who is on the server
/ranking killers – see who has the most kills and you probably shouldn’t trade with
/money – to find out your balance
/money top – to see who has the most money
/money “player name” send “amount” – sends money to player
/stats – to see your own stats
/price “item” – to check the buy/sell price; for example: /price “Cooked Chicken Breast”
/price 2 or /price 3 (to change the pages and see the prices on other pages
Examples below:
/buy “Wood” 100 (how you buy Wood)
/share “the lion nessa” (how you share door with friend, use their name not mine)
/req “Pipe Shotgun” (see the pipe shotgun recipe after you have blueprint)
Craftable Weapons (after you find blueprint)
Stone Hatchet
Bow
Arrows
Pipe shotgun
Hand cannon
(You can learn to craft handmade weapons but first you will have to go through the tedious task of looting to actually get a blueprint or the item itself. Again, rare.)
The default recipes for the Pipe Shogun and HandCannon no longer work. The new recipes are below (you must first find the blueprint):
"Pipe Shotgun"
1 hatchet
1 handmade lockpick
1 furnace
1 workbench
2 wood
50 gunpowder
100 metal fragments
100 leather
150 cloth
150 low grade fuel
200 low quality metal
"Hand Cannon"
1 furnace
1 workbench
1 hatchet
1 lockpick
1 wood
50 metal fragments
50 cloth
50 leather
150 low quality metal
You can type /req “HandCannon” or /req “Pipe Shotgun” in world to get the recipe. Yes, you will need these items IN your inventory in order to craft these weapons. It’s hard because it shouldn’t be easy.
Un-Craftable
Modern weapons (Bolt Rifle, Revolver Shotgun, M4, P250, 9mm)
Explosives and explosive charges
Grenades
Lockpicks
Metal building parts
Ammo – Can only be found in loot boxes or red animal drops. Weapon or not, once you are out of bullets, you will have to go back to gathering and using a bow.
Q1: Does that means it's impossible to raid?
A1: No, to keep with the theme, you can use Handmade Lockpicks to open doors. However, the % of them working is extremely low and you cannot craft a Lockpick. This means you have to find them or loot them, or kill for them. Simply put the lockpick on your belt and walk up to a door like you normally would and click the "Open". If it works the door will open (you lose lockpick), if it doesn't, nothing happens (and you still lose lockpick). Yes, you get only one try only. So it's possible to be raided, but only if you've traded well for lockpicks or you stockpile them over time. Otherwise, focus on developing your own build and saving money for rare items.
Things we didn't do that we know would make things harder/longer but feel it would hurt game play:
Change crafting time. Possible but I hate crafting time as is and I do not think longer crafting times makes it more survival or harder. It just makes it boring.
Change resources to spawn less frequently. I love seeing new piles of wood and rock spawn, and I did not want this to change no matter what. Working the fields and gathering is fun for me, so the last thing I wanted is empty fields (I can get that in the crowded official servers).

I really like the idea but I have some questions,are stone hatchet/bow default or you just have to kill stuff with rock until u find a bp.
i shall be joining in the near distant future
[QUOTE=Gragos;44501378]I really like the idea but I have some questions,are stone hatchet/bow default or you just have to kill stuff with rock until u find a bp.[/QUOTE]
You start with 1000 dollars and a bow costs 1000 dollars. If you want to spend all your starting money for a bow, that would probably be wise. But that is up to you.
The server is set up to treat players as if they are really waking up for the first time ever. The dialogue on screen shows tips/as if you are speaking to yourself. But it's created in a way it helps new players. So, as a start we give I believe 2 blueprints into your inventory. The stone hatchet and arrows (because you can't buy arrows or ammo at all on this server, we wanted you to be able to make it). However, if a player isn't savvy and loses that blueprint prior to studying it, then there is nothing we can do. Other than those intro blueprints to show new players, "wow, even the default stuff I have to study again" there is no help. But I think the store and killing a few animals can keep anyone on their feet. In fact, I already have a lot of blueprints because they drop with animals.
Try it and see.
Somehow, I can't find your server when I sort thgem by the name in the modded ones ( my F1 doesn't work for the IP adress)
Good to see you made it jp!
I'll be joining in about 2 hours,whats the server population?
Really good and fair admins so far. Been playing on the server for around 4 hours so far and the idea is really great. The game is just too easy after 250 hours, but soon I logged there, first time in a while I get scared by a wolf.
So I joined but it won't allow me to learn the 2 BP's you start with...any idea what may have happened?
What is your name in world?
PM sent, thx!
My friend said it's possible if the name has symbols it may just not register. More specifically than symbols, the BRACKETS []. They may not function well with the script database controlling your blueprints.
To anyone else, use a normal name (no brackets) if you want to join to save possible issues. Sorry!
alright, I'll rename and try again. ty!
Fun server last night, makes you think before taking an action. Probably more bow fights than any other server. More people trading and more civility when everyone is in the same limited condition.
Yup, pretty cool place so far. There's more and more people everyday, come and try...ok you might end up not leaving but who cares
Id say you see far less hackers in this type of server than any other.
Rules: You start the game with two blueprints (Arrow Blueprint and Stone Hatchet). These are the only two items you can craft.
Rules: You cannot craft, buy, or research Ammo (just arrows). However, you can find Ammo randomly in crates.
Rules: You can kill all animals, including the passive (Pigs, Chickens, Rabbits), and the Blueprints automatically go into your inventory. Yes, even the animals that do not drop a suitcase can still give you loot/blueprints.
Rules: Explosives or grenades are not in world at all.
Rules: The Handmade Lockpick has a 10% chance to open all doors. You cannot craft or buy Handmade Lockpicks. They will only be found in red animal drops or loot boxes.
Rules: There is an Economy system in place so you can sell back items or buy what you cannot yet make. /ehelp, /price, /buy, /sell.
Question: Why can't I craft the 2 blueprints?
Answer: We've only had this problem with players that have brackets [ ] { } or parenthesis ( ) in their name. You will need to take off these symbols in order to play on this server.
Question: I thought you couldn't craft anything in this server, I still see all the default crafting items.
Answer: Yes you can see them because we cannot change the UI (User Interface). However, you will not be able to craft anything until you find that blueprint. Unfortunately, you will have to keep track of what you can and cannot craft. This is because we cannot change the UI (User Interface).
Just joined and I love it so far.
Question though... is it sleepers on or off?
I just got disconnected in radarea and now im scared ima either die from rad poisoning or get killed inside smallrad b4 I get back on :(
[editline]14th April 2014[/editline]

Glad you made it back.

As far as I know you don't take rads when you're sleeping.
fun server, but the server needs to be more stable. Random disconnects, crashes makes it less fun.
Hi, I enjoyed the last weekend your server. Nice concept.
One particular think was interesting to me. While in the beginning nobody had all parts/BP to build a complete home it was necessary to trade parts or BP. The trading aspect is something I have rarely seen on other servers.
Therefore as idea *) the number of BP learned could be limited to as example 10. You would have to consider what you need to know and what not. As example, you have to go for cloth, building [B]or[/B] weapon BP. You would need another source for thinks you cannot build. Trading, grouping or stealing.
See you around.

*) many will disagree and it will be probably not possible to implement without coding. But nevertheless…
Hey,
I tried to play yesterday night, but the server wasn't there.
Still on air?
Don't know quit playing it after the server crashed 2 times in a row.
Server has been moved to a new host. It seems a bit more stable, but like ian has mentioned, it may still crash. Nothing we can do, as it's a non profit project we do for fun.
bump for the hardcore
