Please make monthly income a thing for plugins

Please add it. Why is it useless for plugins?

What if we wanted to make a profitable building such as a tollgate, landmark, etc.?
I know someone might cheat, but there's a very low chance that someone might cheat anyway. Also, the new .plugin file would prevent editing at all.

I know, but this:

What's the point of cheating for unlimited money if you can play sandbox?

And also .plugin, again, can be used to prevent cheating.

How about limitations? That should work too. I think the highest should be 500,000T.
I really wanted to make my tower plugin profitable. Its suppose to be a landmark.

yeah you can put 100 1x1 bulidings that produce 500,000T (that's +50MT) yeah there's is sandbox but
if you are in normal mode you have ranks and stuff that you don't have in sandbox and if you have unlimited money you can cheat and that just
makes the game boring.

Then so how it also does with in-game buildings with monthly income with few to no diamond cost. they just doesn't produce that much.

I can just place 1000 Bank of China's and I have an infinite supply.

Or if you wanted to make a building have a monthly income, you need to have it paid by diamonds. And the diamond count is calculated by the game.

For example, per 1,000T, the diamond price increases by 5 or 10. So if you wanted a 20,000T producing building, it will cost 100 or 200 diamonds.

With this, then cheaters will be unable to cheat. They can still do, but its up to them if they STILL wanted to spend thousands of diamonds.

But the thing is let's say if we have a tollgate plugin which one will you chose
1. a tollgate that costs 40 diamonds each time you place it buy you get income
2. a tollgate decoration that doesn't have any functions but free

most people would probably chose 2. since not to many people actually pay for a plugin.

Maybe I might not spend diamonds for small buildings, but maybe I might do on big plugins.
And few people actually make possibly-profitable buildings anyway, tollgates is just one of them

This will lead to cheating as even some russians are already cheating.

what, normally that would be the opposite. I would pay 40 diamonds for each ICC or something
but not for one tollgate.

So what if I wanted a profitable building?
What should I do then?

Again, if you wanted to make MILLIONS of money via cheating, then what's the point because there is sandbox? You wanted to have the highest rank when you can in sandbox? You wanted to have a "harder" gameplay when you have unlimited money? Seems legit. You wanted to have unlocked things and so on? Oh, when you have unlimited money you can rank up very easily. Basically that's useless. You wanted to have a non-sandbox gameplay but you wanted millions to make "it easier"? Just hit the wizard button.

The only REAL differences between sandbox and non-sandbox are:
-Money
-Demand Control
-Automatic Building


There is ONE thing that acts as a Karma if you cheat: Reaching the limit. After a long time (or short time, depends on how cheaty you are) of cheating, there will be the time when your money would become negative. That's right: If you spend 10 hours of gameplay before you reached the end, you need another 10 hours of gameplay to reach 0. That's 10 hours of purely not doing anything. Fast forward might help, but even so, you would need to still wait for 3.5 hours! At that point most cheaters would, give up or just play Sandbox.

10 hours actually is just a short time though. VERY short. Lobby confirmed that it would took REAL IN-GAME years to reach the breaking point. Cheaters might rejoice, but the pay back is there.

Sorry I mean, I might not pay for a small thing like tollgate, but yes for an ICC-like building.

My fault, Grammar error.

To receive more income than 1T, you need to join the 'Trusted Plugin Creators' group. Lobby will send you a privileged key.
