Hi I am Da Bomber and I just wanted to say I have been playing this game ever since early 2022 and I have loved it ever since. I recently thought of a couple of items along with a new skill system that I would like to share to see if it is worth at least reviewing and possibly implementing into the game later on.
I would like to put gas and oil into the game. I grew up on a tan he and we always made our own gas. Here are the reasons I believe this would be a beneficial skill.
1.) You would buy or get rewarded a property from a quest that unlocks a new area to go too. You would set oil towers down and move your drills down to the ground to search for oil/natural gas and collect from the drills. Obviously you could add upgrade through perks or the farm supply to increase the size of your drill, the sharpness of the drill to get through rock, and the durability of the drill to get through lava or magma. This would help with getting the oil deposits easier and faster. You would get the XP from getting the oil, and as you would level up you would get better land that has bigger oil deposits and those deposits would be more abundant as to still level up pretty fast.
2.) Introducing machines like auto vehicles. This would be a great way to expand by adding a fleet of vehicles to supply your oil. Upgrading your vehicles by silver or gold to increase capacity would make it easier to deliver more oil to refineries. This way for later on updates to the game like adding stores, like a hardware store or an organic store for instance. The use of 18 wheelers with trailers that could carry a liquid or chemical, frozen item, produce, even hardware materials would be beneficial.
3.) After getting the oil into the vehicles they would come to the refinery so the oil could be turned into gas. This would take time depending on how much oil you put in the refinery. You would also upgrade from the perk or farm supply to make the oil to gas process be faster and the quality of better. Later on you could even put like the ability to make diesel or ethanol free gas.
4.) The storage system for oil and gas would be different. You would get a small storage for oil, gas, and natural gas at first and this would be a certain amount of tons. As you level up the skill you would unlock better storage building that could hold more tons of oil, gas, and natural gas.
5.) Once you reach a specific amount of gas that you have made you would unlock the gas station where you can sell gas, diesel, and ethanol free gas. You raise or lower prices depending on market price like with steak. You need to find just the right amount to put the price per gallon at because if you raise the gas to be too expensive you will not get the amount of rewards you want from not getting enough people. If you lower it to low you would risk the same thing not getting the amount of rewards you want. It is important to point out that I don’t think you should lose money, just the amount of rewards you could get. I also think you can make money from the snacks you can make from you farm like potato chips, maybe sandwiches if y’all introduce bread, fruits, different drinks like juice, milk, candy because y’all have had candy on the game, etc. You would make money and get an amount of rewards from this.
6.) Reward system.
This is an important topic right here because I believe this would make people want to involve themselves with the drilling skill/gas station. The reward system would be based on how much silver you make yes but the rewards would not have to be silver. Instead for example the average gas station sells 4000 gallons a day so for every 1000 gallons you sell you would make 1 gold. You could even get ancients coins as a reward. In the future updates you could expand on the amount of gas stations you own so you could make even more of a reward. You could even make it to where we can get super rare items just like with the temple of reward instead of how much we sacrifice it could be how much gas we sell.
7.) Planes/cropdusting/Lawn-mowing
This is also an idea for future updates if we get gas in the future. We would make parts for a plane, like an engine, wheels, propeller, etc and use Avgas (Aviation Gasoline) to make the plane fly. Then you would crop dust over a full crop. This would be a combination of grape juice and the harvest cookies. You would plant whatever crops you want. Then fly over them using the crop duster to make the crops instantly able to be harvested. By using the crop duster the crops would also be 8x there normal amount maybe even 10x. This would only be able to be used 1 time a day at first. If you become like a Patreon or spend gold at farm supply you could get 2 a day.
Lawn-mowing would be just another thing to increase maybe storage capacity. It could be a daily thing where you mow the grass and get extra inventory space a day.
Both the place and the lawn mower would use gas. 2 different types maybe.
7.) Miscellaneous
Drilling, Vehicles, Refining, Storage, and even the gas station would be an awesome idea that I wish could come to life. It would add other future items like batteries, rubber made from petrol, propane for upgraded ovens, etc.
Thank you if you have read this far and please review this I would really appreciate it.
