Economy

Economy goals and gameplay loop

The economy loop should reward healthy participation, create meaningful sinks, and avoid runaway inflation.

1. Members earn currency through safe actions like work.
2. Members spend through role shop, blackmarket, and bounties.
3. Moderators monitor suspicious transfer chains and risk-action abuse.

Economy setup playbook

Goal

Launch a stable economy with clear rewards, sinks, and anti-farming controls.

Prerequisites

• Economy module enabled and visible in your server.
• At least one moderator responsible for weekly review.
• Role hierarchy ready for buyable role rewards.

Step-by-step setup

1. Check status and baseline commands.
2. Set payout and cooldown defaults.
3. Configure role shop and sink commands.
4. Enable anti-farming checks and logs.
5. Run a controlled test with moderator accounts.

Verification checklist

• Work/deposit/withdraw/pay all execute successfully.
• Risk actions (crime/rob/heist) respect cooldown behavior.
• Role purchases consume balance and grant role correctly.
• Suspicious actions are visible for moderation review.

Common failure cases

• Too much currency generation from short cooldowns.
• Role shop failures due to role hierarchy.
• Payment abuse loops between alt accounts.

Rollback steps

• Lower risk success rates and increase cooldowns.
• Temporarily disable high-risk actions in incident windows.
• Remove mispriced role-shop entries and re-add corrected values.

Economy: Admin Configuration Step-by-Step

Baseline profiles

• Small server: slower payouts, longer cooldowns, fewer sinks.
• Medium server: balanced cooldowns with role-shop progression.
• Large server: stricter anti-abuse and weekly leader audits.

Key parameters

• start_cash: initial user balance.
• work_cooldown_seconds: work command pacing.
• crime_success_rate and rob_success_rate: risk action frequency and volatility.
• loan_interest_rate, loan_max_principal, loan_cooldown_seconds: debt risk limits.
• heist_cooldown_seconds, heist_reward_min, heist_reward_max: coordinated risk reward.
• max_gang_members, gang_creation_cost, season_duration_days: social pacing and reset cadence.

Sequential setup order

1. Inspect current config.
2. Set starter cash and cooldown.
3. Set success rates and risk/reward values.
4. Configure loan and heist boundaries.
5. Configure gang and territory pacing.
6. Validate with test users.

Anti-abuse checklist

1. Keep rob and crime success rates moderate.
2. Use meaningful cooldowns for work, heist, and loan.
3. Set loan caps to avoid runaway inflation.
4. Monitor top earners weekly.
5. Add manual review for suspicious transfer chains.
