Hey so im needing a reality check from a dev, I want to know if a server idea is possible to have coded, and what the ballpark cost would be.

Basically this server would be a first person inspired server of the game frostpunk, people have gathered around and created the last city after a castostrophic event.The entire world is now always winter, and player need to keep a generator running for warmpth or they freeze to death, players will need to come up with food, water, supplies or they will end up on dying. Really harsh enviornments. Im thinking there will possibly be profesions such as miners who go mine materials for buildings and ores, coal for the generator, builders who construct stuff both hand made, and via pre made building spawn eggs (they can craft an egg that spawns a building), farmers who harvest and plant crops, tailors make clothing from reeds and wools/leathers. This is not set in stone, not sure if ill include this or not im just wanting to know if its all possible and how much somwthing in this ballpark would cost. There would need to be some way to have weather actually affect people, hunger, thirst, tiredness/sleep deprivation. So if players are x distance away from a heat sorce they get cold and after a bit of being cold start taking dmg, if you wear certian clothes you can last longer in the cold etc. There would be mobs that invade the city that would need to be fought off, weather storms. Maybe some form of temperature and depending on temperature depends on how long people can last out in the open.

Server inspired by the game frostpunk.
Here is a link to a 5min video reveiw of frostpunk so you can kinda get a feel for the genre/server idea's insperation.

Update: there would be a lot of custom features, im thinking pvp would be enabled but their would be some sort of citizen rating. Good citizens have better scores.and get certian buffs, mealwhile people who murder other citizens have lower ratings, can have bounties placed on their heads by local authorities, maybe have npc police that will attack people if they have low enough rating, etc.

Some way to link the main generator to houses/other buildings. Perhaps if a furnace/heat source is somehow connected or within range of the generator they are turned on/powered by the generator.

Food would need to have certian criteria for growth, maybe they have to be enclosed but still have light acess (glass on top or something? I think easiest way for this would have the builders have farms/pre made structures they can spawn where food can grow). Dont want food growing in the cold snow, wouldnt feel immersive now would that?

Again, this is just a rough idea/sketch. I want to know if something like this would be viable before coming up with an extensive document.

This can certainly be made into a plugin, really like the idea aswell. Cost ofc depends alot on how many custom features you’re wanting.

Hey thanks for responding! First of all, I think the majority if not everything in this concept would need to be custom. I feel like having this modded would increase server possabilites? But would also limit the playerbase. Would love to keep the server open to any player so just plugins. However would it be cheaper to get mods created for this or plugins?

All of this is possible, but it will be costly.

If this becomes a thing, i’m going to end up playing minecraft again

Hey! Thanks for the posative feedback ahah, its defiantly unlike anything else out there at the moment!

I myself haven’t really gotten into coding mods. I think via mods would be more expensive because you need serverside and clientside mods and players would need to download and install the mods to play, which makes it less likely for players to join.
It would also be possible to make these features into a plugin. Hope this may help you

Noted, thanks!

I love the game forstpunk, I’m not a plug-in developer but I wish you the best on this.

 

[MineTribes]

This definitely is possible, and I love the idea, if you have the budget for it, I'm certain this could become a huge succes.

Hey, yeah I mean I have a decent amount of funding. Im asking for ballpark figures, but so far no one has reaponded on that topic. I feel like people are afraid to respond for fear of lowballing. Im wanting some ballpark figures though so I can estimate ahah.

So far I have only recieved posative responces, but im not quite sure how I would capitalize or how exactly replayability would be factored in. Would the server reset if the generator is destroyed or if everyone dies? What if no one-small amount of players are on the server?

Should the server be more like a campaign with new updates added? More cities/factions/areas are unlocked with new updates?

Once the playerbase gets a bunch of buildings constructed and a way to readily be able to produce enough food/water/wood and burnables, they would have "won" against the enviornment, meaning being raided by mobs or killed by another player would be the last remaining obsticle. Not sure if players would feel driven to play every day for a long period of time.

It's really hard to give you a 'quote' or estimate of what this would cost, since the amount of detail you included is minimal. If you'd have a document with all the feature, I bet you'd hear some figures.

 

[BlaZerCooper]

You can't be sure on that last part if it doesn't you'll lose a lot of money and time

Yeah, im kinda wanting to know a super rough estimate though before that document is constructed, as that in itself will take extensive overlooking and ensuring everyrhing is balanced.

Would like to know if I have anywhere near enough funding before thatuch effort is put in.

 

[JacobZ]

it would definitely cost a lot.
A problem here is "weather storms". When people see weather storms they expect something dramatic on cool. So far the most dramatic weather storm I've ever seen in a Minecraft server is receiving blindness

Yeah, it would defiantly be a challenge, especially with just plugins.[DOUBLEPOST=1544538762][/DOUBLEPOST]

Im thinking maybe something like
Snow toggled
Some darker time set and overcast (not sure if you can choose where clouds spawn)
Lower temperature (players loose heat faster/take more damage, generator requires more coal)
Perhaps have evil snowmen start popping up? Ahah[DOUBLEPOST=1544539028][/DOUBLEPOST]https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/...1-christmas-winter-suite-1-7-10-1-13-2.49646/

Take a look at this plugin

 

[JacobZ]

that could work, I dont think its possible, but is it possible to have the wind come from say north, and it will push the player backwords while taking damage ; The only way to not be affected is to stand behind a at least 2blocks high wall?

Hm im not sure either. Would be a very interesting feature. Very cool if it could be added, and also affect players differentlt based on the Y axis, as the generator is in a creator. So if you climbed up to mountianous zones.and are exposed then its more dramatic.[DOUBLEPOST=1544539592][/DOUBLEPOST]If anyone is interested in helping this server take off, let me know! I have already recruited mythicgirl to help manage the server and help document server ideas, will be needing more people for ideas aswell. Ill start a discord group for people qho want to help, just PM me on here with your discord, and tell me how you would like to help (ideas, funding, staff, any kind of support really )
