Wait, You Can Mine On Prison!?

[joha4732]

Your ideas are always awesome and it is clear that you take this topic seriously cobramon!
Lately I have also thought about the serious problem with new players leaving prison before they even had the chance to explore the outside, all the different cell blocks and all the fun that Munchy prison has to offer. One of the big problems that I have thought about is also that it is too hard for new players to obtain money and rankup or just buy a rare pick in auction.
Idk if it is just because OP prison are popular at the moment or…

pulveriser in map two which x2 all drops

@killerbye22

Pulverizer
Type: Tool
Ability: Mining blocks. Quadruples valuable ore drops (diamond, emerald, gold, iron).
Item: Diamond Pickaxe (Efficiency 5)
From the original ultra guide of map 2

The reason why I choose to quote this is because I thought maybe this could be 1 of the solutions to the problem with new players leaving. I thought that maybe if new player were given a good pick from the start they would be less likely to leave because it would be a bit less hard for them to rankup the first few ranks. I believe that x4 drops is a bit OP if combined with resetti… But what I think is important is that this new pick is a personal pick. If it were I who coded it I would do so that this pick was inventory bound but also had the rarity of Ultra.
This may seem a bit weird because why give it a ultra rarity if only new players can get it…
Well the reason why this is important is because they will then get a little taste of the ultra abilities and as we say: Once a vampire taste blood the first time, they just can’t stop

So all in all: Add a good pick to the starter kit that allow them to earn money and get a better chance at life. Make sure they get a taste of the rarity system that Munchy has!

Chain Saw
Type: Tool
Ability: Cuts down logs above a log that you mine.
Item: Diamond Axe (Efficiency 5)

I have mentioned this before but without any luck…

@joha4732

I just wanna leave the thoughts about a ultra rare axe down here in the end of the post…
Is it only me or is this the first prison without a “chainsaw” or “thor axe”…

From my own post regarding new set ideas in map 4
New set ideas! - By Joha4732

Maybe this could be another solution to the problems with new players unable to survive because their “daily income” is too low ;) By adding a good axe (such as chainsaw or thor axe to the starter set this would allow new players to earn their money from the log mine at spawn instead of going to the real mine and get killed during a lockdown or just by falling the entire way down… Could also be a solution…

@presentpaw

I’d like to counterbalance it by making extremely rare pics have higher rarity in chests.

Awesome that you as soon as you hear a idea think of a counterbalace!!
I like the idea with helping those who earn their way to prestige though mining this way…
Carefull this does not effect the amount of players who x-ray on the server…

@cobramon

*Add back a rare that gives times 2 XP

Because some of the ideas that I had in New set ideas! - By Joha4732 were used in the TOAD SET, I have been thinking about other abilities…
Once of them is btw x2 XP from everything (Not xp bottles) ;)
Would love to see more of the set ideas I had being used in the prison but I am not sure how fast the DEV team works… My post were from Nov 17 but I guess you should never expect the DEV team to work fast…Im JK btw ;) The Dev team is only made of
Mr.Awesomeprisonadmin (@Antfrost) Maybe your comment regarding this topic? (Not regarding the DEV team since they are awesome themselves but more the about the main topic)

@cobramon

Add new picks that are actually good

I believe that the current rare picks are quite good…
I mean like the ultra picks such as wario and Bomb picks are not that expensive and you can earn a lot of money with those if you just use the ability…
For those lategame noobs such as myself I feel like Resetti is very useful every 10 min xD
If you then use resetti to mine the entire layer of diamonds, emeralds and coal ore that will make it close to the 10 min again…
Ofc sonic is also a good pick when there are events such as rainbow rush, diamond rush…

@cobramon

*Increase the number of mining events, events happen so infrequently that people lose interest to keep playing

I feel like the events are happening quite often but idk…
Maybe change is so that a mining event happens after 15 min and then 15 min later a global event happens…
Mining events: Rainbow rush, Diamond rush, Gold rush and Mining boost (Yeah I think a mining boost should be added to the random events that happens because this will also work as a trigger to all players who are saving up their event passes. This will also mean the new players will stay more online because events happens so often…)

Global events: Lottery, Lockdown, Chest refill and Golden grass

@presentpaw

I still don’t like the idea of taking off dura because people would just stock up on items and eventually get bored

I can’t remember if you also played map 1 and 2 Presentpaw…
I felt like ever since dura was added to rare items they have lost the “rare” touch that they once had… This topic about removing dura is quite often talked about both between players such as myself but also between admins and players… If I remember correctly then the “stock up on items” were quite well balanced in map 2 because of the ranks ULTRA and LEGENDARY which required a sacrifice of a full inventory of ultras(for ultra) and (I think) 12 legendary items (for legendary). These rank came after A4 instead of prestige…

@cobramon

*Add an achievement system so people have something to work for

Love the idea about a achievement system! Would work great as a goal for each player to aim for! Idk if it is just me but I thought it reminded me of one of the ideas in another post of mine xD The idea is not the same but I guess the point behind it is kinda the same!
I guess smart guys thinks alike ;)

@joha4732

• Quest line
  A quest line was the first thing I thought about when I was thinking of new things that could be added to the next prison. And we are not just talking about a short quest from 1 NPC. I thought it should be a VERY long quest line that would begin when players were new all the way up to when they prestiged.
  I have noticed that there are some NPCs that does not do anything but just act like a cool visible effect.
  
  Oh look! A npc that does nothing but having a cool skin
  This is also cool but I feel like one of the things that Munchy prison is missing is some kind of guideline. This quest line would work perfectly for this job because players would be given a challenge to complete and then get a reward. I have already thought of a lot of the quest line but since this is just an idea I dont plan on releasing it. What do you guys think?

Awesome work and I always love to read your ideas Cobramon!
