New garbage system potential problem
Great idea. But I see the following risk: Usually the player number on a server is dropping within the first days rapidly. So, we have a lot of private dumps that are polluting the city and are not accessible. Unless an admin makes them one by one by hand.
Solution ideas:
(For everyone can pull out the garbage, or at least recyclers?)
*Make the dumps as public take out only (input is still private), as default (players can change if they want to, but not many would do).
* But other players dumps are invisible in the default storage few and ignored as input source.
Completed
Hello, everything mentioned in this suggestion is already solvable by means that are already in the game, I'm hence closing it as completed. When using Garbage Pickup Bounties, garbage can only be taken from storages but not be put into them - this is the intended way without requiring any authorization to be given to begin with. If you want players to generally be able to freely take garbage from but not put it into storages, the law system can achieve that. Similarly, the law system can also grant access to deeds of (abandoned) players if necessary for cleaning up any pollutants, this also works when players are not willing to cooperate. The law system is specifically intended to handle such matters and functionality in Eco is always created with its usage in mind - introducing special cases in regard to how specific storages work would be a workaround introducing high complexity in both usage and maintainability for arguably little benefit.
