Per our discussion Kainzo here is what the Team came up with.
Here is the theory Dana, Dgco, and myself (Airbus101) have created to formulate a Slime ball recipe.
This recipe is designed to be complicated enough to preserve the rarity of slime while feasible and affordable so that members that put forward the effort will be able to have a fair share.
The idea is to start giving uses and value to Mushrooms and Lapuis, while keeping a more complex formula.
The crafting Idea breaks down like this:
32 Red Mushrooms
32 Brown Mushroom
1 Lapis Block
1 leaf block (for the role playing color)
Yielding 1 slime ball
The Economics break down like this:
Mushrooms: grow quite well and are easily harvested rate varies by lighting and placement and activity in the area. Also currently have few usages.
Lapis: while not common people can steal it if you build with it and thus have little use other then the rare coloring of wool. Additionally as you will see below it is not that hard to craft.
Leaf blocks: with the advent of shears leaves are just a trivial add on for color
Cost of a Lapis block creation:
2 Obsidian (current buy price approx 40c stack) (.625 each)
2 clay (1c each)
4 redstone (.1 each)
Creates 1 lapis block approx cost (3.26c)
even with server inflation a lapis block will still be affordable mixture
1 Clay is also a simple
1 iron (iron runs 12c to 40c stack)
3 sand (3-12c stack)
3 dirt (dirt, lazy bastards!)
Top end cost for clay would be .65c each at this time low end .2c
In the end I think you will see this is a complex yet affordable design that keeps with the server
Theme that nothing is free, we are hardcore, but gives the casual player a chance to own some.
