[Discussion] Would a Server wide money cap break an MMO?
Main Post:
Before I start this, I have to say I am not an economist and really have limited knowledge in this field. But MMOs I think always have this weird niche with how money in their games work. As X MMO gets older, the ways to get money expand and overall players get richer and richer overtime. Players spend their money for enchantments, other gear, potions, blah blah we know the deal. But ultimately players will start mass gathering money and for the most part horde it. They will start amassing larger and larger amounts of funds to the point where they reach the maximum amount of gold for a player.
I believe this is a major issue. Depending on the game, it can drastically cause problems. Examples, In FFXIV currently, a new housing district where players can own houses for themselves and for their Guilds opened up. With minutes of the servers coming out these houses were all bought up and because of the game, left plenty of players without a house. Housing in that game is a first come first server to whoever gets to that plot first as long as they have the money for it. But after an entire expansion and multiple decreases to help players afford buying a house, players have massed a huge amount of money and only couldnt get a house because they either couldnt log on early enough or had a log in error that made them sit in a queue in order to get into their server.
Now other games have kind of dealt with this issue. BDO with their money = power mindset and RNG with enchantments has to extend help with mass hording money but did it really fix the issue? EvE ships when they are destroyed are destroyed for good, but has led to players just amassing money never really investing into larger ships I think has lead to one issue now where citadels which I thought were these huge accomplishments are now common to see multiple in a single system. WoW I believe has entire real auction houses being owned by a few people who amassed gold.
Maybe I am wrong, but I am curious if people would like to see an MMO be tighter with the amount of gold that goes out to players.

The main issue that arises is that new players would be forever poor if the super-rich held a monopoly on the large sum of Gold in a game.
how to break Tropico 6 to get infinie money and infinite swiss money using filthy rich tourism celebrities and choice edicts
Main Post:
so i found a way to get infinite wealth and infinite Swiss money please read on to find out more.
step 1 if you are starting in cold war or earlier when you want to advance to modern times do not do the 500 tourists on the island route. filthy tourists will use any hotels and in the best case scenario we would demolish all middle class tourist infrastructure to make way for the uber rich tourists however demoing said middle class infrastructure causes the game to not spawn the 6 celebrities. solution go to modern times by developing nukes or stealing a wonder, preferred choice is the coliseum.
step 2 build the farming infrastructure for three cigar factories (6 hydro farms->3 cigar factories) set those factories to provide for local market.
step 3 research the airport
step 4 near the coast build the following 6 luxury hotels build these in a cluster and off to one side build a fire station, metro and fast food joint . set the fire station to cat in tree mode burger joint to free delivery and max the budget for the metro. build the ministry and hire the capitalist economic minister (+7 to the performance of buildings on max budget) build 6 yacht clubs a day spa and a detox clinic.finally after all that is built the last thing to build is the airport set that to luxury flights
step 5 set the workmodes for the day spa and the yacht clubs to the following. yacht clubs set to Mucho importante (2nd mode) and day spa to scalpel and champagne
step 6. max the budgets for all entertainment buildings including day spa and detox clinic
step 7 with this configuration the tourists will first go to the yacht clubs then to the day spa, then finally to the detox clinic.
step 8. wait until the radio calls out the celebrities. the two you want to stay around are Brittany T and jose fuego
step 9. when these two do come in wait for them to spit and give them a positive spit back now they can be housed in super villas
step 10. when these two celebrities are housed employ Brittany T doing Luxury Patronage and Jose Fuego as professorship.
step 11. now here is where the game starts to break Luxury Patronage funds 4%, then 8% and finally 10% of the wages and upkeeps of all luxury entertainment buildings. day spas count as luxury entertainment therefore one could build these and get compensated for the wages and upkeeps of these buildings. jose fuego can increase the speed of graduation for university students. the connection here is that Jose fuego provides the educated workforce needed to " run " the day spas we will be spamming and Brittany T provides the compensation for all of those people. in order to exploit this build 24 day spas set to scalpel and champagne and max the budgets for all those buildings next build modern mansions set to Upper Upper class. you will have around 120 filthy rich people after building all that not counting anything from the industries you built up prior to this. if all this goes well Luxury patronage should earn you close to $1 million dollars into the treasury ( look under revenue then Misc revenue.) to earn unlimited Swiss money the fastest way is to use the tropican papers edict ( 15% of whatever rent a filthy rich person pays is sent to your swiss account.) here is the math for 120 filthy rich people staying in 120 villas whose profit is $320 rent per villa.$S 48x120 households=$S 5,760/month so 5760x12= $S69,120/yr you read that right 120 filthy rich people paying 15% of their super villa rent can net you S$69,120/yr if you are playing without Lobbyistico you could literally be a multimillionaire presidente with a multi million dollar treasury to boot all off of luxury patronage and Tropican Papers. thank you all for reading this guide to Uber wealth and Uber swiss wealth with Celebrities, Extremely high end tourism and Edicts.
Edited to add images to display the "gameplay feature" in action via pictures note i am using the scenario Lobbystico to speed up the gathering of all this evidence
Edited again to update math for Tropican Papers edict $S 48 is the amount that you get per household living in a Super villa x the amount of households x 12
the first picture is revenue take note of the fact that i highlighted income from Luxury Patronage Occupation for Brittany T Second picture is Swiss revenue the highlight here is that all this was made from one edict that bieng Tropican Papers here is my very modest tourist area take note of the fact that the four yacht clubs are in VIP mode and boosted by 3 tobacco factories in the north which are set to provide for the market mode. off to the side i have 8 hotels in range of metros a fire station and fast food joint. the airport is set to luxury flights and there are 6 super villas beyond that for my Celebrity guests. there is a child museum set to religious fostering i bought the upgrade for that building ( increases effectiveness for an increase power draw) that building increases the effectiveness of the beauty farm to 143 the yacht clubs are at 150 i placed 3 radio stations close to the museum in order to further boost its effectiveness here is the spam i had to do to get the necessary luxury patronage revenue there are around 30 beauty farms here each on 3rd workmode (champagne and scalpel and all maxed budget you can also see the housing for this block ( the filthy rich live in mansions tropican papers works better when filthy rich are housed in the highest rent houses (modern mansions and super villas.) here you can see the wealth makeup of my population the 265 uber wealthy here are those who work in my beauty farm district or in my research centre and its these people that "donate " when tropican papers is active here you can see the occupation for my supporting celebrity that bieng Professorship ( increases the graduation speed of all university students by at max level +50% Here is the real star Brittany T her occupation is Luxury Patronage which funds 4% then 8%, then 10% of the wages and upkeep of all luxury entertainment buildingsTop Comment: Thank you so much, from your post i understood why celebrities dont spawn in my game
Does anyone make money or break even from solar panels/battery installed at home?
Main Post:
I'm curious to hear stories from people who have purchased solar panels and batteries like the Tesla Powerwall in recent years. Have you been able to sell energy back to the grid and generate cash? Enough to pay for the system?
Top Comment: There is already a lot of great information in this thread but I would like to add a few pieces that I haven't seen mentioned. Solar Curtailment: Having roof top solar is great but in large quantities, it causes problems for the network, we already have some suburbs where the amount of solar power being generated at peak times is more than the combined consumption in the area this causes the frequency to rise and when it gets really bad causes the network to cut off to prevent damage. Most of the network to date has been designed for power to flow in a single direction, from the power plant to your home and on the way it will pass through a substation that manages your local area. These substations are designed to be one way so if there is too much energy within the grid they manage they can't remove it and things start to break. To combat this energy companies have been lowering the feed-in tariffs in areas to disincentivise the addition of more solar and it is likely that in the near future some areas will have to pay if they feed in. So if you are in an area that already has a lot of home solar there is a risk that within a few years you will no longer get a feed-in tariff. Tariff Structure: If you do decide to get a battery, please make sure you look into a Time of Use energy plan. The main financial benefit of having a battery is energy arbitrage, this can happen in a few ways but the simplest is that your battery allows you to save the energy you generate for later use instead of getting a 7c feed in kickback, if you are on a time of use plan and have a properly sized battery most households will find that the battery will last them through the afternoon "shoulder" period and most of the "peak" pricing period in the evening increasing the amount saved by the electrons in the battery from 30c a KW to 45c (depending on the plan and grid operator ) and you can take advantage of the cheaper energy rates in the "off peak" times. Battery Optimisation Services: As described in the section above the batteries greatest value is energy arbitrage, but by default, your battery isn't aware of your tariff structure or historical usage patterns. So it will do a simple "load following" process to collect energy and dispense energy. This isn't always the most cost-effective option, sometimes it's better to hold onto the energy in the battery for use at a more expensive time of the day or even charge the battery from the grid (say overnight when energy is cheap) for use at a more expensive time of the day (to make coffee in the morning.) Adding this level of smarts to a battery increases the savings further but the only mob that I am aware of that offers this service in Australia is Evergen but more will likely enter the market over the coming years. VPPs: Lastly Virtual Power Plants, there are a few of these around ( Tesla , Evergen ) the idea is to network batteries together and to then bid them as a group into the energy market. Thus generating additional value from the battery for its owner. I can't find it now but I have seen a study that claimed that 1kw of dispatchable capacity is worth $30 per year on the frequency market, if you have a 10kw battery with a 10kw inverter that is an additional $300 per year. Batteries are a longer payback than solar panels, but for most people, they take a lot longer than they should to payback because the owner is not taking all of the opportunities available. So if you do get a battery PLEASE look into all of the above and make it work for you!
