Description of situation:
Server just came up. I started moving stuff from my warehouse to BluKing with the intention to make it into food. The server gets shut down without any prior warning or pings. I guess the rebel and gas stations weren't working; but, I wouldn't have known that since my route didn't involve any of those places. Therefore, this really can't be my fault.

It's late at night in the state of Texas and I don't have night vision gloves. The Earth Mine all on it's own has 0 lights.

Solution on how to make this work?:
Add lights to Earth mine and other dark areas of Texas

Pros & Cons?:
Lights!

HI,
As it currently stands, these are the up to date company permissions.
https://gyazo.com/c89f314becc49a94e23b84600332497f

Now, what i would really like is the permission that grants access to upgrade the warehouse property. If I wanted someone else aside from me to upgrade the warehouse, I would have to give them the asterik (*) which gives them all permissions.

Solution on how to make this work?:
Create a role in companies called 'WarehouseManage' (because there is already a command called 'Manage' that only allows you to add/remove people from the company) You could expand it further and add more specific permissions but this is the main one I wanted to address.
 

Pros & Cons?
Pros: More specific company permissions that help design better roles

HI
+1 and here's my take:


Does anyone get the feeling of DeJaVu? Just me? Let's take a walk down memory lane.
4.0! Introduction of the whitelisted factions, bitcoin mining and DIRTY MONEY! The idea for dirty money was cool; however, it would have never thrived in Arma. Why? Because people like doing their runs, uninterrupted and without jumping through extra hoops. Back then, you had to figure out through extensive role play means who the mafia was, how they functioned, what to say, etc. before you could start making money off of illegal runs.

This feels like legal runs are being punished because 'too many people do them and they feel invulnerable to being robbed' I believe this change was pushed to not only limit the amount of people doing legal runs; but, to encourage people to do something other than legal contracts. However; regardless of what the true purpose or intent of it being pushed was, I believe all of the changes made are to 'shift the direction of the server'
 

The exporter is just one of the many ways I can make money legally. I haven't seen a 155% contract in like 3 weeks. I haven't even seen 140%. Hell, I'm lucky if I even find above 135%. I've done the exporter practically everyday for the last 1.5 months. Lee has been doing a great job 'tweaking it' so I don't have a guaranteed chance of getting a good steel contract every time I go. When you put something behind a 'wall', it more often than not discourages people from look into it anymore.
 

WHOEVER APPROVED THIS AND LET ME FIND OUT IN GAME IS AMAZING!

I am mining in the iron mine, it's late at night. It's extremely dark out and the only light I have to guide me is my vape pen. I wondered if there is a way I could see where I was going but still have the aesthetic of a Foreman working in the mine. Then it occurred to me, what if I had a 'Miner Headlamp' to help me see what I am swinging my pick axe at.

'JuSt UsE YoUr NvGs'

Let me admire the natural lighting in Arma. It's why it's there.

https://gyazo.com/f8aae58b9c0737a154e234df163f88d5

i noticed from another Arma streamer these cool headlamps. I think it's easy to implement

Pros & Cons?: Pros: More Foreman RP in the mine! Provides great utility not just inside a dark mine/cave. Could be used tactically to blind NVG's in a major. 

Cons: ?

My current suggestion is to swap the location of snow and the uranium processor. Reasons:
1. It encourages people to use the hole in the wall more (more shooty shooty)
2. It encourages more people to use Snow again. With Snow in it's current spot, nobody wants to sell to Snow because it's too far
3. Snow and Uranium Trader would be fairly spaced from the Processor location.

Solution on how to make this work?:

Pros & Cons?:
Cons: The requested location is kind of close to coal processor; but, coal weighs more than other materials and is not really done as a cash grab

Very straight forward. What would it take to implement the same thing we have for pick axe's (bronze, cobalt, vibranium, etc.) and bring that concept over for the wood cutting axe's?

Solution on how to make this work?:
Add the ability to make better versions of axe's

Pros & Cons?:
Pros: More stuff to craft. Adds a new way to progress your farming.

Cons: Maybe it's intentional to not do the special crafted axe's?

Hi, I speak on behalf of all steel miners. I would like a little more 'freedom' when I'm mining steel. I have my map open, I stop mining. However, when mining aluminum, I can have the map open and even get skill checks.

Solution on how to make this work?:
Rework steel mine

Pros & Cons?:
Pros: Lots of happy miners. People rejoice over the simple quality of life change.

Cons: Work to do (not really a con)

Clip for reference. Currently as it stands with the functionality of the warehouse, you are unable to lock the garage doors. You can lock every other door except all of these bad boys. We've had times in the past where people just walk into the warehouse from the garage door entrances because you can't lock the doors currently. This would be a massive win and gain for warehouse owners everywhere as this is a MUCH NEEDED feature.
 

Solution on how to make this work?: Add lock functionality on the garage doors. Or better, make it to where the only people that can touch the garage doors are people that are attached to the warehouse.

Pros & Cons?: Pros: Everyone that owns a warehouse/has access to one can FULLY lock and secure the warehouse. No more pesky intruders. No, please dont add this as a 'buyable addon'. This realistically should have already been a thing.

Cons: The nerds that keep walking into my warehouse are gonna be pretty upsetti spaghetti

 I miss like when in the old days where there would be a harvest fields instead of people having to risk everything to go into a red zone for a really bad reward.
It makes it so people can rob peoples loads more, adds more stuff for police to seize because quite frankly its just not worth doing any drug stuff on the server.
With it being texas/mexico it would make sense to have a coca harvesting field over the border no?  
kinda like how back in 2018 when you guys had the mushroom fields to harvest to then go on and make LSD its bigger risk but better reward and honestly I think people are bored of doing steel runs.
Why re invent the wheel when you had it right 5 years ago??

Here's a better suggestion. As far as I saw, Opium doesn't exist in Texas (maybe I've looked in the wrong areas).
Back in 2.0-3.0 you could go to a public opium field that worked as a gather/process/sell. Quick money. Pretty decent.

This would only work, as Horizon has brought up, if they nerf the price of cocaine into the ground. Having a field that anyone can access with the current price of cocaine would RUIN the economy. I'd only be doing cocaine at that point. I'd never set foot in the exporter.

Please explain what the suggestion is about and why you're posting it?: so a long time ago in an island far far away (before labs and rebel hideouts) there used to be a system in place in order for people to mine crypto from their house using BTC miners. At the time you could mine 5 different crypto currencies, 3 legal one and 2 illegal ones. The legal ones were sold to Brooksfield and traded amongst other players as a form of payment, the illegal ones were traded to gangsters at the time or the other WL factions. Adding this back I believe would show a better early game use for the graphics cards instead of them being thrown on the ground due to people not wanting to grind out for weeks and weeks just to get the stuff to set up a miner just to buy maybe 3 different guns. It would also be a great money sink for some of the rich players to buy them off people who have mined them aswell as setting up the rigs. 

Solution on how to make this work?: bring back the crypto mining for houses even as an upgrade spot

Pros & Cons?:

Cons: may cause slight server lag as it loads in the object and causing the calculation on the database

Pros: makes more player to player interaction from the government/other players in buying and trading in crypto as well as a money sink for players to invest in.

I missed these days wish gangsters was an active faction. +1

Cyanide pulls don't work + how would the medic know where the body is Noone called 911

Ah... i never thought of that. Some kind of device that removes the persons 'life alert' is way better than a death gun.

As the old mafia lead, we would run into the same issue in 4.0 and 5.0 with trying to bleed someone out. This led to us going to EXTENSIVE lengths to ensure we captured our bleed out target at the right time. 4.0 and 5.0 maps were HUGE in comparison to Texas and Florida.

I suggest capturing your target when no EMS are around. A rare opportunity, as it should be. The opportunity to bleed out a players character and have them lose valuable information shouldn't come as easy as your describing it in this suggestion.

As a side note, I did ask for an option to 'demelon' people as a whitelisted faction (because we recently played taki) and was denied.

My vote is -1 solely because I believe you guys are capable of thinking outside the box. However, I respect the suggestion as it is frustrating and I understand completely.

However... if i were you and I was still in the position that i was 2-3 years ago, I'd push personally for a weapon that bypasses the respawn timer. Something incredibly special for whitelisted factions; something only to be used when the right situation calls for it. a 'death gun' if you will.

As somone who used to be and still is a majority combat player that enjoys RP, I hate runs, but have been doing them consistently to prep for class threes. And I know alot of people are doing runs to get everything set up and ready for when class 3s get added. This is a bad solution to a temporary problem. Give it a week or two, and you will have your combat again.

I personally thought Class 3's were coming with the mod pack update. Was just an assumption though.

Maybe I worded this wrong, but the purpose of this isn't to shit on people it's to state a pretty obvious fact. Constant runs and grinding hurts the server as there is less player interaction and less people doing anything other than sitting at steel mine holding F. I don't care about making everyone do combat I literally made this post bc I want to RP with people on the server and I cannot do that when I see the same 20-30 people every single day. I could care less about how much money you are making (Though I do think it's silly) what I care about is I have never once seen people like Nex, Trick, or various other Grinders on the server, I know they are on but I never interact with them. The server feels empty and I want to fix that.  

@Trick Sanchez @Michael Giuletto

This is an issue that should be fixed by our whitelisted factions. They've been RPing with us the past few days (we've also been fighting back and forth) but maybe they should hold more public events to interact with more people. Where's the mafia, gangsters and bikers when you need them?

Type of Suggestion?: (e.g. server suggestion, server rule suggestion.) Server Suggestion

Please explain what the suggestion is about and why you're posting it?: (try use an example of what has happened in-game) As is even with the server pop being basically full I don't see fucking anyone all day, I see the same 10-15 people everyday and its honestly kind of draining. There is no player interaction at all. It makes no sense to me that we allow people to do truck runs for 10-15 hours every single day. It hurts the server in ways you don't even know. There needs to be something done about it or it will be Florida all over again. Economy will be fucked by the kids who have nothing else to do all day then sit at their computer and hit F and people will burn themselves out and leave by .5. Also with the people doing legal runs, we all know they are either doing the Exporter shit for tons of money or are stocking up to craft massive amounts of class 3's. 

Solution on how to make this work?:
Add a rule that bans doing more than 3-4 runs a day or simply make it okay to rob the people doing legal runs. 

Pros & Cons?:

Pros: More player interaction, More people doing things other than runs (Robberies, ACTUALLY ROLEPLAYING)

Cons: Grinders Cry because they can finally be touched

Hi, Grinder here;
I thought this issue got solved? Doug gave the W for Bischerman taxing the wall at steel mine since this doesn't break the rule "You can't rob legal runs' since they technically aren't robbing the run. They are taxing it. Refer to screenshot:

The reward is high once they can start crafting class 3s from the resources gathered from the runs they are stockpiling 

Please tell me where you and others are getting this crazy claim that we're stockpiling weapons? Maybe other people are but I know I'm sure as hell not. Want to know what I've been doing? Exporter. That's it.
I wait for exporter contrracts to refresh at the top of the hour, then I grab the highest percentile one for steel. Steel pays more than earth. It's always been like that since 3.0 (maybe even 2.0 but I only played after 2.8)
I run steel from the mine to the gang warehouse. 'Gang' as in 15-20 people pooled money together and bought a 2 million dollar warehouse. Crazy right? Not really.
Guess what? We're still pooling money to get all of the perks for the warehouse. We have a steel processor which is why we only run steel.
So what does this contract entail? Well, this current contract I am on is for 6,000+ steel. A 600 slot truck holds 300 unprocessed steel. That's about 15-16 trucks (including inventory space). Contract was at 155% so at the end I'll get a great payday; but, at what cost?
It takes me no joke 12-14 hours to complete it. No normal person is going to do that by themselves. They might enlist friends so they can split it. It is safe to assume, that was the original purpose of these massive contracts.
However, you can't always get what you want. There has existed since 3.0 mind you, people like me,like Pug Winter, like Parker Snovle, like Riiken Tenkashie, like Sam Ryder and onel from the past to all the new grinders I've met today (Devin Rouge, The Alucard Brothers some to list). So listen up, because this is a message from us grinders.

You can't tell us how to play the game. We'll always be here. You're not stopping us.

The screenshots should speak for themselves. I've put a lot of time into not just Anzus; but, Arma in general. I was ranked (at the time when I first left in 5.5) #4 most played time on Anzus. I've had to pleasure of competing with Parker in his prime. I still have my 3rd place 3.0 and 2nd place 4.0 trophies for grinding. I was rewarded from the very start for doing what I do. I understand the function/mechanics on Anzus to a point I could more than likely write my own guide on it. Though on my streams, I may smoke weed (legally, recreational) and seem like a total goober, I'm Anzus smart.

Geez, I make a statement and you both took it way out of context as if I'm saying the idea was bad or something, because of his level? I really didn't even get how you drew your conclusions. My status also has no influence on the outcome of the suggestion. I could go to any suggestion and give it the same criticism as anyone else, but I didn't have anything pro or con to say for it at this time. Whatever helps you sleep at night boys. 

Taken out of context? You made a shitty side comment about my friend and I'm defending him and his hard work.

I don't care what your thoughts on this suggestion is.

and you're right. Your snarky comment did contribute absolutely nothing to this thread

However, I never implied your status would have any impact on this/any suggestion, did i? Maybe you worded your original comment that started all of this wrong?
