Upcoming Updates
In this discussion I shall be making outlines for what to work on for upcoming updates. This will mostly involve balancing everything out and keep to the main mod as much as possible.

v1.1
  • Modify interest rates as an effort to balance mid to end-game credits gain
  • Alter spawn rates for the event "Bank Robbers"
  • Cleanup
v1.2
  • Randomise interest rate interval

v1.3
  • Remove Bank Robbers

v1.4
  • Enhanced dynamic interest rate to interval
    - This includes a bar that adjusts the rate while changing the interval. Please check the table.
Far Left
Mid-Left
Middle
Mid-Right
Far Right
Rate
+50%
+25%
-+0%
-25%
-50%
Interval
30 Minutes - 2 Hours
15 Minutes - 1 Hour
7 - 30 Minutes
3 Minutes 30 Seconds - 20 Minutes*
1 - 10 Minutes*
* - I may change these, and perhaps the others to balance better

Ideas for the main mod
  • Modify bank window to include
    - Current interest rates
    - Upgrade button costs also include information about the upgraded capacity
    - A bar and information to how full the bank is and its maximum capacity
  • Create a prefix such as: Mega-, Giga- as a result for each level of the bank
  • Loans
    - The ability to take out a loan with several options scaling to level and distance from [0:0], that must be repaid over time or risk being attacked by [Debt Collectors]

*¹ - I found this issue out while on a server with some friends. I had a bank created on the server, however they could not make one, furthermore they could not access my bank. If one intends to have a server with this bank mod and the original, it's not possible presently to make it so you can have more than 1 bank on a server, which sucks...
Just a heads up for those who didn't know

not even posible spawn it with commands or something? me and some friends tried to launch a modded server with this mod, but when we gonna build dont let us

Hm, I initially spawn in ships that could create stations for my tests. Spawning with commands or devmode wasn't something I attempted. - Then again my tests were on singleplayer, and I had no powers on the multiplayer server I was on.
- I've attempted to contact the original mod developer for Bank Stations about this issue but they have yet to respond or acknowledge what I have asked and written. Unfortunately my skill and knowledge for programming is presently still in a beginner stage so-to-speak and I'm not sure how to work around the only 1 bank station per server problem. That said I would recommend testing to see if more than 1 station can be made by anyone with the original mod. If not I'd recommend putting that mod and this mod aside for the sake of balance. Once I've managed to sort out the issues with our mods - if possible, then it should be alright then but for now, I'm at a loss for how to proceed.
I say 'balance' since only 1 person in the entire server can have a bank and no-one but the owner can access it. it's a HUGE problem in itself for economic balance on servers imo

yeah, i can see how the balance can be easily destroyed with just 1 on a pvp play / large server ( not my case tho cuz its a small hardcore config co-op) but the case is, no one of us builded it, but if i try to press build just dont make any reaction at all, for that asked u if its posible to use some command/modified file to spawn one / build it / discover if exist one already for the map gen. apart of it i hope the original creator respond u soon to advance the mod, looks like a good remake of the mod ^^ ( srry if my english its bad/difficult to read and ask to probably nothing to you related problem)

Indeed, I agree. A level of balance I feel needs to be maintained so I may modify my mod a little more so to that end. I sincerely hope that I can establish some form of communication with the original mod dev so we can have a discussion on making their mod and my addon work well for multiplayer and perhaps generally better overall.

As for spawning it in through commands, i'm still not too sure tbh. Devmode - aka /run Entity():addScript("lib/entitydbg.lua") has many options including all stations however direct spawn commands... I'll require some time when I'm free to check it out. All the same, thank you for letting me know and I'm sorry that I can't fix the problem (yet).
I'll keep the discussion updated should something happen in future regarding changes to the original mod and any discussion with the creator.
