I have been bored and started working on a kit for tycoon making, but I went kind of overboard and made it into a partway tycoon. I have made it so easy to set up it's not even funny. I've made a unique money collector, and made a neat conveyor belt for wood. The thing is, you have to collect the wood (not implemented yet). I will be making it where you could collect wood for the first factory. I will make it where when you buy the wood colorer you can pick what color to make it. I was wondering what other Ideas or advice anyone have for me about making this tycoon. I plan to take this really far. This will not be liike most tycoons where you just buy things. You will get tons of customizability.

Please, if you have any advice on tycoon making/building, please share. I am an amazing scripter but was wondering what else to add/remove.

I like doing work instead of just sitting there watching bricks "MAGICALLY" move to a spot then disappear. [Idea] Cut down the wood upload it to truck drive it to saw mill convert it to planks then drive to a chair factory make chairs of course... you decide.

Yeah, that's a great idea! I also thought of something: Full customization on where you want your furniture to be placed if you buy some. Though, it will be limited where you can place. Controlled by gui's to buy/move furniture.

Wonderfull idead, but, like, make a donation thingy with the buttons instead of the tool. The tool invites hackers. And dont don't ever make a donate GUI. I think that you should be able to do moe than 1 thing, lie, mining, woodCutting, ect.

Sounds good, my suggestions would be that you can buy machines that cut the wood quicker.

So you could have the wood cut, and the wood has a certain quatily, the wood is then put into another machine to make an item (So a chair will have to have [4] quality wood in order to make it) then make some sort of demand scenario.

The demand scenario will have npc's going to you and asking what they need, and much of something they need. Some of them time you, while others ask for alot of one time, once you've met their needs, you gain money or maybe even exp.

Exp allows you to chop down wood etc faster as well as making it so your tools don't break as easy.

There could be different types of trees aswell, small trees are cut to give low amounts of wood while bigger trees take longer to cut but give more wood.

Sitting there was pretty boring. Needs something for the play to actually do instead of sitting there.

Logic is wonderful.

I am going to make a separate building now, where after you collect wood you put it all in there to have it cut it, you collect the cut wood, then move it to whatever product you are making. Then, later on I will make it where you can "sell" to npc's or a store. Npc's a random price, sometimes greater than the store so its like a chance.

So your saying different companies will purchase your items for more or less than other shops ?
If so it sounds great.
Maybe over a bit of time the amount they are willing to pay for will either go up or down, if no one delivers items to a shop, then it could go bankrupt and shutdown, meaning people might have to deliver the items futher away.

Yeah, I'm saving a lot now. And making tools it alot of fun. I've never made one, but this is interesting how they work. I'm getting the slashing and timing right, then I'll get the functions to actually cut down the tree.

I just added tree cutting system (will add fall down animation later) Logs, Wood, Log cutter, Axe tool (Glitchy when cutting down trees. Don't be right up on the tree.). You cannot earn money atm because I have other things to do. You will have 1000 though when you enter game which is enough. Thanks for trying it out!

Lol I posted the desc on here because its 12:00AM and I'm trying to get done to go to bed. I may not be able to update after tommorrow for a few days. Trying to get tons of work done before school comes back.

You, sir are the most idiotic person on the forums. Free models almost always get you viruses, and, I like actually doing the work. Just copying and pasting takes all the point out of roblox. I can script very well, so I like to put it to good use. This project is fun for me, and if you want to make a tycoon with free models, go ahead. Your attempted "Do not allow replies to this post" was a fail. Your "troll mode" has failed.
