TOPIC: [SSRP Suggestion] Make printers great again!

Server Name: SSRP

Suggestion Title: Improved printers, or at least improved standard printers

How would it benefit the server: It would encourage more basing by making people less afraid to invest in high-cost ways of earning money.

Potential Issues/Exploits: If done incorrectly could cause further imbalance.

Additional notes: As a dealer, a standard user can plant 5 spores and 2 seeds at once, totalling $1,500. In ten minutes, you can turn this into $900,000, which is 600 times what you spent. This amount used to be a lot less, but as the server currency has been inflated, this value has been adjusted. However, the same is not true for printers, which have been mostly forgotten about. To break even with a fully upgraded printer, it can take approximately an hour if you're lucky. I do think this printer upgrade should be almost across the board, but it should be especially true of the standard and VIP printers - these printers especially (as things are at the moment) are not worth investing in due to being high risk, high cost and low reward. Comparatively, being a dealer is low, risk, low cost and high reward. Yes, you can get boosters, but again these don't actually improve the printers very effectively given the amount of risk and money you're investing in to them.

yes

VIP gay printer makes no money, all of the VIP benefits are pretty much redundant and could do with a rework

I think the ship has sailed on that, unless you plainly divided everyone's money by a set amount lol. I think the best solution is just to re-balance the things that have a fixed yield/cost.

Agreed, printers simply need to be updated to keep up with the current value of a zarp dollar. In turn basing will become more popular, meaning both criminal and police jobs will become more rewarding due to the prospects from raiding.

The point is there should be more different ways of making money not just increase the amount of money you can make an hour. The game is less fun if defending a nuke or spending 3 hours hitting an airdrop are literally the only worthwhile ways of making money

boosting is the past, present and inevitable future

they should add a rule against using alts to print and buff printers, you can make billions overnight with a rack of specials by making the alts place them to bypass the special printer limit.

They should buff Standard/VIP Printers and nerf specials by a lot
That way special acts more like a way to get a few more "VIP" printers and not a way to earn a shit ton more money from a single printer

They could make specials that are already common more common so newbies obtain them more easily
and the more rarer printers (Like summer) a bit more stronger than the VIP ones

Or add an item that let's you spawn any printer from the F4 Menu and make it so max is like 4 Printers or something (and make it stackable like for example 4 Nuclear Printers)

just saying drug dealer can make 6 mill an hour without printers
I believe the standard/VIP prints should get a buff but the rest are fine.
