FAQ

Commands
Q: Hey, why can't I use any commands?

A: Simcraft for Minecraft is a survival server, and that means no commands as far as teleportation goes (excluding /spawn and /goto [worldname]).

Q: I've seen so many people with protected property, and I want in on that!

A: Simcraft is currently using Residence, a Bukkit plugin. The commands can all be found at here!

Q: As I rank up, will I gain access to new commands?

A: Simcraft does NOT use a ranking system. Everyone has the same rank for the entirety of the time they play on Simcraft.

Q: What? Then why did I see somebody with a red name? Doesn't that mean they have op?

A: Yes, you're absolutely right! Admins on Simcraft will go into op mode when there is a problem, and will de-op themselves right after the problem is solved!

Q: Can I ask for op?

A: No, it is never okay to ask for op. If you have a problem that requires an op, simply wait until one of the Simcraft staff is online. Remember, if the staff member has to go op to help you with a problem that you created, a fee of $50,000 will be charged!

Q: So what happens if I die? I can't warp back to my stuff?

A: If you die, you face the consequences! A staff member will not help you retrieve lost items upon death.

Property
Q: I had a house that I built, it took me hours! When I was offline, someone raided it! I know who it was, can I have them banned, or at least get my things back?

A: In Simcraft, you must protect EVERYTHING you have, because if it's not protected, it's vulnerable! If you are raided and have photographic, or better yet, video evidence, then you can have the other person thrown in jail and have them pay a fine for griefing. If you know who it is, but you don't have any evidence, tough luck!

Q: I bought a piece of land, and my liquids won't flow! What gives?

A: Type (/res set flow true) while standing in your protected land to allow the flow of water, lava and oil.

Q: I bought my land, set it up and block breakers won't break blocks! Why is this?

A: Type (/res set (Land name) [redpower] trusted true) to allow redpower to break blocks. Make sure to use the square brackets!

Q: I was wandering into the wilderness when I came across someone's protected house and now I'm stuck inside the protection! What is going on?

A: Be careful about running into other people's protections; you can become stuck in them, not being able to move back or forth. If /spawn is not an option for you, try logging out and back in.

Q: How much does land cost?

A: Land is $5 per block, and that includes air blocks! An area of 25 x 25 x 25 would be $78125, so be careful with what you build until you have enough money!

Money
Q: How do I earn money?

A: You earn money by selling things to NPC's and other players. Remember, selling lots of common items can be better than searching for and selling a rare one!

Q: Sweet, I just got a payslip for $4000! Where did it come from?

A: Every two hours a payslip is handed out to every player online; $1000 for being online, and another $1000 for every player that is also online. You count as a player for your own payslip, so you get $1000 for receiving a payslip and another $1000 for being online. In this scenario, you plus two other players were online.

Q: What is money useful for?

A: Money is good for lots of things; Property, items, resources and fame are the main perks to a lot of it. Once you have enough, you can cruise around in a Hotrod if you really want, or fly a helicopter!

Q: How do I pay another player?

A: To pay them directly online, type (/pay [player name] [amount]). To pay them through the bank, make sure the sign says "transfer" then type in (player name) (amount). No slash required when doing bank transfers!

Q: What is the bank, and how do I use it?

A: The bank is a place to store your money, where is collects interest every hour and becomes a bigger amount. The bank can be accessed by finding a sign saying "money bank". These signs are located at spawn, in the hotel across the bridge from spawn and one on the outside of the building that the robber lives in. TAKE NOTE: The bank will only store up to $8,000,000 before it wipes your money. Don't leave too much in there, try to keep more on you!

Q: Can I make a sign bank somewhere?

A: No, the creation of banks is restricted.

Q: I saw something about interest. How much is it?

A: Interest is 1% per real day. if you had $7,000,000 in the bank, after that day you would have $7,070,000. Watch that $8,000,000 mark!
