Plantations Open Beta started!

[sXs]

Goods Pricing is way out of balance.

Cotton in Seaglory. If you sell it back to the port you will get 1 gc per crate.

There needs to be a floor or adjustments made some other way.

Just my opinion though.

[The Lamb]

So here is my concern;

Shouldn't the King and the Governor be able to view:
1. The people currently renting
2. The prices they are renting for
3. How much land they have

Maybe i am missing it, but as a governor, I cant find any of this info other than showing me how many acres we have, are rented and how much is left.
I figured there would be a dashboard of some sort.

[sXs]

Anyone can see who has plantations in any port.

go to plantations overview, rankings and select the port from the drop down menu. It does not show the total acres each person has but it does show the plantation size and the daily production of each plantation.

i have now operated my off-license workshop in regis for less than day, as an experiment. this ive done without permission, using fertile land to grant me acres. few things id like to share, that dont work in same way as licensed plantations:

- fields give no production, this was expected
- no change in workers mood or health, they remain at 76-50
- immigrants dont get to work automatically, only after i save acre distribution
- while improvements on utility seem to progress, as time left drops at good speed, the star rating description always shows inexistent

just sharing this, incase something is not working as intended

[Captain Jack]

This is not working as intended. The intended work is that everything will run except of production.

We will fix this now as it is actually a deactivated toggle.

[Captain Jack]

It is now working as intended:
Plantations with no operating permissions run exactly like those with a permission with one difference: no production is generated.

could we have amount of gb invested in each building to show on our plantations? i have no idea of how much infstracture i have on many plantaions, especially on more populated ones. while the star rating, and its description does give a clue on how much i have used, the scaling between different tiers of improvement becomes large very fast. and the fact that we dont see any inprovement after each full star untill we reach next half stars (after 4 stars, next improvement shows at 4,5 stars, when after 4,5 stars we see descripription change over star rating, before reaching 5 stars)

[The Lamb]

It would be great if the governor or a port had a stats tab that showed info such as:
Tab One would lead to:
1. Prior land permission requests and bid price per acre
2. Current renters and time remaining
3. Current requests and the offer per acre

Also, can anyone answer how to ensure the King and Governor keep their acres without getting out bid or do we just get to? The reason i asked is we had to go through the same process as everyone else.

[Cutpurse]

kings and governours can operate plantations without permission, but they dont get free acres. they need to take part in same bidding process to obtain acres, as do rest of us mortals
