Build Status Codeship Status for ctcDNightmare/avorion-scrapyardplus

Your salvaging ops are longer then 60 minutes?
You want to get something in return for grinding all the precious reputation?

With ScrapyardPlus you can:

  • buy up to 8 hours total (depending on your reputation)
  • increment your current license in variable intervals from 5 minutes all the way up to 3 hours per order
  • get discounts for bulk orders and your current standing with the owner of the scrapyard
  • earn a lifetime-license for yourself or your alliance and never have to bother with buying an extension again (lifetime status is granted faction-wide!)
  • configure all important things to suit your (or your servers) needs (data/config/scrapyardplus.lua)

Installation (without steam workshop)

Nearly reached lifetime status but lost reputation before finishing it
Nearly there!

Roadmap

  • extend your current license instead of overwriting it
  • longer maximum duration for your license
  • reputation based benefits (max duration and discount)
  • split the license system into private & alliance so you can buy a personal one even if you are in an alliance
  • flexible duration selection via slider
  • lifetime license
  • regenerating wrecks / events to support lifetime licenses
  • polishing current implementation with more texts, events, interactions
