Description
Dismantle watches for the Gears inside to use as an agreed upon currency.

This mod is mainly for RP servers who want a currency that promotes people going to clear zombies rather than getting rich from being loot goblins & ransacking a whole Gigamart to themselves.




You can attach 10 Gears together for ease of inventory management.
The Gears can be stored on your Keyring, turning your named keyring into your personal Wallet & makes it easy to access.
The original recipe to get Elec scrap from Digi watches still exists for those who are desperate for the scrap & you still receive the same amount of elec xp when you create the gears.

Red/Black Digital watches = Copper Gears

Military/Classic watches = Silver Gears

Dress/Gold watches = Gold Gears

The value of said gears is up to you & the players, this mod does not add a trading system, just the means for one to grow organically.

Savegame safe, SP/MP safe, recipes are not locked behind any books/professions. Gears for everyone!

Really appreciate that this mod is just for RP reasons, it works perfectly for us!

I see. Too bad most Currency trading mods are just so OP and at the same time made currency too complicated. While your mod looks neat, sadly it doesn't have that feature. Anyways, thanks for the info.

@Zannen yes, inflation & prices going up is exactly what the person who commissioned the mod wanted. So there will never be any trading additions

@darkmoriarti, no you got my point wrong, this is exactly why I thought of this due to inflation. Sooner or later everyone is rich, prices just keeps going up. So, the idea was, to Use Gears to buy simple Consumable items such as ammo, canned food, crafting materials like nails, & etc., that would run out eventually from the game when Loot respawns are off. Prices, changeable via Mod Options or manually from server settings.

@Zannen nope, this is not a trading mod, just the currency. The value of said currency is for the players to determine, if its value is “set” I.E in the crafting menu x number of gears = a can of beans etc then people who are lucky enough to get to play a lot will get very wealthy very fast, which is unbalanced for RP servers (the server this was commissioned for was hard RP)
As the gears value is not hard locked to some loot value, inflation can happen & organically occur when there are more gears floating around the economy, plus having the “trade” done in a crafting window takes the fun out of the interaction. There are plenty of “trading” mods on the workshop already

This Currency is great, but would need something to drain it, otherwise it would be too abundant which doesn't give it any value. Could you add an expansion for this?
Just simple stuff like these:
From Crafting Menu: Gear Trade
Gears + HAM Radio(Not Consumed, must only be beside it) = The Following:
Finite Materials for Crafting or Building (Nails, Screws, Metals, Propane Tanks)
Ammunition
Vanilla Guns
Melee Weapons

Prices can be customized by server admin/owner, via Mod Options.
This would help fill the need to get these currency which would greatly increase the value of this Currency as it helps with filling mostly the usual consumable items.
