In Game Name: OConner1279What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for: All Main ServersShort title for your suggestion: Replace "Flux Mode" with EfficiencyWhat are you suggesting: Flux Mode is a flat downgrade to the magic pick. It does not benefit from bonus drops from boosted ore, which is the lion's share of magic pick earnings. Even worse, while you are using those ores, whenever you right click with the magic pick, you switch modes, causing you to lose earnings & autopickup. The benefits are zero. Nearly everyone using a magic pick has /smelt all. If they do not, many players are willing to /smelt all for free, and /smelt all doesn't make a difference for sell price. Now, the question is what to replace Flux mode with. I propose giving B1 pickaxes Efficiency IX (9). Efficiency 9 would be a less good version of the B2 perk (instabreak deepslate ores). It would allow the magic pick to instantly break blocks like cobblestone, decor blocks like deepslate bricks (which are not already instantly broken at any level), and non-deepslate ores *while standing on the ground*. This would be a modest buff to the magic pick. I am not aware of any possible exploits caused by this change.Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?: Replaces a downgrade with a modest upgrade in exchange for boosts. It's also very annoying when eff7 can't easily break certain decoration blocks.Other information: If it's too hard to apply retroactively, that's fine. A prospective application would be good enough.Plugin or custom addition: BoostsOne suggestion per form: I Understand.
I agree with replacing flux mode with efficiency. Smelt all is not hard to access as you stated. The benefits of flux mode are minimal. +1
+1 The flux boost would have been nice if there was a significant enough difference between the raw and smelted prices of ores to offset the loss of drops, but with the prices the way they are, Boost 2 makes no sense.
As a 68-year-old player, I have no idea how you keep up with all the different tools, armor, events, and more. Impressive, most impressive. That said, it seems that any tool upgrade should be a positive, and never a negative.
+1 Well said. All tools should be an upgrade, being in game-play, not just something that is a technical upgrade that might be rarely used anyways.
+1 I am always changing back into Raw Ore mode because why would I want to get less when I got Smelt all and desmelt all? With no change in the price for raw vs smelted ores. On top of that, flux mode basically makes Forgemaster as a job completely pointless. Smelt and desmelt helped with that but now it just kinda helped drive that nail in the coffin for wasting time using the blast furnaces and furnaces and other job blocks that we are meant to hone our levels with. Definitely agree with making it better eff level so it can insta break regular ores and the decor blocks.
