    There seems to be a huge lack of slime islands on Continuum, causing slimes to be rare, ranging from blue, green, purple and magma.

    With how popular the server is and the amount of players there are, I think some sort of alternative solution needs to be in place. Some items like tinker construct tools require certain slimes, such as the blue one to get its effects.

    I would like to suggest putting these slimes or saplings on the market as an infinite server sale to make up for the lack of slime islands and allow all items that require slimes to be obtainable.

    In just a few days of playing, I have /home points set to 3 slime islands in the Farmworld, 2 of them purple slime. I have posted a few saplings to the market earlier today and have a few more I can sell later, when and if needed.

    Only the Magma seems to be an issue, and this has been noted in other servers as well.

    I managed to find magma saplings easy, but never found a slime island in the farmworld since i started playing the pack.

    Soo, if you sold a few magma saplings on the market, and I keep selling purple slime saplings.... Then problem solved :)

    The big problem here is that people who do have the saplings abuse the market by setting the price too high. some of the saplings were 500mym, and seeing how you can only get currency by either voting or buying it... its a bit too much. Now if there was a way to gain currency by playing or by killing mobs, or whatever else except for voting and buying it with irl money, than the high prices would make sense.

    I think it would be better if recipes for saplings and slimy dirt were added instead.

    For prices, I would like to suggest:

    250 MYMs for x16 green saplings
    250 MYMs for x16 blue saplings

    The prices are based on the idea that normally with some exploring, these saplings should be easy to obtain (even without flight) and with forestry in the pack, saplings are even easier to obtain using a grafter. Assuming people vote 6-7 times (since many of Continuum’s player base is new to the network and probably do not know about the extra vote sites), spending 2.5/7 votes seem fair, especially since this pack is time gated and chunkloading is a huge aspect of this server.

    300 MYMs for x16 purple saplings
    Since purple slime islands are rare, I think it’s fitting to make them cost more.

    350 MYMs for x16 magma saplings
    Since it’s a bit more difficult in the modpack to get to the nether and since the nether is so dangerous, I think these saplings should cost the most.

    50 MYMs for a stack of slimy dirt
    Slimy dirt is easy to obtain (even now with limited islands).

    25 MYMs for x16 blue slime balls
    25 MYMs for x16 green slime balls
    Since it’s easy to get these slimes, it should not be pricey to get the slime balls.

    50 MYMs for x16 magma slime balls
    Again, the nether is dangerous and so these are a bit harder to obtain and so they should cost more.

    100 MYMs for x16 purple slime balls
    Even with saplings, the drop rate for purple slimes is so low that the price should be much higher for these slime balls.

    Lol set prices are stupid. stop whining about stuff being too expensive. if demand is high and supply is low, prices go up. Works like that in the real world as well, grow up and get used to being ripped off.

    I don't think anything said in this forum post warrants your kind of behavior. If you don't have anything positive to say, or anything related to what the forum post is about than don't comment at all, because no one wants to listen to your hostility.
