There have been some updates to the Storage system!
All vendors are now modifiable and have a Master Prim, so you can change their appearance to your hearts desire. You can also choose not to use any mesh at all if you want to make, for example, a buffet table with loads of food that your colonists can take from, as requested by @regina.calidius.
We are also releasing 2 new types of storage! (soon tm)
There will be a new craftable 10 slot bag that can be worn, as well as a new 500 slot warehouse available from our Platinum store (patrons).
@drakkhis plans to do a live stream of making those and explaining how to make use of a new API we are releasing with these new storages!
We will also be updating the storage web pages to enable a storage owner to transfer items directly from their storage to a vendor, so that they do not have to remove items and walk all the way to a vendor and store them again. This is part of another update we wish to release discussed below!
There’s also going to be an exciting update to our Vendors and the Marketplace HUB.
We are currently planning to make it so a vendor owner can choose to link their vendor(s) to the Marketplace HUB.
Basically, the main marketplace listing page will change and instead of just showing sale prices of everything on the market, you will instead see a list of all available items in the market that will function as links, as well as of course, showing their stats.
When you click on an item, you will be taken to that items specific page. Up the top, you will see the buy and sell price the market is offering, and you will have the option to buy, or, sell, directly to the market. Kind of like you do now.
However, on that page, you will also see all the linked vendors in the system, that have that same item currently in stock. It will show the coin type and price it is offering that item for, and you will have the option to teleport to that vendors location to make your purchase at that RP zone.
The page will also show vendors of that item that an owner is willing to purchase from players and it will display the buy price. You will also be able to teleport to that vendor and sell your products directly to the vendor at that RP sim.
We are doing this as we want to bring more life to the Marketplace HUBS, by getting all sims products listed in the market, without at the same time taking away FROM the market or the Vendors at the same time. This system allows the market and the vendors to work with each other, for people who wish to link up their vendors and participate.
This system also allows the community to see how competitive prices can be purchasing and selling directly to other players vendors vs just buying and selling for the deflated and inflated prices the market is offering.
Let us know all your thoughts below!
