Paper Shortage

There are only six Paper Trees in the whole world.  You (or maybe it's just me) can only pick them once a day. I don't seem to be able to make a Paper Tree Bean (again, maybe that's just my Bean Seasoning Ineptitude).

Can Paper Trees be poisoned?

If so, it would be easy to wipe out the species (assuming the poisoner can get to the one in The Drop, which I seriously can't).  And then what happens if a street needs another hundred billion notes to get created?

PS If there is a Paper Tree Bean, there should be recycled notes in the recipe.

  • At present there are only those six paper trees, you can only harvest them once a game day, they cannot be poisoned, thank GOD!!

    There is no paper tree bean to be bought or made. I suspect that as Ur grows more Paper trees will be discovered, they are rare and wonderful. The solution to paper shortage is harvest each tree daily & write notes infrequently

    Seriously not everything should be easy . . . developing stratagies and planning for projects can be one of the fun things to do here in Glitch, making everything freely available all the time would surely remove another dimension to the Glitch experience.

  • If it were easy, everyone would do it.  I kind of liked that there was a street thing that couldn't be completed in one day.

    I was mostly worried that the Paper Trees could be killed and there was no way to make more. You've eased my mind, Faereluth.

  • It would be kinda nifty if one could make paper from planks. To keep it fairly rare (oh god, Note litter all over!), it could require a lot of energy and a skill with high-level requirements.

  • I heard someone on chat yesterday say that they found a dead paper tree. I also came across one that looked very sickly until I petted and watered it. I think they can die of neglect, and I 'm not sure if they re-spawn randomly or not.

  • The bureaucrocs need to get with recycling. They are obviously hoarding the precious paper resources of Glitch.

  • I like the rarity of paper and hope new rare items are introduced. I think it would make the game a whole lot more interesting.

    I'd like to see special varieties of seeds introduced for a short period of time and withdrawn. It would be interesting to see the ebb and flow of supply of those vegetables over time.

  • Heirloom seeds and seed banks! Love the idea Simplin.
