Description of the idea:

Main idea by @Shay

Defence Presets

Have a database of preset defences in all properties for all players to use. For example;

1. Custom defense that was made by staff members and for sure allowed by rules, without any doubt
2. They can make a defense, staff members take pictures and vote if it should be allowed or not, then they can save it. We will also make changes to the defence if necessary.
Props will be taken from your storage and you can unlock Org Storage Presets in your organisation at like level 10-20 so you can just put the props in org storage.

What would this mean for people that don't build defences but instead PassiveRP scenarios?
Simply said, nothing.
They could still build whatever they want as long as it is used for PassiveRP.

Using this system would cost money. It all depends on how many props you use, this will have to get discussed. If your playtime is under 1 day you can get simple defences made for free at bank.
This way everyone is happy and no one can complain about defences.

Trying to loophole this would obviously result in a punishment.
To get a base approved, you simply make a report. You CANNOT have drugs inside the property while you are running an unapproved build, as soon as it gets approved. Rules would have to be made around this function for this.

How it would work
You buy a property, after clicking buy a menu pops up asking you if you want a preset defence or no defence. If you choose a defence, there will be a dropdown menu with defences you can use, all defences will have a link to a few screenshots of the base. (Community made ones) You can also just choose Basic and an Advanced base defence made by the Staff Team. These will have a set price. After you buy a property with a defence, the props will be spawned where they are supposed to be spawned from your storage (or org storage if chosen too and perk unlocked).
After this, you can no longer place props inside the property other than Planters, Chem Tables, Workbenches, Televisions etc.

Construction Book
If this is really hard to code, there would need to be a book written similar to the old construction booklet but instead of the construction booklet being made by Staff, it would be filled with community made defences that are approved by the Staff Team
This is the 2nd idea, this way people can make what they want and other people can use this as a guide to build bases. If your base gets approved, it will be put in the book with its own page and name chosen by the creators. The Staff Team can use this as a guide aswell and this way there are no exceptions anymore and every staff member

Why should this be added? (pros):
  • No more crying about base defences that get approved by one Staff member but denied by a different one.
  • Less reports about bases.
  • Everyone has a fair base that isn't considered 'OP', because everyone can use it.
What negatives could this have? (cons):
  • Some props could become useless, but I doubt this.
  • First few weeks Staff Team would be very busy.
  • More rules.
Other additions:
  • A system to prevent props being placed in a property with a preset defence.
  • Godstick options to remove presets and add presets. (I'd say Senior Moderator+)

How exactly is this power hungry? Many people obviously cannot behave building bases and we keep changing them, we are only trying to prevent salt tbh

Yes, like I said, people can make bases and we can screenshot them and put them in a booklet as a guide for other players on what to do and what to not do
