Economy
The economy in PotBS is a player-driven, production-based system. This means that everything is made by players, but not by the avatars themselves.
Players manage plots of anything from lumbermills to shipyards in order to produce goods that can either be sold to other players or be used by the producer themselves. The buildings will then save up hours, in real time, that can be used for production. They will be saved up even when the player is not playing, but only to a maximum of 72 hours. Each account is limited to 10 plots per server.
Many things that a player can produce requires several steps in its production. Ships, for example, are made of ship hulls, which are made of planks, which are cut from trees. Along with this, the ship hull needs nails, which are made from iron, which is refined from iron ore. The ship, along with the ship hull, also needs masts, cannons, several hundred yards of rope, and so on.
While there is no requirement to taking part in the economy system, the rewards of doing so will be great. Economy is also directly tied to the port contention system, as who controls a port might control access to resources only available at that port.
