Make trading or money fork with configurable currency name (default "credits" maybe) and economy API

[Poikilos]

:edit: Bucket_Game has economy features now. See comments for suggestions on how to proceed.

I could fork one to be a pure "non-opinionated" API (none of them are pure APIs, all come with random nodes or physical money craftitems).

• Consider making the API compatible with some other popular currency mod, so existing mods can utilize it (use same namespace, or extend/fork an existing mod).
• trading: Fork trading to allow send & accept GUI dialogs see also TenPlus1's barter-only fork of money (or currency?).
  • The trading mod is missing a GUI to choose desired item (TenPlus1's barter-only fork still requires putting in item string for the item you want).
• Only allow stores in certain area, so as to encourage a server-wide economy (see #225 Environment Privs).
• Add stores where you can use credits to purchase items (a finite count, placed there by the store owner).
• mod-value: For default value, or value for "jobs," consider using mod-value. Some values are already in mod-value.
  • The mod may need some integration work (?)
• exchange: Replace or integrate the "exchange" mod (added to Bucket Game 190818).
• econ: Fork or integrate econ mod: "Simplified yet somewhat realistic currency/economy mod"

Mods with a commodities exchange focus:

• global_exchange: global_exchange has the following nodes:
  • Exchange: search and post orders, view a summary of current market prices
  • ATM: make account, view balance, send money
  • Digital Mailbox: claim items sent to buy orders

It wouldn't be such a silly idea to create several "game modes" such as is used in many other types of game.

Categories could include Economic, Conquest, and Builder.

The only difference in these modes being which mods get loaded by default. We're already doing this exact same thing with Wonder Mode and Bucket Mode, it shouldn't be too difficult to achieve and would make a nice new addition to the GUI menu.

Suggested modes:

Economy Survival Builder

I tend to think that if survival is correctly balanced, that any economy mod would plug right in, and an economy mode with separate balance should not be needed. In my experience (including monitoring the thriving economy that MisfitMC had) the primary reasons for economy are:

• Offset resource gathering time so players can focus on other interests (the purpose of money and barter in real life)
• Minimize recovery time (such as by buying high level armor and tools) after loss incurred by the harder aspects of PvP and PvE (or by specific challenges that servers or additional mods offer, such as additional structures including handmade or generated gauntlets with prizes) @HenryNautilus @EliotSeineRoe What do you think?

• [ ] Make features configurable that don't fit into an API-only paradigm.
