Lightman's Currency

What it is for on Indigo

Trade is a big part of what Indigo is about. Lightman’s Currency gives the server a real currency and lets you open a shop that sells for you while you are away.

The basics

Coins come in tiers (copper, iron, gold, emerald, diamond, netherite) that convert into each other, so a shop can charge “3 iron” without you counting stacks of copper.
Wallet: craft one and keep it in the wallet slot. Coins you pick up go straight in, and you pay from it automatically in shops.
Traders are the shop blocks: display case for one item, vending machine and shelf for several, card display, freezer, and more. Place one, put your stock in, set a price, and it sells to other players. They pick up items, they pay, the coins land in the trader.
Item traders can buy as well as sell, so a shop can pay players for wheat or wool.
Bank accounts and ATMs hold coins safely off your body. Cash registers let one counter serve several traders.
Trader permissions let you add partners or the whole party to run a shop together.

On Indigo

How coins first enter the world (starting money, minting, buying from the town) is the owner’s call and is still being worked out; ask in the Discord for the current answer.
A shop inside your claim is safe. Traders are protected on their own as well: only the owner and people they allow can open the stock.
Shops in town are the point of Main Street. If you want a spot, ask.
