Set up a roleplay economy
UnbelievaBoat can run the in-character economy for your roleplay server on Discord: salaries for each department, licences and vehicles to buy, fines and bail, and shops for each job. This page covers the basics, then points you to the guide for each part.
What you'll use
- Economy settings
- Role income and store items
- Permissions, so staff can manage money
What each part of your economy uses
| Your server needs | UnbelievaBoat feature | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| Salaries by department and rank | Role income | Department salaries and rank pay |
| Licences and vehicles | Store items with timed roles and requirements | Licences, permits and vehicles |
| Fines, bail and taxes | /remove-money, store items and role income | Fines, bail and taxes |
| Equipment for each job | Store items with role requirements | Job-only shops |
| Leave of absence | A free store item with a timed role | Leave of absence |
Jobs like /patrol or /heist | Custom income commands (Premium) | Job commands |
Set up the basics
- Currency. Set a symbol for your city's money in the Dashboard → Economy.
- Starting balance. Give new citizens some money in the bank to get started, such as 5,000.
- Money audit log. Choose a staff channel for the money audit log, so every payment, fine and purchase is recorded.
- Staff access. Let staff use
/add-moneyand/remove-moneyin Server Settings → Integrations → UnbelievaBoat. See slash command permissions. - Police protection. Add your police roles as rob immune roles, if officers shouldn't be robbed.
Organise your store
Create categories that match your city, such as Licences, Vehicles, Jobs and Services. Members can then filter the store with /item store.
Then follow the guides in the table above, in any order. Most servers start with salaries and licences.
Tips
- Use the same role and item names your server already uses, so members recognise them.
- Test each item with a test account or a test role before announcing it.
- Free servers can have 25 store items with 2 actions and 2 requirements each. Premium gives unlimited items and 5 actions and requirements per item.
