Gem Bank:
The Gem Bank is a brand new feature which is located on all generator islands. This bank is the new metric for ranking the top islands on the server (the island with the most gems in the bank will be ranked as the #1 island). Every 24 hours, all gems that are stored in your bank will accumulate interest. Players are able to increase their daily interest rate by harvesting crops in the farm located next to the bank. It is important that players use their bank wisely! Once gems have been deposited, they will not be able to be withdrawn. The Gem Bank is unlocked once players reach prestige 1.

Autosell Factory:
The Autosell Factory is a brand new feature which is located on all generator islands. Upon unlocking this factory, players will gain the ability to automatically sell their generator drops. Opting to automatically sell your generator drops through this factory will of course come with a tax! Players are able to reduce their autosell tax rate by harvesting crops in the farm located next to the factory. The Autosell Factory is unlocked once players reach prestige 3.

Island Farms (Beetroot & Wheat):
Linked to the above 2 features (Gem Bank & Autosell Factory) comes 2 brand new island farms. Each generator island has 2 farms located on them. The Beetroot farm is directly linked to the Gem Bank and the Wheat farm is directly linked to the Autosell Factory. By harvesting crops in these farms, players will progress through a series of upgrades to increase their bank interest rate and reduce their autosell tax rate. The beetroot farm is unlocked once players reach Prestige 2, and the Wheat farm is unlocked once players reach prestige 4.

Wheel of Fortune:
The Wheel of Fortune is a brand new feature that is located on every generator island. Players must charge this wheel by harvesting crops from either of the farms located on the island. Once the wheel has been charged, players will be able to spin the wheel and receive a random buff (such as bonus generator drops) on their island for the upcoming 24 hours. The Wheel of Fortune is unlocked once players reach Prestige 5.

Miscellaneous Changes
As always with new seasons, it is our primary focus to ensure we deliver enough content, quality of life changes and bug fixes to satisfy our community! Players can expect to see brand new builds alongside a smoother gameplay experience with a handful of our backend plugins being updated with performance improvements. We look forward to seeing everyone this Friday. As always, enjoy!

25th October 2023 - Lifesteal Gens 1.0 Info

AlexMarkey Oct 24, 2023 at 11:57 PM Posted By AlexMarkey {date} at {time}

Gens introduce an exciting new economy concept to Lifesteal, allowing players to acquire and place generators on an island. These generators, in turn, produce valuable gems. With these gems, players can enhance their generators by advancing them to higher tiers, all the while earning experience. The more advanced the generators you place, the greater the yield in both gems and experience! Through the strategic use of these generators, players can progress through various ranks and prestiges, unlocking rewards that enhance their Lifesteal journey! This post will detail information for our new server which will be dropping this upcoming Friday 27th October 3pm MST.

Island World:
The Island World is the home for everyone's generator islands. All players are eligible to create their generator island by using the command '/gens create'. Once your island is created, it can be accessed at any time by using the command '/gens home'. Similar to our other servers, this private island will feature all the same features, such as trusting players, banning players, expelling players, configurable permissions, island chat and much more!

Generator Information:
After creating your island, your next task is to start purchasing and placing generators. Generators can be acquired from the generator shop (/gens shop) using a brand new currency known as 'Gems.' Generators will produce drops approximately every 15 seconds. Thanks to a smart water and hopper collection system, players can leave their generators running for as long as they like and return to a plethora of drops to sell! Newly created generator islands will have a pre-made collection system already setup and ready for action.

Once you've collected enough gems, players can choose to purchase new generators or upgrade their existing ones. To upgrade your current generators, simply right-click on them, and a GUI will open, allowing you to select the desired tier for the upgrade. Alternatively, players can upgrade them instantly to the next tier by using 'shift + right-click'.

Generator Top:
Players can check the top 50 generator islands on the server using the command '/gens top.' Generator islands are ranked based on the cumulative value of all generators placed on each island. If you aspire to compete for a top island position, remember that you'll need to prestige and sell as many drops as possible. This not only increases your island generator limit but also provides you with the necessary gems to reach the highest tiers!

Levelling System:
Each player will have their own Generator Level, which is displayed as a prefix in front of their name. Players earn EXP every time they sell generator drops (accomplished using '/gens sell'). Higher-tier generator drops provide more EXP than lower tiers. When you progress through 25 generator levels successfully, you'll prestige and receive a new set of rewards to aid you in both your Lifesteal and Generator adventures! For more information about your generator level and current rewards, use the command '/gens level.'

Lifesteal Integration:
For our Lifesteal community, there is still plenty of content, griefing and PvP for you to enjoy! Generator levels directly influence the Lifesteal gameplay, enabling players to expand their heart capacity and unlock exclusive PvP-focused kits and sell multipliers. To access the PvP-enabled survival worlds, simply use the command '/wild.' These worlds are where players will gather the necessary resources for constructing their generator islands.

Introduction Tasks:
Understanding the fundamental concepts and features of a server can be a daunting experience, something we aim to alleviate with Introduction Tasks! These tasks comprise a series of challenges designed to instruct all players in the core mechanics of Lifesteal Gens and everything we have to offer. Upon successfully completing a challenge, players can claim a reward. Introduction Tasks can be accessed by using the command '/help.'

Essence is a brand new currency which is used to purchase unique and powerful items from the Essence shop to assist you on your Prison adventure.

The Essence shop can be accessed using the command /Essence. This shop grants players access to all of the major custom items on our Prison server including: Mining Backpacks, Mining Chests, Autosell Chests, Mob Statues, Silverfish Spawners and the all new Mob Drop Hoppers (these hoppers will automatically pick up all mob drops in the chunk allowing for more flexible collection systems).

Private Mine Accessibility:
This upcoming season, Private Mines are being made accessible to everyone! Since their original inception, Private Mines have become the heart and soul of Prison, locking many players away from the content until they manage to prestige.

Alongside this change, players will now be able to see the block composition for each rank when changing their Private Mine blocks.

Introduction Tasks:
After 17 seasons of Prison, learning the core concepts and features can be a very daunting experience, something we are trying to combat with Introduction Tasks! These tasks involve a set of challenges for all players to complete teaching them the main mechanics of Prison and everything we have to offer. After successfully completing a challenge, players will be eligible to claim a reward. Introduction Tasks can be viewed by simply using the command /help. If you see a confused Rookie asking questions, no longer will you need to hold their hand and explain, simply inform them about /help!

This upcoming season, players will be given the ability to bookmark their favourite warps. No longer will you need to write down or memorize the names of warps, simply find your favourite warp inside the '/pmine warps' GUI, and right click it! Players are able to bookmark as many warps as they desire.

Spectating Dungeons:
Dungeons have become a vital aspect of our Prison server. This upcoming season, all players will be given access to spectate ongoing dungeons, a feature that was previously only accessible to staff members! Alongside this change we have also implemented a quality of life command for spectators in dungeons (/tp) allowing you to teleport to currently alive players with ease.
