Mining

Mining: Generate Bullets and Moonshine​

In Rails Network Mobsters, mining is a crucial activity that allows players to contribute to the network while earning valuable resources. Whether you're a solo player or part of a family, mining provides opportunities to generate bullets or crates of Moonshine, contributing to the in-game economy and enhancing your gameplay. Here’s how mining works in the game.

Mining for Solo Players​

Generate Bullets:

  • Activity: Validate blocks to generate bullets.
  • Purpose: Bullets can be used for various in-game activities, such as whacking enemies and participating in heists. Bullets can also be sold on the marketplace, or transferred to other players using the escrow function.
  • Slots: The number of available mining slots depends on the size of the player base and the needs of the network.

Mining for Family Players​

Generate Moonshine:

  • Operating Costs: It will cost a family $1,000,000 in-game cash to start a Moonshine Distillery for their family
  • Activity: Family members validate blocks to generate crates of Moonshine.
  • Family Leader's Role: The family leader can decide whether the Moonshine crates go into the family’s inventory or if players can keep their own Moonshine, or a combination of both.
  • Economic Value: The price of one crate of Moonshine is determined by the in-game economy and is equivalent to succeeding in 100 crimes.
  • Selling Moonshine: Players can sell their Moonshine back to the game for in-game cash.

Mining Leaderboard​

Each block validated by a player counts towards the mining leaderboard. Here’s how it works:

  1. Joining the Mining Pool: When you start mining, you join an actual mining pool, similar to mining through a command prompt using miningcore. The miningcore is integrated into the server-side code of the game.
  2. Receiving Blocks: Once you start mining, you begin to receive blocks. The rewards for each block go to the pool operator.
  3. Accumulating Rewards: At the end of every round, all accumulated STEAMX is burnt, and validators are paid for their time via the leaderboard, based on the number of blocks they mined.

  3. Stay Online: Keep your system online to continuously validate blocks and accumulate rewards.
