Let's take your
worst case scenario here of 1000 daily cost. That's 84 diamonds (12s per diamond, 1,008 shards) to fund your town for 24 hours.
Pretty much all players have reported getting about 1-1.5 stacks of diamonds (64 - 96) from
one RI.
Breaking it down:
- It currently takes one player 1 hour to fund your entire town for 1 day.
- That's assuming they mined literally only diamonds and no other ores.
- That's also assuming players did not use Silk Touch and Fortune the diamond ores later for what would be about 2.2x the output of 185 diamonds. This pays for another extra day of the generator.
- Seagull Shores currently has a daily cost of 700 shards. That's 58 diamonds for an entire day.
- Your town has 5 actives at this time.
- Seagull Shores pays the majority cost of all of Best in the West with 35 territories (5 over the maximum, because of World Capital)
- Seagull Shores' current Town Balance allows it to run without additional funding for 58 days.
- Seagull Shores is a well established town that has been around for awhile, so the following data is not something newer towns would necessarily have, but that said
- Seagull Shores' current Stored Wealth accounting only Void Storage is an additional 21,835 shards.
- Including other containers throughout the town, the final Current Stored Wealth of your town is 176,321 shards.
- In summation, Seagull Shores could run without visiting an RI or mining anything at all for 310 days.
To confirm, you believe that it is too much of a burden for perhaps up to 2 players having to spend 1 hour on Loka to afford funding an Alliance that is the
World Capital of the Server and also has
greater than the maximum number of territories for one day?
