Bins Changes (Job Changes)

[ClassyCustom]

• 1. Regionalized Bin Collection (Neighborhood Collection)
  Bin collection should be organized by neighborhoods or regions. This would mean collecting more trash bags within a smaller, defined area. A map could show designated regions where bins need to be collected, making the process more streamlined. The current system feels more suited to private collection companies, where bins are picked up from scattered locations across the city.
  
• 2. Team-Based Bin Jobs (3-4 Players)
  Bin collection jobs should require a minimum of 3-4 players to make the experience more realistic. This would encourage using larger vehicles like the Biff and Trashmaster, rather than smaller trucks like the Ratloader and Duneloader, which are more appropriate for scrap metal collectors. This change would add a sense of teamwork and authenticity to the job.
• 3. Job Limits for Balance and Variety
  I propose introducing limits on the number of people who can sign on for each job, which would help prevent everyone from flocking to a single high-paying job to earn money quickly. These limits could be dynamic, adjusting based on the total number of players in the city, ensuring a more balanced distribution of jobs. [This would be for all civilian jobs in general]
• 4. Business-Specific Trash Collection Jobs
  Create an alternate version of the bin collection job focused on servicing businesses. This would allow smaller groups or solo players to handle trash collection for businesses across the city, adding variety and an additional layer of roleplay to the bin jobs system.

Bin turf wars? Ok that could be quite funny icl.

Actually really like this idea, having the job limited to a certain number could be an issue to those who sit signed in on it so their friends can do a solo big run.

The Regionalized bin collections, would it be like you start the big job, you get given a certain area of the city and then you go and collect a certain amount of bags from that area? I'd like to see the region you're given randomly as I imagine people will just pick the closest one and speedrun for ez moneys, but if its random I think could be quite good.

Yeah so this is exactly what I was thinking getting a random "neighborhood" to go and collect bins in I think it could be up to 2 different collection neighborhoods in one run and it could be along the lines of "collect bin bags in the Rockford hills area" I'm just using the image above as an example but I think this job design would be more realistic. Obviously so you can't just grab all the bags from the same bin it would be limited to getting only 2-3 bags per bin. Maybe this could be randomised also so there's not always the same amount of bags in each bin

1. Really nice idea, but with the amount of min-maxers not feasible (routes for certain neighbourhoods would be rejected due to pay disparity)
2. Might be more authentic (depending on where you live), but there's also nothing stopping you from enforcing those numbers in your own parties. For everybody else who just wants to chill with a friend, we don't want to enforce further restrictions.
3. Job payouts are constantly being reviewed to try and balance them as much as possible, bins themselves are already on cooldowns.
4. Might be worth a separate suggestion as it would require more changes than detailed (prepping food creating garbage, enough garbage to warrant actual runs, new bins for businesses with none nearby, etc.)

Rejected.

Thank you for the suggestion.​
