• Custom Currency System: Each player has their own account. When spawning/despawning a vehicle, this money comes from the player's account instead of a shared account.
  
  
• Vanilla Compatibility: The system is coded in a way where buying/selling fuel and coal from vanilla gantries still works, along with finding crates and doing missions.
  
  
• Payment System: You can pay other players for goods and services.
  
  
• Loans System: You can borrow money but prepare for interest per in-game day.
  
  
• Death Penalty: Respawning takes $1000 from your account. (Can be configured or disabled with parameters)
  
  
• Vehicle Protection: only you can workbench your vehicles.
  
  
• Vehicle Recovery: in a bad situation? You can workbench your vehicle from anywhere using "?recover", but you lose all fluids inside and 10% of the vehicle cost.
  
  
• Persistent Saving/Loading: Dedicated servers will automatically load all money and data whenever a crash, disconnect or server close occurs.
  
  
• Autosave System: Whenever a player leaves the server, it saves. All players (admin and non-admin) may also use the "?savegame" command which supersedes the "?save" command. Note: The save file name must be "Career" or you must change the save name in the script to your save file in order for this feature to work.
  
  
• Crash/Disconnect Protection: If you disconnect/crash when in a vehicle seat, the script will look for a button in your vehicle titled "Killswitch" and press it when you reconnect.
  
  
• Admin Commands: Admins have additional commands appear when using "?help".
  
  
• Configurable: The script contains parameters at the top that allow changing of many settings.

This patch adds compatibility between this mod and the new oil drilling update. Note: This version has minimal changes, and was not tested in a multiplayer environment. If any new issues arise, please report them in the Bugs thread or comments below.

• Allows use of the new oil drilling sites using "?claimisland" like normal. The sites do not have to be purchased.
  
  
• The Stormworks devs changed the "Moneky" area in the arid area to "Monkey" so this mod has been edited to match.

---

• Fixed a bug that allowed free fuel from bases.
  
  
• Added a tip for players who join for the first time saying "Type ?help to get started" to help with confusion.

---

Note: This update was originally designed to contain more features, but the new Stormworks update changed how the game interacted with some of the new features. As such, I've decided to release this update in 2 phases. The first phase adds some of the non-affected features and serves as a hotfix to support the new island.

• Support for the new DLC desert island
  
  
• Dynamic UI for bank/shared bank/debt
  
  
• Income tax system
  
  
• Add/set research commands for Classic Career players

---

• Classic Career [BETA]: Classic Career should now be supported, for those players who like to use Research in their career games. If you find any issues pertaining to this addition, please report them to the Bugs discussion. (Thanks to Commander_Neowhulfe for discovering that Classic Career didn't work with my addon)

• Island Claiming: Each player may purchase their own island(s) and privatize them. When claiming an island, the teleport point for that island is set to where the player is standing when the command was ran.
  
  
• Island Co-Ownership: Need people to help you run your empire? You can add co-owners to your island, which have access to do everything that you can except unclaim the island or demote the owner.
  
  
• Permissions System: At any time after purchasing an island, a player can choose which players can teleport, spawn vehicles or bench vehicles at that island. Owners and Co-Owners have full teleport, spawn and bench access.
  
  
• Home Protection: The starting tile cannot be claimed, and all players have full teleport, spawn and bench access.
  
  
• Retaliation Protection: After death, players no longer spawn at the nearest island. They are now brought back from the grave at the home island.

---

• Due to how I had to bypass the vanilla money system, islands can be purchased without actually paying for them. Until I find a way to fix this, it is an honor-system of sorts. Simply deposit the island cost into the shared account using "?deposit" before purchasing the island and it will work like it should.
  
  
• Occasionally the bank falls below $1b and allows purchasing coal/fuel for free. I've figured out what causes this, and have deployed a patch that may or may not fix it. If this bug does return, it can be resolved by depositing money into the shared account.

At the top of the script are a set of parameters. You may modify these to better tailor how you want to play. Some options include adjusting hospital bill cost, debt interest, starting cash, recovery costs and more. You may also add additional island tiles or modded island tiles at the bottom of this script to add compatibility. Feel free to edit all of these settings for personal and server use, but do not re-upload this script.
