Daily Ration System 1.0.0

The Daily Ration System is a standalone NPC-driven supply distribution feature designed to provide players with access to free, limited, and automatically refreshed consumables through a structured global stock market.
 

• Free Supply Market – All listed items are distributed at no cost to the player.
• Global Shared Stock System – Each item is tied to a centralized stock pool that decreases with player purchases server-wide.
• Daily Automatic Restock – All shop inventories are fully replenished every server day at 00:00.
• Per-Player Daily Limit – Players are restricted to a maximum of 100 total purchased items per day to prevent abuse and maintain economy stability.
• Multiple Supply Categories – Items are organized into separate shop groups such as Daily Supplies and Combat Rations for easier navigation and balance control.
• Market-Based Trader System (NST_MARKET) – Ensures stock integrity, synchronized availability, and consistent item handling across all traders.

System Overview

The system operates through a central assistant NPC that provides access to categorized supply shops. Each shop functions as a global market trader with finite stock, ensuring that item availability reflects real-time server-wide consumption.

At server reset, all shop inventories are automatically restored, allowing players to re-access essential consumables daily.
 

Design Intent

This system is designed to support:

• Early to mid-game progression sustainability
• Controlled distribution of high-value consumables
• Server economy stabilization through capped free resources
• Reduced dependency on farming for basic survival items

The result is a balanced, automated rationing system that rewards daily activity while maintaining fair item distribution across the entire player base. HAVE FUN GUYS! 😘
