Heya, It's your local street rat here with a tutorial for new players on the best way to make money on Straya. You should read the entire guide before you act on it. Step 1: Setup Before mining for gems you will want: Roughly 400k (Aka a few normal runs) You will want to buy the following: 1x Pickaxe 1x Backpack 2x food and drink 1x Repair and Fuel kits 2x box truck (Keep at least 200k for the gem processing licenses, or see the Bunnings method) Step 2: Mining Go to either Iron mine (Pros: More profitable, Cons: Less safe) or Copper mine (Pros: Safe, Cons: Normally less profitable). These can be found by using the map search function or looking east of Kavala/Sydney or South of Pyrgos/Brisbane. When arriving at the mine you will want to press command once while looking at the ground, Then press Y and drop all but one of the copper/iron you have picked up, Press command again and drop all of the new Iron/Copper (While leaving 1 Iron/Copper). Repeat. This technique allows you to mine for gems while pressing the least amount of keys. It also makes you less aware of your surroundings though, so do be careful when using it. When you have found a gem (Gold, Sapphire, Ruby or Diamond) stop mining at putting it into your vehicle. If you get gold peices you can either discard them (Recommended if you don't have a house or don't feel like crafting them) or save them and craft the pieces into gold bars when you have 10 pieces. You cannot log/Store vehicles with gold bars in them and keep the gold bars. When your vehicle is full or you decide to leave I recommend driving back to a garage in the nearby towns, pulling out a box truck and transferring your gems into these trucks. This means that they are safe as long as you don't move the trucks from a safe zone. Step 3: Processing At some point, you will want to process your Gemstones. You have two options. I recommend you pull out a truck/vehicle and go to the gem trader northeast of Atheria/Brisbane. Here you can process the gems for a price, With the licenses being roughly 100K. I recommend players low on cash buy the processing license of whatever gem they have the most of. You can then sell your processed gemstones at the gem trader northwest of Syrta. NOTE: There is not an ATM here. I recommend you sync data then log to a city if you do not have a helicopter and you have sold your gems. If you do not want to do this method, You can skip the processing by visiting one of the bunnings stores around the map and purchasing a chisel and hammer for each gem you have. You can then use the chisel and hammer on a single gem to process it without having to go to the gem processor. This is costly so I recommend you only perform this method on diamonds and when you have no other option to make money. Step 4: Results So, What does all this hard work get you? Per person, it will change depending on your luck, Proficiency ( The higher proficiency means a larger amount of gems) and selling price. Here is a screenshot of a summary of two runs I did. As you can see in just over 25 Minutes I found approximately 1.4 Million in gems. The spreadsheet breaks down the individual type of gems that I got, along with Value per hit and other factors. This will be different for you, as a new player will find fewer gems over a similar amount of time, (A new player could expect to take 3x as long) and this did not include time traveling to processor, processing and selling so runs will take longer. This is for demonstration purposes only. I got lucky on my first run.

Unfortunately the trial with starting a KOTH server has not worked out how we would have hoped. Due to this we will be closing the server at the end of this payment period. The server will be turned off around 6pm on the 06/09/2019. Thanks, SG Management

What if rebels could buy breathing (contact DLC backpack) packs? Make them fairly cheap, like 20k (and negates teargas obviously). As it takes up the backpack slot it means that rebels would have to choose between reduced amounts of ammo/Y inventory space or be unable to be tear gassed? That would be fairly self balancing as gangs could get around it with enough preparation.

Get me to 10 rep??? will love you long time
