Platinum

theres been more than one interaction

youre always like this though, are you always joking? not something that a staff should be doing

-1 a bit toxic in game im ngl. plus your only forum activity is on this staff app and youre barely active on discord

genuine 10/10

im still super not doing so well so imma make this short +/- honestly just because i havent talked to you much

+1 very fat

+1 especially @Sourdig34

Massive +1 I don't give those out lightly, wear it as a badge of honor. You've been nothing but a gem in the rock pile that is the Aether playerbase. Application is very well put together. I genuinely can't think of any time you were negative towards the community. I constantly see you helping out new players. Never beefing with anyone. Genuinely a really good candidate for staff.

Yikes bud.

WELCOME TO UGANDAH!!!

also tetris

-1 smells weird

+1 would be amazing staff never selling you my peeler btw

lets fucking go dude!

title says all. today was WACK

I should win because Club Mungus is pretty cool.

Changing to a +1, original at the bottom. Talked to him in game, definitely fit for staff, easy +1. The slim application makes sense as it's hard to really branch on some of the questions. +/- We've had good interactions in game, you're a good player to be around. I just feel like this application is really slim.

+1 about fucking time you applied now stop calling my ass fat

make money good yes

Hi guys, Platinum here. Or as most of you have known me in the past, Atari 2600. Some of you may be wondering why I don't go by Atari anymore and why I wanted you to keep it a secret for a small while. So I decided to come out here and explain what happened over the past month. I temporarily left Aether to attempt to make my own DarkRP server. It went relatively okay but I ran out of money to keep it up for another month. I decided to keep the Atari 2600 name there and move the community from that server to another one that I will not name. I wanted to come back to Aether under a different name so I wouldn't be recognized by the players that used to follow me around and harass me. I have blocked these players and for now they haven't been interacting with me. I don't want to have any more interactions with those players. I chose the name Platinum as a tribute to the first DarkRP server I was ever dedicated to, PlatinumRP. I played on that server from 2013 to 2015. As for why I now use a Shiny Zeraora as my identity, I don't know either. It was just a thing I came up with. During my month off, I learned a lot about how to properly interact with a community and I also learned a lot about myself. I hope you guys can give me another shot here as I know I left on sort of negative terms. Please do not bring up the Atari name anymore as that part of me was left on IridiaRP, the server which I worked very hard on but failed no matter what I tried. Maybe Atari 2600 should have stayed on PlatinumRP.

As of the September 11th, 2020 update, the ways to make money have been changed on Aether. I'm going color each of these jobs according to how much effort it takes to do them. Green is barely any effort, yellow is a moderate amount of effort, and red is a lot of effort. -All income methods have been raised and revamped, a list of all money making methods and their average rate per hour listed below: -Printers: $575,000 - $650,000 per hour. -Meth: $1,200,000 - $1,500,000 per hour. -Weed Pots: $900,000 - $1,000,000 per hour. -Fuel Refiner: $900,000 - $1,250,000 per hour. -Drug Labs (Meth): $700,000 - $750,000 per hour. (Drug lord makes twice this) -Bitcoin: $900,000 - $975,000 per hour. -City Worker: $1,000,000 + per hour. (RNG location based). -Weed Grower: $1,200,000 + per hour. (Based on the seeds you create) Printers: Printers are a relatively easy way of making money on Aether, and they can be purchased from other players to make more and more money. They can be found under the "Entities" category in the F4 menu. It's best to buy all the printers except the Economy Printer as that one is a hassle to use and doesn't produce much money at all. NOTE: The Premium Printer is equal to the Aether Printer but can only be bought by Premium members, learn all the benefits of Premium here; After you have bought your printers, you may notice that they don't do anything. This is because you need to buy printer parts for them to work. Printer parts can be obtained by purchasing them from from the Odessa Cubbage NPCs around the map (excluding the one in the fuel refinery area.) Press your "+use" key on him (Default: E) to bring up the Printer Parts Shop menu. If you are a non-premium user, you can only get the High Grade parts. But if you are a Premium user, you should definitely buy the Premium parts. Since I am a Premium user, I bought the Premium parts. After you check out, your parts are given to you in a box. DO NOT PRESS YOUR "+use" KEY ON THE BOX YET! Bring the box back to your printers and then press the "+use" key on it to take out the parts. Place the parts on your printers to put them inside. Do this with all of your printers and place them on a shelf. You could buy a printer rack but it is honestly a waste of money. I placed my printers on a small shelf so it looks like this. Make sure to turn your printers ON by pressing your "+use" key on the "TURN ON" button. Your printers will now start generating money. Check in on them once in a while to collect money from them by pressing your "+use" key anywhere on the printer. But be careful, printers use up fuel that you have to refill by pressing your "+use" key on the "Refill Power" button. After the "Refill Power" it will show a dollar amount that it will cost to refill the power. And that's really all there is to printers. It's really simple and if you buy printers from other players, you can make a lot of money quickly. Meth: Meth is one of the more complicated ways of making money on Aether. It is time consuming and requires a lot of effort. But it is also one of the best paying jobs to do. First thing you want to do is go to your "Entities" category in the F4 menu to get access to the materials you need. - You want to start by buying a Stove, a Normal Pot, a Special Pot, and a Meth Jar. The Normal Pot is used for making Red Phosphorus and the Special Pot is used for making Crystal Meth. Red Phosphorus requires 20 Muriatic Acid and 20 Liquid Sulfur. Crystal Meth requires 20 Red Phosphorus and 20 Crystallized Iodine. Place the Special pot and Normal Pot on the Stove so that it looks like this. Once you put the ingredients into the respective pot, they should automatically start cooking. NOTE: In order to speed up the time that it takes to cook, place the pot on both burners like this; Make sure the pot is covering up BOTH red lines. ^^This is incorrect^^ While your Red Phosphorus cooks, let's make Crystallized Iodine. This is done by putting 10 Muriatic Acid, 10 Liquid Iodine, and 10 Water into the Meth Jar. Put the ingredients in the jar and start shaking it. Shaking can be done with the Physics Gun or the Gravity Gun. Once you are done shaking, it should tell you to move it to the Special Pot. Just bring the jar to the pot and it should automatically go inside. Do this twice to get 20 Crystallized Iodine. Then press your "+use" key on the Normal Pot to take the Red Phosphorus out. It should look like this; Place the Red Phosphorus in the Special Pot so you have 20 Red Phosphorus and 20 Crystallized Iodine. The Crystal Meth should start cooking automatically. While you cook, your fuel will go down. The fuel meter is the yellow meter on the stove. Once it runs out, place a Gas Canister next to the stove with the black rod on the top of it going into the stove. Then press your "+use" key to start dispensing gas into the stove. Once your Crystal Meth is done cooking, Take the Crystal Meth and press your "+use" key on it to pick it up. Take this to one of the Drug Addicted Citizens which can be found around the map, press E on them and sell them your product. That's the basics of the Meth Cook. It is definitely one of the more complicated jobs on Aether. But once you get into a rhythm of making meth, you can make a lot of money really fast. Weed Pots: Weed Pots are used by the Gang Members and Gang Leaders (But not the Gang Meth Cooks.) They are a very easy way to make money and as these jobs, you can also spawn printers which makes it one of the best ways to make money in the game. I did however list it as a medium-effort job because you still have to sell the weed to a Drug Addicted Citizen. Become one of the jobs that can spawn Weed Pots and go to the "Entities" category in the F4 menu. All you need to do is spawn a Weed Pot, Weed Soil, and a Weed Seed. Combine all 3 and the plant will start growing automatically. After the weed plant is done growing, it should look like this. Press your "+use" key on the plant to harvest the plant into bags of weed. Then press your "+use" key on the bags of weed to pick them up +-. Take the bags to a Drug Addicted Citizen to sell them. And that's how you make money with Weed Pots. Fuel Refiner: Fuel Refiner is easily the most confusing and high-maintenance job on Aether. It requires constant work and upkeep to make money. First, go to the Fuel Refinery area, which can be found in the downtown area near the gas station. It is behind the giant garage door which is sometimes closed. Lockpick it to open it. Go to the "Entities" category of your F4 menu where you will see only 3 items. Buy 4 BuildKits. Then press your "+use" key on the BuildKits and buy one of each of the following. Drill Tower Burner Pump Refinery It should look something like this. Bring your Drill Tower box to any Oil spot. Press your "+use" key on the Drill Tower box and place the Drill Tower on the Oil spot. Once your Drill Tower is built, press your "+use" key on it and buy your upgrades. I recommend going all the way to the bottom of the upgrade menu and buying the Xtreme upgrades. c After you are done with your upgrades, you need to place pipes in your Drill Tower. Go to the "Entities" category in the F4 menu and buy 10x Pipes and put them into your Drill Tower. Oil will automatically start drilling. While this is happening, place your Refinery and put the Upgrades on that. You will need to keep placing pipes into your Drill Tower while it is mining for oil. After it is done, it will stop accepting pipes and will stop drilling. Deconstruct the tower. Sometimes, the Drill Tower will leak and automatically deconstruct. This will leave a drill hole with leaking gas which looks like this; Place the Burner on the leaking drill hole and upgrade it. After the oil stops burning, deconstruct the tower and move to the next step. Take the Pump box and place the Pump on the Drill Hole that was left behind by the Drill Tower. Buy a Barrel and place it under the Spout, it will start filling automatically. After a bit of time, it will be filled with oil. The meter on the side will be full and the barrel will have turned black. Press your "+use" key on your filled oil barrel and place it on the left side of the Refiner. Place an empty barrel on the right side. NOTE: If you are a non-premium user, your refined oil barrel will be red. If you are a Premium user, your refined oil barrel will be green. The green barrels are worth more. ^^Non-premium user^^ ^^Premium user^^ You will need to refill your oil barrels before the refined oil barrel is full. Once the refined oil barrel is full, take it off using the "+use" key. Then press your "+use" key on the refined oil barrel and pick it up. You can pick up up to 12 barrels to sell. You sell your barrels by going to the Fuel Buyer located at the entrance. Press E on him and click "Sell All" to sell your refined oil. Repeat this process to get lots of money. Drug Labs (Meth): Drug Lab Meth is just as easy as Weed Pots. Become a Drug Dealer or Drug Lord and go to the "Entities" category in the F4 menu. Spawn as many drug labs as you can and the appropriate coolant. If you are Premium, go with the Infinite coolant as it doesn't run out. Spawn Meth Ingredients and put them in the drug labs. Press your "+use" key to start the labs. After a minute, the meth will automatically come out of the lab. Press your "+use" key on the Cooked Meth to instantly sell it. It is a really easy way to make quick money. Get a good steady rhythm going and you can make a lot of money. Bitcoin: Bitcoin is the easiest way to make money on Aether as it requires very little effort, although it can seem confusing at first. Become a Bitcoin Farmer and go to the "Entities" category in the F4 menu. Spawn two Bitminer Racks and place 8 Bitminer Servers in each. Do not buy the Small or Medium Bitminer as they are not efficient. You should get something that looks like this Spawn a Generator and 2 power leads. Use the Power Leads to plug the Bitminer Racks into the Generator. It should look like this. Press your "+use" key on one of the Bitminer racks where it will bring up the Bitminer Terminal. Type in the following commands; "upgrade 1" "mining start" That will upgrade the production of the Bitminers and start the mining process. The terminal should look like this. Give your Bitminers some time to generate money, but be careful as the generator will lose fuel over time. If it runs out of fuel, production will stop until you refuel it. The generator will have an indicator over it that looks like this; Purchase Fuel in the "Entities" category of the F4 menu and place it in the generator. When you want to collect money from the Bitminers, go into the terminal and type the following command; "bitcoin sell" This will sell the Bitcoin in the Bitminers. It should look like this; That's all you need to do with Bitminers. You can also buy these off of players to get more money. City Worker: City worker is a relatively easy job as all you need to do is go around the map and fix things. You will see a wrench icon pop up on your screen along with a distance in meters. Go to the location of the icon where you will have a job to do. Use the respective tool to fix the job. That's all you need to do. This job will keep you constantly busy. Combine this with Speed Drugs to get a lot of money fast. Weed Grower: Weed Grower is the most in-depth job that Aether has. There is a lot that can go into how much money you make. I recommend asking other, more experienced players for help with this job. I will do my best to explain it. First, go to the "Entities" category in the F4 menu. It should look like this; Buy the following items: 5x Hydro Flowerpot Watertank Generator 2x LED Lamp Packing Table Autopacker Dry Station Find a clear workspace and place the Hydro Flowerpots, Watertank, and Generator together in a fashion like this; Hook up the Watertank to the Hydro Flowerpots using the Cable SWEP which can be found in the second slot. It should go in an order like this; Watertank>Pot1>Pot2>Pot3>Pot4>Pot5 When Hydro Flowerpots are hooked up to a Watertank, the water level will be automatically handled. Place the 2 LED lamps above the Hydro Flowerpots. Buy your Weed Seeds of choice. There is a vast selection but Dark Devil has the highest THC count at the start. Place the seeds in the Hydro Flowerpots and turn the Generator and LED Lamps on. The seeds will start growing. As the plants grow, you will occasionally have to heal them. Just do this by walking up to them and pressing your "+use" key on them. Once the plants are done growing, they will go into a Post-Grow state where you can either harvest them, or let them grow more. Harvest your plants once you're happy with them and place the harvested plant on the Drying Rack. You can combine seeds for a higher THC count using the Seed Lab. The higher the THC count, the higher the price. Go over to your Packing Table and place the Autopacker on it. Jars of Weed are obtained once you take the Harvested Weed off of the Drying Rack once it is done drying. Place four Jars of Weed on the Packing Table and it will start automatically packing. Once it finishes packing, you will have a big bag of weed. Bring this to one of the Weed Buyer NPCs that can be found around the map. All Weed Buyers have a unique Profit percentage which can be seen above their head. The higher profit percentage, the better. Sell the weed to him to get your money. And those are the main ways to make money on Aether! I hope you learned a lot from this guide so you can make loads of money on the server. Thank you for reading!
