So its rather obvious that theres a bit of a jump between InstaPlants at 75 all the way to Quarter Process Time at 200. Why not add some trophies in between to help keep people motivated and playing on the server?
Here are some ideas...
Two vehicle related trophies.
S.Lvl 150 - A Mechanical Mind: Jeep
You possess the knowledge required to create jeeps. (Permanent)
Trophy Cost:
10,000 Iron
10,000 Steel
10,000 Coal
Creating the Jeep
1,000 Iron
1,000 Steel
1,000 Coal
S.Lvl 150 - A Mechanical Mind: Airboat.
You possess the knowledge required to create airboats. (Permanent)
Trophy Cost:
7,500 Iron
10,000 Steel
5,000 Bottles of Water (Airboat.... Water... I figure it has a subtle relevance)
Creating the Airboat
1,000 Iron
750 Steel
750 Bottles of Water
Reasons:
Disregarding the teleporter, this would just seem like a convenient and much more entertaining mode of transportation. Also, considering the S.Lvl requirement for this trophy, as well as the materials needed, its not an easily obtainable minging machine.
------------------------------------------
Some Spawn-With-_____ trophies -(All Permanent)
S.Lvl 10 - Stone Age
You can now spawn with Stone Tools (Pick Axe and Hatchet)
Trophy Cost:
500 Stone
500 Wood
S.Lvl 25 - Copper Age
You can now spawn with Copper Tools (Pick Axe, Hatchet, Shovel, Frying Pan)
Trophy Cost:
750 Copper
500 Stone
500 Wood
S.Lvl 50 - Iron Age
You can now spawn with Iron Tools (Pickaxe, Hatchet, Advanced Fishing Rod
Trophy Cost:
1,000 Iron
1,000 Copper
750 Stone
1,000 Wood
S.Lvl 100 - Steel Age

1,250 Iron
1,000 Copper
750 Stone
1,250 Wood
S.Lvl 200 - Diamond Age
You can now spawn with Diamond Tools (Pickaxe, Hatchet, Diamond Fishing Rod)
Trophy Cost:
2,000 Diamonds
1,500 Steel
2,000 Iron
1,500 Copper
1,000 Stone
1,500 Wood
And maybe something to just replace the Flying Man trophy and its absurd cost.
S.Lvl 300 - Refined Diamond Age
You can now spawn with Refined Diamond Tools (Pickaxe, Hatchet)
Trophy Cost:
250 Refined Diamonds
1,500 Steel
2,000 Iron
1,500 Copper
1,000 Stone
1,500 Wood
Reasons:
Like I said at the top... Just to keep people playing, motivated and having something to work towards. If you have an achievable goal, you tend to play longer just so you can reach it.
---------------------------------------------
Just a basic trophy
***If theres a way to increase the amount of suit zoom, like doubling it or something, kind of in th manner of using a sniper rifle in CSS how it has different zoom levels****
S.Lvl 25 - Eagle Eyes
Your craftiness with creating tools has given you the knowledge to create binoculars.
Trophy Cost:
250 Glass
250 Iron
250 Plastic
Creating the Binoculars
25 Glass
25 Iron
10 Plastic
Reasons:
Its just another little thing for convenience, like ifyou're really up high and looking for something to spy on.
----------------------------
Closing note on the tool related trophies, the rule still applies that if you die, you lose your tools. the Spawn-With trophies counteract this, but regarding the Eagle Eyes trophy, you have to create another pair of binoculars.
