The Electric State/Electric State DarkRP

Unfinished Page

Electric State DarkRP is a roleplaying game by REDD DarkRP. The game is loosely based on "DarkRP", a popular gamemode on the source game, Garry's Mod and the novel "The Electric State", by Simon Stålenhag.

July 26th 2021: The Day Of Chaos.
July 26th was a chaotic day for the game. The Developers of the game Edd_E and Rylock were announcing that the game was being taken down for copyright. Here is what they said:

On the 26th of July, 2021, Rylock announced that Electric State was being shut down by Roblox due to copyright strikes. His message to the entire REDD Discord server was as follows:

"Due to circumstances out of our control ES is being copyright striked; by law ROBLOX is required to take down the entire game, we looked for options to rename and/or remove content that was deemed copied but we were not allowed to come to a better option. Sometime today the game is being deleted I suggest getting in there and playing your last, record a goodbye video anything you want. Its unfortunate that we couldn't give you any sooner notice. This happened very fast within the last 3 hours. The discord is to remain open to facilitate new games, and works by REDD. We have been working on a few new projects for the past several months and we hope to see you when we release a new game." - Edd_E & Rylock

"We will run the new events in this final hour, so join ES, it will begin in every server"

Basically, they were announcing how they had to shut down the game due to a DMCA takedown. This made the whole community sad with a lot of players paying their respects to Electric state by dropping items and saying their fair wells in the official Electric State Discord. They hosted an event to say goodbye where some drop ship would come by and players could board it and talk to npc's. Later. The developers shutdown the game which made people panic. But soon the devs apologized and told everyone it was to add a badge. They added a badge called "Panik". Its icon is the popular Panik!!! meme which is a spin off meme from the stonks meme. The Panik!! meme is often seen with "Kalm". This implied that it was just a troll, At least the being deleted from existence part. Edd_E has said that gamepasses purchased by players WILL save although he is uncertain about [PERM] items and builds. He is also uncertain whether the game will be removed tonight or not. If it is removed, however, he plans on reposting the game with a new map, features and gameplay. Currently, it is unknown who or what copystruck the game. It is widely speculated that a user bought the rights to something related to Electric State and copystruck the game.

Merchants
A lot of different types of jobs exist and merchants is one of the categories. The merchant category's roles are some of the most popular roles. These roles have to go around the map to get resource to craft. Every time they scavenge a resource they use up one scavenge point. If you have zero scavenge points you will be unable to scavenge. Scavenge points regenerate after a while, Enless you are low on hunger. A lot of merchant roles exist which include these:

--Bartender-- Every good server needs a bartender. These bartenders will serve cola to the whole server which refills hunger. If you lose all hunger you lose the ability to run and you need hunger to restore scavenge points.

--Gun Dealer/Black Market Dealer-- These merchant roles sell stuff more deadly then cola, Guns! The gun dealer sells simple guns like pistols and submachine guns while the black market dealer sells more deadly guns like rifles, shotguns, etc. While gun dealer guns are usually pretty cheap black market dealer guns are a little on the expensive side. While the gun dealer is free to use the black market dealer costs 800 Robux to be able to use.

--Inventor-- The inventor, While having the most expensive craft costs in the game and most expensive items, If you play your cards right you can make alotta money. He can sell useful inventions such as: Recallers: These recallers can be used to place a marker at the position you are at and then you can teleport back to it anytime, good for if your a bounty hunter and you just completed a bounty and have to escape. Jetpacks: These jetpacks can be equipped to enable flight. While you cant take them off after you put them on, you don't lose them after dying which can be good if your planning to be in a server for a while. These jetpacks can be upgraded to static jetpacks if you have the recipe to be able to do the upgrade. Spy watches: While you have to find the recipe in crates like the static and laser musket recipes, These useful devices go for a lot of cash when sold. They cost 119000 to make but can be sold for a shocking 30000 a piece which can make HUGE profits. These devices turn you invisible forever and also make you invincible while in the state. It has an energy bar though it only goes down if you are flagged. These devices are good for raiding bases but risky to use since you can lose them on death. Laser muskets: This high technology weapon is the same exact to spy in prices, But in function no. The laser musket is a weapon the one shots anyone hit by it. It also has a little bit of a splash meaning you don't have to directly hit but you have to be very close for it to kick in. As I said, the laser musket has the same exact prices as the spy watch, 119k to craft and goes for around 30k. The recipe is also found in a crate.

Government
The Electric State has a lot of criminals, so it has to be balanced out. And the government roles are the answer. The government roles include: Mayor, Detective, And Soldier. --Soldier-- One of the most simple roles. The role of a soldier is to protect the mayor and destroy money printers. The soldier spawns with a soldier kit which gives you a m1911, soldier uniform, and a baton. If you are new to the game starting out as a soldier is a good start because of how simple the role is and the good paycheck for the easy to play role.

--Detective-- The Detective role is similar to the soldier. But instead it spawns with a detective kit which gives you: Revolver, Baton, Propeller hat (similar to jetpack) and a detective uniform. You have to spend 600 Robux to use it.

--Mayor--

Crates
Want to take a break from selling stuff or doing other work? Well, this game has crates. Most crates are found from special crates that are bought from aureus. Aureus is a currency that is used to buy crates, you can get it from doing the drone minigame that you can do if you have a scavenge station, It can be played every 20 minutes. And if you do the drone minigame successfully you get a old world crate which can be opened to get 25,50,100, and 250 aureus. The scavenge station costs 20k to place after being found in the scavenge crate. The scavenge crate is a crate that can be found on the ground around the map. Once you pick up a scavenge crate they all vanish to you for some time. All crates have a low chance obtainable recipe that makes people spend hours trying to get them. These crates include:
