econ.work
In a flow
“When a button is clicked, earn with cooldown.”
/work → earned 42 coins, again in 1 hour
What it does
Pay a random amount, then make them wait before they can earn again. It's a step: it runs when the white wire reaches it, then the flow carries on from its Then pin. It gives 4 values later steps can use. Find it under Economy in the palette.
When to use it
Use it for the server's economy: pay a random amount, then make them wait before they can earn again.
When not to
If nothing should change in Discord, a value node or a check is lighter.
