Patreon
The Neos Patreon allows users to support the development of Neos, while also receiving additional features and perks for their support
Below is a list of tiers and their features, with more information available in the features section.
- Please keep in mind that the Neos credits that are currently listed here and on the Patreon site that you will receive as a monthly return are not exact values. It is safe to assume that you will receive approximately 50% of your monthly pledge as a return.
Tiers
Neos has a variety of tiers on Patreon with a variety of features available. We recommend reading the Patreon website for a full list. An old, on-wiki list can also be found on our Patreon/Tiers page.
Features
Patreon Only Content
Tiers with the Patreon Only Content perk will be given access to the Patreon public folder, which contains unique objects and worlds meant to be used only by Patreons. You will also be given access to additional content on the Neos Patreon
Storage
All tiers have a Storage perk.
By default, all registered Neos accounts are given 1 GB of storage space, however Patreon accounts receive an additional allotment of storage, based on the tier they have selected at the beginning of the month.
Neos account storage is used for all objects, worlds, messages, etc. that are saved to your Inventory
Neos Credits
Tiers with the Neos Credits perk will receive an allotment of Neos Credits per month, based on their current Patreon tier, which can be used in-game.
Neos Credits (Abbreviated NCR), is a cryptocurrency based on an Ethereum ERC20 Utility Token. At present, NCR is only useful in person-to-person transactions, however a marketplace and ways to facilitate transactions through LogiX are planned in future releases.
More detailed information on NCR can be found on the Neos Credits page.
Opting out of NCR
If you wish to opt out of receiving NCR as part of your Patreon reward, then you can do this using the Neos Bot in game.
- Send
/ncrOptOutto the user "Neos" within Neos. This will opt you out.- If you opt out, any Patreon NCR rewards you would've gotten while opted in will be lost and never minted in the first place. It will also not be granted to you if you re-opt in. It never gets created.
- Existing NCR is kept on your account and not affected.
- You can also opt back in at a later date. Send
/ncrOptInto the user "Neos" within Neos.- Following an opt-in, the next NCR minting batch will include your account again giving you the NCR for your active pledge again.
- NCR that would have been included while your account was opted out will not be given to you. It is never created.
Priority Support
Tiers with the Priority Support perk are able to request that their bug reports or feature requests on the Neos GitHub be given prioritization.
The level of prioritization given to any request is based on a mix of factors, including:
- The Patreon tier of the person (or people) making the priority request
- The overall number of Patreons impacted by the issue
- The Severity of the issue
- How difficult it is to implement, or fix
To request a particular issue be prioritized, send a message to the Neos Bot account in-game, with the following command: /priorityIssue <issue number>, where <issue number> is the number displayed next to the title on the Github issue page, as shown in the example on the right. If successful, the Neos Bot account will respond with the title of the issue you selected
- Presently, you are only allowed one priority issue at a time - If you wish to change your vote, simply send the
/priorityIssuecommand again, with a different issue number. - If you wish to check on the number of votes on your issue, or to view other prioritized issues, they are available using the Stats API > Priority Issues - please note that it may take a while for new votes to appear on issues.
