Hello,

The TLDR:

• What are the Item Ids for the Homestead Stake (that you start with/can craft) vs the Claim Stake (granted on skill scroll read if server is configured for it)?

Background:

I'm preparing to set up a private low-population server. We do want to play with the Settlement system (mostly to learn it), but there are concerns voiced by the players given our low population (4-9), specifically:

• Not enough Claims Papers to adequately cover needs, since we are unlikely to be able to form anything above a Town.
• No ability to set up remote/multiple claims for farming/mining/logging outposts, while still maintaining a homestead in the town.

One idea to combat this is to turn claim papers/claim stakes back on with each skill scroll granting 1 claim stake + 4 claim papers. Then mod in the ability to have a Paper Miller craft the extra claim stakes into claim papers (also at a 1:4 ratio), giving the Paper Miller a bit more of a point. This would give us effectively 8 claim papers per skill scroll, with the option to sacrifice 4 of them to set up a remote claim.

I've been trying to get this mod set up, but the eco site isn't yet updated for v10, and I'm not able to find the Ids for the Claim Stake. I don't want to allow the craftable Homestead Stake to be used, only the granted-on-skill-scroll Claim Stake... if indeed they are separate items, I might be confused on that point. (in testing, they do behave differently.)

---

Overall, this would give us:

• 16 plots at start.
• +8 per skill scroll, minus 4 for any remote claims.
• +10 per citizen if we can form a town.

Which should be adequate.

---

Edit: P.S., I really wish it were possible to just configure something like 1 free claim stake per 5 skill scroll reads, and leave it at that.
