[2023] Land claims

The defaults are false, 1, 5 actually.

If you want claims just by the normal game system - they are spawned in the town based on citizen amount and can be handed out by the Mayor / Founder of it to be used in the town influence.

The modification above would make everyone getting unrestricted claims when reading skill scrolls and is only recommended for singleplayer and coop games and settlements off servers.

You should be able to make districts pretty much immediately after you have a town - we reduced the costs for all basic government tables to be viable very early.

Originally posted by Ranix: is the miner then forced to mine straight down under his house? If the mineshafts are horizontal (to find the ore they need to find) the miners are going to be boxed in by neighbor claims that extend to bedrock.

The miner could just mine straight down and not mine any veins. Then he would just suck and have little wealth. Or he could import all his ore from other players. that kind of sucks though.

Or everyone in the town could give the miner rights to mine their property, but that also sucks (now he can steal everything).

Mining is typically not a problem when unclaimed aside of machinery at the main workplace, but can also be protected via districts.
