Description
RPG Town Plots

Mod ID: 894364745

Description
RPG Town Plots provide a way for server admins to specify where players are allowed to build by placing town plot structures, or these structures can be given to players to place themselves. There are 5 sizes of plots available.

Not only does this provide for RPG experiences, but it will also help reduce server strain and structure pollution by limiting where structures can be built.

How To Use
To enable the building limit, simply place any of the structures included in this mod. The limit will apply 10 seconds after the structure is placed.

This mod includes 6 structures:
- Tiny Plot
- Small Plot
- Medium Plot
- Large Plot
- Huge Plot
- Town Manager

The plots enable players to build inside their region. A menu option is included to let players show or hide the border of the region. The border is intended to be temporary for building and will not remain visible permanently.

When the borders are enabled, two spheres can be seen. The inner sphere enables unlimited building, and the outer sphere allows limited building. To build in the outer sphere's area, the players must remain inside the inner sphere.

By default, plots enable tribes to build within their region. Admins are able to see an additional menu item that lets them change the building permission to "public" to enable all players to build in the region.

There are a few structures that can still be placed without being inside a plot:
- Campfires
- Sleeping bags
- Tents
- Pipes
- Tree platforms (otherwise placing tree sap taps would be impossible)
- Other town plots

The town manager is an admin-spawn-only structure that lets players enable/disable the building limit server-wide.

Recommended Usage
This mod does include engrams to learn each plot, but we recommend disabling the engrams and manually placing the plots where players will be able to build, or selling the plots to players using Impulse's Capitalism mods.

Uninstallation
Before removing this mod from your server, make sure to spawn a town manager structure and disable the building restriction.

Custom Structure Whitelists
To customize what structures are whitelisted, put the following in your GameUserSettings.ini file:

[RPGTownPlots] ExcludedStructures=Structure_Class_1,Structure_Class_2

Example:

[RPGTownPlots] ExcludedStructures=PrimalItemStructure_ThatchFloor_C,PrimalItemStructure_SleepingBag_Hide_C

Known Issues
- Leaving a plot will remove structures from the hotbar, and the slots they are removed from won't be usable for the same structures until different items are placed in those slots.
- C4 cannot be placed server-wide (I'm working on a fix).
- Changing a plot's build permissions from "public" to "tribe" will not prevent non-tribe members from building until they leave the plot region.

Future Plans
- Upgrading plots
- Config option to pay rent to keep building enabled inside plots
- Buying/selling plots (including all structures in them) between players
- More building permission types (personal/alliance)
- Admin option to remove a plot and all structures inside
- Cuboid plot shapes
- Predefined structure snap points within plots for nice town layouts
- More appearance options for the plot markers

Hello. Thank you @GyozaGuy and if you ever decide to take over your project, I would be the 1st delighted. The most similar could have been the "divide & conquer" mod but it too has been stopped and is only as developed as yours.

I totally understand about not having time/desire to continue developing, but I'll keep this tread subscribed just in case.

Being able to set no-build zones will help me as well, so thank you
!
