Town Construction System - Player Facing

Various skills might be required for creation, use, or advanced use of some buildings, such as: Alchemy, Tinkering, Enchanting, Arcane Rituals, Divine Rituals, etc
For Profession: Architect, the town can replace Construction Resources paid to build buildings with Wealth by utilizing the resources more efficiently and with reduced waste.
An Apprentice architect may reduce the cost by one Basic resource (paying 30 Wealth), Journeyman: 2 Basic Resources (60 Wealth), or Master: 1 Advanced Resource (120 Wealth). No more than half the total amount of Construction Resources can be paid for in this manner, regardless of skills used.
One time collection locations for various town construction resources. Characters flag the collection location, and the Staff collect the flags at the end of the event, and tabulate the resources, adding to the town stockpile.
Basic Cache: One Time Collections of Construction Resources: Some amount of Stone, Lumber, or Ore
Generous Cache: One Time Collections of Construction Resources: Small amount of Luxuries and a moderate amount of Stone, Lumber, or Ore
Unless otherwise specified builds have the following properties:
Buildings owned by the “town” are perpetual, as long as the number of each type is less than or equal to the Campaign Year + The Rank of the Building the Shrine of Voxus is housed in.
Buildings owned by non-town groups always have a duration on them - usually 6-12 months - where they will fail due to exhaustion or other problems. This duration is “visible” to the players, and is explicit when it is purchased/built.
<Name of Building>
Requirement: Any other prerequisites needed to construct the building, such as earlier iterations, or other buildings, actors, or plot needs.
Build Cost: The Required amount of resources required to build the building.
Construction Skills: Skills that when used during the Construction Process may produce positive effects. Required skills are Bolded.
BGE Skills: Known skills that may be used during BGEs to produce additional positive effects. Other skills or professions may also affect the building (positively or negatively), at plot discretion.
Description: Description of what the building is and does. The full effects of the building may be hidden, and include other benefits or effects that aren’t immediately apparent.
Process Here.
For Advanced Production Buildings (Ironworks, Sawmill, Stonemasonry), there is a limit to the amount that a given area can produce without negatively affecting the surrounding environment. This limit is three: these slots may be taken up entirely by one production building, or spread across the three.
When the total Advanced Production in a township exceeds three total output, these buildings will negatively affect the surrounding environment. However, with pre-planning and foresight, these negative impacts can be mitigated.
Construction Skills: None
This building takes the most basic of efforts to reduce the negative impacts of advanced buildings. Each of these foundational structures negates one “point” worth of negative environmental effects.
Maximum (Current): 3
Construction Skills: None
This creates the foundation for a small new township inside of the Crowne Point city limits. This creates a new set of Environmental Impact Slots (3). Crowne Point’s borders only allow for three of these (improvements are per Township, so, for example, walls would only extend to the township), one of which is west of Crowne Point, one north of Crowne Point, and one south of Crowne Point. Further areas may become available through plot interactions.
The township itself starts with nothing - this is merely the foundational planning for the new town center, and this new town does not benefit from any other effects that are present on Crowne Point unless otherwise stated (such as Walls).
The Town Council should provide a name for the new township when it is requested - names will be reviewed for appropriateness and in-genreness.
