Nation Resource Nodes

[River 555]

 

 

Greetings everyone,

I’d like to take a moment to share a recent conclusion and option the staff has agreed upon that hasn’t yet reached the wider playerbase. In our ongoing effort to give roleplay-oriented builds — such as quarries and lumbermills — more mechanical purpose, incentive, and meaning, we’re now allowing resource nodes found on Resource Island to be placed within your own builds as an alternative to traveling to Resource Island.

This comes with the condition that the builds are appropriately designed to house those resources. For example, a Lumbermill may feature trees that act as wood resource nodes, a sawmill, dirt or podzol ground palette or tree stumps, while a Quarry could include designated areas for mining specific types of stone, cranes, an excavated landscape, etc.

These builds aren’t limited to just lumbermills or quarries — creativity is encouraged. Any structure that thematically represents a resource material found on Resource Island is eligible. For instance, if you have an Apple Orchard and would like apple nodes that yield apples, that’s a fantastic way to merge aesthetics, roleplay, and mechanical functionality into your nation or vassal’s environment.

If you currently have, or plan to create, a build you’d like to host resource nodes, simply submit a ticket to the Implementation Team while on-site. Be sure to indicate clearly which blocks you’d like to become nodes. Story Team Builders and Implementation team will review the location, provide feedback if needed on build quality or scale, the specific node materials acceptable for the build, and proceed to place the nodes accordingly.

Finally, an irp way mixed with a mechanical way of getting the massive amounts of resources we use for our build

Dwarves got caught with their pants by their ankles and now have to share...

the dwarven development team avoids the big question of forced resource scarcity with the ghost of hiebe lingering as their shared hive mind of Urguan.

I think if you expanded this system for tile resources it would work really well. Rewarding player creativity and initiative is good.

 

If you dig a mine in a specific resource tile it will contain nodes for that resource, but you can roll a d100 to change the resource type and add bonus nodes: specific ranges of the d100 correspond to different mundane ores (e.g. <30 fail, 30-45 coal, 46-55 copper, 56-85 iron, 86-100 netherite). Specific numbers correspond to extra nodes with precious jewels or other exotic lore resources. Player creativity, build quality, and roleplay expansions of the mine can be rewarded with extra dice rolls for extra nodes.
