Freehold buildings

After you build your house, you can build other buildings on your Freehold. Each building needs the blueprint to start the process. If you have a cosmetic skin you want to use on a building, this is used after placing the blueprint. Once this has been placed, the building will be shown in a non-functional, construction state. Players will need to provide the required materials needed to complete the building construction, for each building on their Freehold. No Freehold has room for every possible option, so players will need to choose how to develop their Freehold by choosing to build specific artisan buildings, business buildings, and creating room for livestock and crops.^[3]

Freehold buildings that can be placed on a freehold plot serve three main purposes.^[3]^[2]^[4]^[5]^[6]

Freehold buildings require blueprints and materials to construct.^[3]^[8]

Sheds are present on empty freehold plots to provide storage for materials needed to construct freehold buildings.^[9]
Some freehold buildings have multiple tiers, with different footprint sizes.^[2]^[10]
Upgrading a tier will not change the size of the building in terms of footprint, but may increase in height.^[10]
Basements in freehold buildings are to be decided.^[11]

Freehold taxes are calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.^[3]^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]

Buildings that require permits will have additional upkeep costs.^[3]

Freehold building architecture is based on the blueprint for the building.^[2]^[16]

Freehold skins are applied to blueprints matching the type of building: housing, artisanship, and business.^[3]^[2]^[17]^[18]^[16]^[19]
- The vast majority of cosmetic freehold skins are used for the homestead.^[4]
The freehold building blueprints must be obtained in-game first before the cosmetic can be applied.^[16]^[19]^[18]
Players are not locked to the racial appearance of a freehold building blueprint.^[20]

The way we look at it is the freehold is your space so we want you to be able to make it look the way you want it to.^[16] – Jeffrey Bard

Freehold building placement

Alpha-2 freehold concept.^[21]^[2]

On the left we have some farmable animals- some livestock here in pens; and then we have in the middle there's a bunch of crop rows of farmable crops the players can have; and then there's a couple different examples of different freehold buildings you could have on your freehold: one of which is the house on the right and then some other freehold buildings as well, like it looks like there's a mill in the back there as well.^[21] – Kory Rice

Freehold buildings and other items/props can be placed on freehold plots (by the land owner).^[4]^[22]^[23]^[5]^[6]

The homestead is the first building that must be constructed on a freehold.^[2]^[4]^[4]

Freehold building permits to allow for a specific number and type of buildings to be placed on the freehold plot must be acquired from the node where the freehold deed was obtained.^[3]^[12]^[13]^[14]^[24]^[15]
- Freehold taxes are calculated based on the number of permits issued for buildings on a freehold.^[3]^[13]^[14]^[15]

Currently freeholds have a combined maximum total of six artisan and business buildings that can be placed in addition to a homestead.^[3]^[25]
- The number and type of buildings that can be placed on the freehold and the way these buildings get placed are subject to change based on testing and iteration during Alpha-2.^[25]^[4]

On a Freehold you can have your house, and up to six additional buildings. The additional buildings can be artisan and/or business buildings. Larger buildings may take up more room, reducing the total number of buildings that can be built on a single Freehold.^[3]

Space that is not used for freehold buildings can be utilized for other purposes, such as livestock and crop placements.^[24]

Players can manipulate the orientation of freehold buildings and items being placed on their freehold plot.^[26]

There may be a grid-based system that freehold owners can use to place items/props and buildings on their freehold plot.^[22]

Targeting dummies are planned as placeable props with functional mechanics.^[27]

Players are not able to adjust the terrain of their freeholds. Sloped terrain will result in stilts beneath placeable structures (to keep them level).^[28]

Развитие надела

Здания без права собственности можно повышать в зависимости от продолжительности и продуктивности владения.^[29]

Прогресс права собственности открывает новые бонусы, способности и возможности.^[29]

Мы хотим предоставить развитие во многих системах и частью развития надела является то что после постройки основных зданий чем дольше вы и этот надел существуете и чем вы продуктивнее, тем больше у этих строений будет возможностей повысить свой уровень: предоставляя новые бонусы, новые способности, новые возможности; и просто выживание в этом мире уже подвиг, так что оно вознаграждается развитием таких вещей.^[29] – Steven Sharif

Taverns

Этот перевод может быть устаревшим

Таверны предоставляют несколько типов сервисов.^[32]

Квесты, которые могут быть получены только в тавернах, которыми владеют игроки.
Еда и напитки, которые предоставляют баффы на время, после того, как игрок покинет таверну.
Рецепты, которые могут быть проданы игрокам с профессией повара. Получить такие рецепты можно будет только в определённом месте в лавках, которыми владеют игроки.

Чем дольше таверна в деле и чем больше игроков было обслужено, тем быстрее будет подниматься её уровень.^[32]

After you build your house, you can build other buildings on your Freehold. Each building needs the blueprint to start the process. If you have a cosmetic skin you want to use on a building, this is used after placing the blueprint. Once this has been placed, the building will be shown in a non-functional, construction state. Players will need to provide the required materials needed to complete the building construction, for each building on their Freehold.^[3]

Freehold building skins were offered as Kickstarter and Summer crowdfunding rewards and were available in pre-order packs.^[17]^[34]^[35]^[36]^[37]

Freehold building skins can also be achieved in-game.^[38]

Freehold building cosmetics cannot be sold or traded with other players.^[39]^[17]

Freehold skins can be applied to blueprints matching the type of freehold building: housing, artisanship, and business.^[3]^[38]^[2]^[17]^[18]^[16]^[19]
- These blueprints must be obtained in-game first before any cosmetics can be applied.^[40]^[16]^[19]^[18]
- Freehold skins sold prior to the release of applicable in-game building-types will be able to be exchanged for embers via the account backend.^[3]^[41]

Cosmetics that we have sold as part of different packs throughout the past- our pre-order system: Those cosmetics are split into three primary categories: housing, artisanship, and business; and we will have a breakdown that we're going to be releasing of the cosmetics that have come previously and which categories they exist in, but players will have the option to override the appearance of a blueprint that exists within one of those categories with an associated cosmetic skin; and that is obviously not just something that can be purchased through the pre-order system, but also can be achieved in-game as well- our cosmetics that can be applied to specific building types. And we don't get as granular where, let's say, you might have a shrine cosmetic, and you have, let's say, a blacksmith building that you wouldn't be able to apply the shrine to the blacksmith building. If the shrine exists in the artisanship lane you can apply it to any artisanship type building, but not to a house or business. so giving a little bit of additional context there.^[38] – Steven Sharif

The vast majority of cosmetic freehold skins apply to homestead buildings.^[4]

Family members are able to apply their cosmetics to freehold buildings, if permitted.^[40]

A planned feature may allow multiple buildings to be replaced by a single large cosmetic skin.^[42]

Cosmetics that are are very large in size- we will have a system that's not been developed yet, but we've been planning for this: we'll have a system where multiple buildings can be occupied space-wise by the larger cosmetic. So, a cosmetic might replace the visual appearance of one particular building, but then you'll be able to have that footprint occupy multiple buildings to replace the visual appearance. So that way you're still utilizing the similar amount of space.^[38] – Steven Sharif
