The Civic System is one of Icebound's ways of making the world persistent and reactive, shaped by anyone willing to act, whether to enrich themselves, uplift the collective, or disenfranchise their rivals.

After a time, a newcomer can register with the city as a Citizen, and organize themselves, or join others, in voting for laws and civic measures that shape the world both temporarily and permanently on the Civic Ballot, and in turn the city responds by growing easier or harder to live in based on how its people choose to shape their society.

The City Stockpiles consist of global resources gained by building and maintaining city Districts, or select Outposts beyond the city walls, and through trade with [[Surviving Communities]] as opportunities arise.

Individually, players can collect them by way of Gathering [[Job System|Jobs]]. These resources can be spent on temporary measures (World Buffs) or invested into [[Construction Sites]] to build and upgrade the city itself, so that the choices made on the Ballot and the labor spent in the field together decide whether the city grows

New page

Armor attachments are limited-use items that can be applied to armor to provide additional protection and other bonuses. Different crafters make different attachments, based on what makes sense for their trade. Some attachments work in both PvE and PvP, while others are PvE only.

=How to Use=
To put an attachment on your armor, place both the attachment and the armor in your backpack. Double-click the attachment, then select the armor you want to use it on. Each attachment lists the types of armor it can be applied to.

Some attachments can be removed early and applied again later. To remove one, place the armor in your backpack, left-click it, and choose "Remove Attachments" from the menu. Select the attachment you want to remove. It returns to your backpack with its remaining durability; removing and reapplying it does not restore durability.

Other attachments, such as coatings and sealants, cannot be removed. They remain on the armor until they are used up. Both kinds wear out and disappear when their durability reaches 0%.

=How They Work=
New attachments start with 100% durability. When a piece of armor is selected to absorb a hit, each eligible attachment on that piece loses 1% durability. Attachments on your other armor pieces do not lose durability from that armor hit. When an attachment reaches 0%, it wears off completely, allowing you to apply a replacement.

You can put multiple attachments on your armor, but attachments beyond its free attachment allowance each add a separate 15% chance that the armor takes one extra point of durability damage when it absorbs a hit. Adding more attachments than your armor can comfortably support makes it wear out faster.

=Relationship to Armor Quality=
Armor made with [[Quality Crafting]] has a larger free attachment allowance. Attachments within this allowance still wear out, but do not add extra attachment-related damage to the armor. This does not prevent the armor's normal durability loss.

=PvE and PvP=
Attachments listed as PvE and PvP remain effective in either type of combat.

Attachments marked "PVE Only" have their bonuses disabled while you have the PvP combat flag. Their bonuses return when the flag is removed. This means the bonuses remain disabled even against NPCs while you are flagged for PvP.

Hits from players or player-controlled creatures do not consume PvE-only attachment durability, and those attachments do not count toward extra attachment-related armor damage for those hits. Eligible NPC hits still consume their durability.

			There's no hard limit on how many jobs you can do in a day overall, everything runs on cooldowns rather than a daily cap. Construction is the exception: cooldowns there are tracked per skill job. So if you do a Woodworking Job at Site A, you wont be able to do the Woodworking Job at Site B until it the Site A job timer resets.

			Be strategic about this. Construction Jobs are paced to complete over longer stretches, working on any site in reach won't get any one project done faster, it'll just spread the same total progress thinner and slow everything down.

	Shift Work is the deeper end of the jobs system, meant for characters actively practicing a trade. It costs [[Fatigue System\| Fatigue]] and runs on a shorter cooldown, able to do many in a play session depending on how you manage your [[Fatigue System\| Fatigue]].

	'''Skill gains are slower here than Daily Job Skill gains''', since a shift is really just a stand-in for crafting or using your skill the normal way, weighed against your current skill. For example, if you had a 50% chance to successfully make a platemail cuirass, doing the metalworking job ten times gives you that same 50% chance, ten separate times, same as if you had crafted ten cuirasses.

	Since it's a chance, you can run a full shift and walk away with no skill gains to show for it. Shift Work just lets you grind without having to spend resources, and without the risk of dying and without wearing down your gear. The guarantee reward comes as resources relevant to the skill, useful for crafting, or as <font color="#DAA520">[[Scrip]]</font>.

	Stealing is attempted on every eligible interaction until success or discovery. The attempt will run as a normal skill check against your [[Skullduggery\|Skulduggery]], somewhere in the 0% to 50% range, but either [[Prestidigitation]] or [[Skullduggery\|Skulduggery]] at 50% Skill or higher automatically succeeds. If both are at 50% or higher, a success nets you two resources instead of one.		Stealing is attempted on every eligible interaction until success or discovery.

	<br>Painting governs the creation and application of anything involving paint.

			==Painting Jobs==

			Painting [[Job System\|jobs]] are available in the city in the makeshift Painters Studio located just beyond the Scrapyard. At the start, the studio has a Daily Job for gauranteed skillgain to work in the studio to supplement your progression, and then once you've gained at least 25% skill, they will offer a Work Shift to Painters to touch up painted walls around town for a [[Scrip]].
