Rental Property

Rental Properties are player-controlled spaces within the settlement. They provide housing, storefronts, and agricultural facilities, but access is limited by your skills. All properties require Scrip to maintain. If upkeep is not paid, the rental will lapse and your belongings will be transferred automatically to your Warehouse Storage.

Because property ownership and shared living arrangements can sometimes create disputes both in and out of game, it's strongly advised that you carefully review the Propery Rules section of the Server Rules to avoid confusion later on.

Residential

• Your private space, to use as you see fit.
• Each character may only hold one Residential Property, and once the city has constructed tenement buildings.
  • Residences may carry additional requirements based on narrative or aesthetic design. For example: A tenement in the nicer part of town may require Eloquence to rent, reflecting that the property manager only accepts “respectable sorts.”

Commercial

• Shops, warehouses, and other places of business.
• By design, these are public zones: doors cannot be locked to ensure they operate as businesses.
• Will always require the Mercantilism skill. The higher your skill, the more Commercial Properties you may manage simultaneously.
  • Commercial rentals may also carry additional requirements based on narrative or aesthetic design. For example, a industrial district workshop front may require an trade background to rent from the property manager.

Growbeds

• Indoor agricultural plots for growing food and herbs, available with the construction and upgrading of the city's Hothouse facilities.

• Requires the Botany skill. The higher your skill, the more Growbeds you may maintain at once.

Customizing Properties

Residential and Commercial properties can be customized to suit your needs and style.

You decorate using in-game items gathered through crafting, exploring, looting, or other activities, and then arrange them with the commands below:

• [Flip – Cycles an item through alternate appearances or orientations. Some items have several, but most only have two.

• [Raise – Elevates the targeted item by 1 Z-level.

• [Lower – Lowers the targeted item by 1 Z-level.

• [Move – Moves the targeted item to a location of your choice.

• "I wish to lock this down" – Locks the targeted item in place so it cannot be moved by others.

• "I wish to release this" – Releases a previously locked down item, allowing it to be moved again.

• "I wish to secure this" – Locks down a container and enables permission settings. This protects all items inside, restricting access according to the permissions you set.

Property Sign

Each property comes with a sign, which serves as both a marker and a management hub for your rental. The sign is publicly visible to others and should always be treated as an in-universe naming of your character’s residence or place of business.

The menu's INFORMATION page will allow you review the Rent Details, current rent cost and the date of your next rent cycle payment

The SECURITY page of your property sign determines who can enter, interact with, or manage your space.
