Hey everyone We've got some beefy updates this week.

[h2]🏙️ Guild Towns:[/h2]
- Guild members can now create a portal to a new guild town on any chosen tile in a zone.
- Multiple guild towns can be established by a single guild.
- Each guild town features one portal, exclusively accessible to guild members.
-The portal construction requires resource contributions.
- Guild leaders have the authority to demolish the portal.
- Guild towns function like regular towns with unique marketplaces, land plots, crafting stations, vaults, and other buildings.
-They provide a dedicated, guild-exclusive space for collaborative gameplay and resource management.
- Guild towns consume nutrition daily, with a maximum cap.
- Nutrition maintenance is the responsibility of guild members.
- A zero nutrition level restricts access to the town, except for the guild leader.

[h2]⚡ World Energy:[/h2]
- A new resource, World Energy, is introduced.
- Guild members contribute World Energy to their guild town.
- The cumulative World Energy in a town determines its maximum nutrition cap.
- This energy is also consumed daily, influencing the town's operational capacity.

🏡 Land Plots Auctions:

• Each capital town (Zyzantium, Mithrus, Etruria, Pontus) offers 20 land plots.
  
• Players can bid for these plots through a 7-day auction, recurring every 30 days.
  
• Bids involve silver, which is locked in escrow during the auction.
  
• Owners can accept or reject the highest bid within the auction period or an additional transfer day.
  
• Automatic transfer to the highest bidder occurs if the owner doesn't actively respond by the end of the transfer period.
  
• A mail system notifies players at key auction stages.
  

🛒 Crafting Stations:

• Landowners can build one of five types of crafting stations per plot.
  
• Stations require resources for construction and can be demolished for partial resource recovery.
  
• Station types: Toolmaker, Refinery, Warrior Forge, Hunter Lodge, Mage Tower.
  
• Each station type supports unique recipes, scalable up to 8 tiers.
  

😋 Figs:

• Introduction of "nutrition" currency that the landowner needs to deposit to allow crafting by customers.
  
• Nutrition costs vary by recipe and are supplied by depositing Figs, each containing 100 nutrition.
  
• Owners set silver charges per unit of nutrition.
  
• Insufficient nutrition at a station prevents crafting by customers.
  
• Figs, a key resource, will initially be available as NPC loot drops.
