(Archived) Settlement Buildings
This is a large list of structures players can fit into their cities. These structures range widely from Resource production, Military buffs, or Prosperity to make your city more effective.
Note: All building requirements are in the end subject to the staff recognizing, certain requirements may be ignore, or certain builds may be denied even if they 'pass' all the minimum requirements.
Prosperity Structures
Prosperity buildings give prosperity to your city. Prosperity is measured in percentages, and can increase the amount of resources your town could normally produce. For example, at +50% prosperity, 2 coal mines would produce 3 outputs of coal every week.
Unfortunately, the way the plugin currently works, prosperity provides no added benefits until a town has buildings reaching a prosperity 'milestone' that maths out to a whole number. For example, with 2 coal mines and +35% prosperity, your town would not provide 1.35x as much coal, but instead . If you are stacking prosperity in a town for the buffs, do your best to reach the next 'milestone' for the resources you are producing, either by increasing prosperity or by adding more buildings. By adding a 3rd coal mine in the provided example, the town would now produce 4 outputs instead of 3, because 3 x 1.35 = ~4
Some regions have buffs towards different materials if a faction controls the entire region. For example, any faction that controls the entire Iron Hills region, gets a free +50% prosperity buff applied to all iron mines (and nothing else) in towns in the region.
Prosperity only effects raw resource producer buildings. These are buildings that provide materials such as ore, stone, lumber, crops, flowers, fish, and animal products. If a building benefits from added prosperity, the category it is in will say so at the top.
There are negative prosperity buildings which reduce raw resource production. These buildings do not affect Monetary structures, only raw resource buildings. Consider carefully before adding negative prosperity buildings, because they too work on the milestone system: with even -1%, for example, 1 wheat farm and 3 fisheries would provide no wheat and only 2 outputs of fish each week.
