Clay Soldiers World

Throwable Deployment

• Soldiers, mounts, vehicles, aircraft, machines, village residents, and entity buildings can now be deployed by throwing their dolls or kits.
• Right-click into the air to throw. Existing direct-placement controls remain available.
• Deployment respects terrain requirements. Boats need water, trains need rails, and buildings need suitable foundations and clearance.
• Failed survival throws return recoverable kits, preserving their saved information.
• Creative throws do not consume items or generate duplicate refunds.
• Deployment projectiles do not damage mobs, destroy terrain, or force chunks to load.
• Cable lifts support throwing to the second anchor after selecting the first station normally.
• Added deployment tooltips and Lexicon instructions.

Households and Village Life

• Residents form persistent households and prefer sleeping in their own homes.
• Friendly companions are favored when households form.
• Supported households can have clay children, using smaller versions of the existing soldier model.
• Children grow into adults and cannot work or pilot vehicles while young.
• Family growth considers available housing, food, morale, peace, and population limits.
• Households consume bread from their actual home storage.
• With civilization mode enabled, automatic population refills establish an initial community of six. Further growth comes from households.
• Added market days, town councils, weddings, harvest fairs, founding celebrations, lantern festivals, and spring gatherings.
• Residents welcome arriving caravans and ambassadors.
• Civilians seek shelter when hostile soldiers approach, including during daytime. Guards remain outside.
• Player commands take priority over civilian activities.

Construction and Town Development

• New automatic buildings progress through foundation, framing, and finishing stages with visible scaffolding.
• Builders collect materials, carry supplies, and physically work at construction sites.
• Construction pauses when workers leave, fight, sleep, or unload.
• Growth responds to housing pressure, food shortages, and material needs before adding amenities.
• Towns specialize in farming, fishing, mining, or trading.
• Cultures influence home styles, roof materials, and street layouts.
• Healthy towns add fountain wells, signs, streetlights, supported stream crossings, and flower gardens.
• Prosperity affects building finishes and decorations. Struggling towns develop a weathered appearance.
• Player changes to tracked decorations are preserved.
• Existing buildings remain completed and are not automatically replaced.

Production and Trade

• Farmers harvest mature town wheat and replant it.
• Grain travels to public windmills, flour goes to bakeries, and bread can be delivered to homes.
• Added Clay Mill Flour, with three flour crafting into two bread.
• Existing windmill wheat-to-bread controls remain available.
• Miners can collect depot materials and supply workshops.
• Markets receive physical goods, allowing residents to exchange household supplies for bread.
• Caravans carry actual food, timber, or ore from workshop inventories or depot resources.
• Shipments are deducted when dispatched. Only successful arrivals supply the destination.
• Interrupted shipments drop their remaining cargo instead of paying out remotely.
• Trade payments transfer existing treasury funds rather than creating money.
• Routes favor shortages and complementary town specialties.
• Mounted couriers visibly carry their shipments.

Noticeboards and Public Works

• Added craftable Town Noticeboards with a custom wooden model.
• Settlements can receive a noticeboard near their core when space permits.
• Noticeboards report shortages, supplies, events, deliveries, ambassadors, and construction progress.
• Players can fund markets, warehouses, watchtowers, bakeries, harbors, bridges, palisades, and the new landmarks.
• Projects accept 24 planks and 12 cobblestone, with single-item or stack donations.
• Unfunded projects can be changed before donations begin.
• Noticeboard project selection in owned towns is available to the ruler or players with sufficient reputation.
• Buildings require available builders and gradual construction.
• Infrastructure checks terrain before placement. Palisades preserve player blocks and include open gates.
• Donations and projects persist across saves. Unloaded sites are not duplicated.

Diplomacy, Migration, and Recovery

• Named ambassadors physically travel between settlements.
• Treaties take effect only after an ambassador arrives successfully.
• Failed or interrupted diplomatic journeys cannot complete treaties.
• Unloaded ambassadors retain their assignments, preventing duplicate dispatches.
• Households can relocate to suitable same-team towns along existing loaded roads.
• Families carry belongings and can use horse-drawn carts when departure space allows.
• Migration completes only when every family member arrives.
• Towns enter a two-day recovery period after wars.
• Available surviving adults can take builder duties.
• Natural buildings destroyed during war are recorded for reconstruction.
• Repairs require a builder, 16 depot materials, construction budget, and a clear original site.
• Reconstruction preserves the original lot and facing.
• Connected friendly towns prioritize trade toward food shortages and recovering settlements.
• Household migration can help repopulate recovering towns.
• Refugees must physically arrive and respect population limits. Travel timeouts no longer count as arrival.

Kingdom Management

• Added a scrollable management screen with Overview, Works, Routes, History, and Rule tabs.
• Open it through the Clay World Atlas or an empty-handed interaction with a kingdom’s Town Hall or Crownkeep Castle.
• View population, households, housing, supplies, town coordinates, construction, trade, treaties, history, and memorials.
• Browse discovered kingdoms and refresh their information.
• Claim nearby unowned settlements and rename towns, rulers, or nearby residents.
• Governance changes are checked on the server and restricted to the ruler or server operators.
• Added Balanced, Farming, Trade, Defense, and Expansion priorities.
• Priorities influence resource production and preferred civic buildings.
• Added per-town food reserves, daily automatic construction-start budgets, and permission to initiate wars.
• Settlement advancement now requires completed housing and appropriate infrastructure.
• Added configurable earned progression and a default limit of 32 planned buildings per town.
• Existing settlements retain their tiers and buildings.

New Landmark Buildings

• Crownkeep Castle: Four towers, roofed turrets, banners, and a gated keep.
• Grand Market Arcade: Covered stalls, a striped canopy, goods displays, and hanging lights.
• Harborlight Lighthouse: A striped tower, beacon room, and balcony.
• Founders’ Monument: A miniature standard bearer on a stepped stone plinth.
• Each landmark includes its own entity model, collision, storage, crafting recipe, recipe-book unlock, and deployable kit.
• Developed towns can fund landmarks through public works.
• Lighthouse placement checks five blocks of headroom.

• Expanded the Lexicon with civilization, trade, construction, governance, recovery, and landmark instructions.
• Added configurable civilization rates, construction budgets, growth requirements, and building limits.
