1. 🏴‍☠️ Pirate, Revolutionary & Bandit Recruits – Leadership System
  
  This mod introduces a multi-faction recruit system built around leadership, loyalty, and power. Command pirates through a formal crew hierarchy, or lead Revolutionaries and Bandits through raw strength and influence. Recruit NPCs, manage their behavior, store them safely, and equip or heal them using intuitive interactions and keybinds.
  
  ⚓ Pirates – Crew & Captain System
  
  Pirates follow a structured hierarchy.
  
  Becoming a Pirate Captain
  
  To recruit pirates, you must be the captain of a crew.
  Creating a crew unlocks pirate recruitment and grants a custom Captain Advancement, marking you as a true leader.
  
  🍶 Recruiting Pirates (Sake System)
  
  Pirate recruitment is performed through a loyalty ritual:
  
  • Hold a FULL SAKE CUP
  • Right-click a pirate with lower Doriki than you
  • If successful, the pirate swears loyalty and joins your crew
  
  Pirate recruitment requires:
  - Pirate faction
  - Higher Doriki
  - Crew captain status
  Pirate Commands
  
  Once recruited, use an EMPTY HAND to toggle:
  
  • FOLLOW – follows and assists the captain
  • IDLE – stays in place
  
  ✊ Revolutionaries – Influence-Based Recruitment
  
  Revolutionaries follow a cell-based leadership model.
  
  Recruiting Revolutionaries
  
  • You do NOT need a crew or captain status
  • You must be a Revolutionary
  • Target must also be a Revolutionary NPC
  • Your Doriki must be higher
  
  Once recruited, Revolutionaries:
  - Follow your commands
  - Assist in combat
  - Obey FOLLOW / IDLE
  - Do not join pirate crews
  They operate as a loyal cell, not a formal crew.
  
  🗡️ Bandits – Strength-Only Leadership
  
  Bandits follow the law of strength.
  
  Recruiting Bandits
  
  • You must be a Bandit
  • Target must be another Bandit NPC
  • No crew required
  • No captain advancement
  • Higher Doriki determines authority
  
  Bandits behave like Revolutionaries:
  - No crew system
  - Ownership-based control
  - Full command, combat assist, and storage support
  🥚 Storing Recruits (Recruit Egg System)
  
  All factions can store recruits safely.
  
  How to Store
  
  • Shift + Right-click with an EMPTY HAND
  • Repeat 5 times on the same recruit
  
  The recruit is converted into a Recruit Egg.
  
  Using the Egg
  
  • Right-click a block to respawn the recruit
  • Ownership and faction data are preserved
  
  Useful for:
  - Long-distance travel
  - Preventing accidental deaths
  - Temporary storage during downtime
  🎮 Keybind-Based Recruit Interaction
  
  The mod adds keybinds for advanced control.
  (Check Controls / Keybind Settings.)
  
  🛡️ Equipping Recruits
  
  • Hold armor or weapons
  • Use the Recruit Equip keybind
  • The recruit equips the item instantly
  
  🍖 Feeding & Healing
  
  • Hold food
  • Use the Feed Recruit keybind
  • The recruit consumes the item and heals
  
  Works for Pirates, Revolutionaries, and Bandits.
  
  🏆 Captain Advancement (Pirates Only)
  
  Creating a pirate crew grants a custom Captain Advancement, displayed in its own tab.
  This advancement marks progression into pirate leadership gameplay.
  
  (Revolutionaries and Bandits do not use advancements.)
  
  ⚠️ Known Issues & Limitations
  
  Weapon Type Lock
  
  Recruits may break if weapon categories are mixed.
  
  If they spawn with:
  - Swords → keep swords
  - Fists → stay unarmed
  - Guns → use guns only
  Combat State Bug
  
  Storing a recruit during combat may break their AI.
  
  Avoid storing recruits while actively fighting.
  
  These are known engine limitations and may be addressed in future updates.
