The Great Settlement Repair Reform is Completed

TL;DR Settlements now automatically repair on a daily basis, using resources evenly and preventing destruction. In case of resource shortages, the system can automatically purchase resources from the Bargaining Shop under the supervision of the Libra Keeper. Owners can choose between manual and automatic modes and view the monthly material requirements in advance. Until the end of June, automatic repairs only apply to settlements with ≤15 days left to repair.

A solemn report from the Chairman of the Guild of Builders, His Lordship, to General Webman

Beloved Lord of the lands and patron of order, General Webman!

With the deepest respect and devotion, I have the honor to announce: The Great Repair Reform of the settlements has been successfully brought to a victorious conclusion.

By the wise decree of Your Serene Highness, all owners of administrative territories are now granted the opportunity to maintain their possessions in exemplary condition (30 out of 30), without waiting for the onset of the fatal threshold. Resources will now be spent with truly alchemical precision - daily, in small shares, freeing the owners from burdensome accumulations and sudden losses.

Freedom of choice is preserved in a magnificent way: both manual and automatic repair modes continue to operate, catering to different systems of government. Automatic repair, like an invisible guardian of order, takes care of the safety of settlements every day, not allowing the slightest damage to their structures and appearance.

A special elegance is acquired by the innovation that allows the owner to see with one glance the entire list of required materials for the next thirty days - for clear planning and unshakable order.

Now, by the highest permission, another favor has been shown: if there is a shortage of resources, automatic repair can personally purchase the missing ones in the Trade Shop - so that no settlement suffers from an accidental oversight. These conditions are defined by the owner manually, in the section: Investor → Repairs → Settlements → Automatic repair settings.

And finally, with the greatest kindness, a transitional phase has been established: until the end of June, automatic repairs will only cover those settlements whose restoration is required in the next 15 days or less. This eliminates any doubts and worries that could arise at the beginning of such a great transformation.

May your name live forever, and your deeds in the grateful memory of your descendants! May the Repair Reform be exalted in the annals of the Guild and the hymns of future times!

With reverence and sincere devotion,
Chairman of the Guild of Builders
in the memorable and glorious year

Power system on guard: stabilizing animal feeding

TL;DR
The Settlement Power System regulates the feeding of animals at night (for the entire account). Dragons are only affected by the Principality Power System.

[Top Secret. Personal report. For General Webman's information only.]

From: High Alchemist Root
To: General Webman
Subject: Animal Behavior and the Influence of the Great Grid

My lord,

During the continuous observations carried out in the depths of our alchemical laboratory, alarming changes in the animals' behavior were recorded. The animals' behavior became less predictable: feeding and reproduction occur at different times, without the usual schedule.

According to our experts, the reason may lie in the instability of the magnetic field - perhaps we are observing the beginning of its displacement or some other major disturbance.

Against this background, a discovery made during laboratory tests is especially valuable. The Great Building Energy System, erected in the settlement of at least one of the clones, has a stabilizing effect on the fauna. The greatest effect is observed at night: the animals become calmer, their feeding occurs in a more orderly manner and without interruptions.

The exception is dragons. Their inner sense and elemental nature make them less susceptible to this influence. Only the Energy System built in the Principality is able to embrace their powerful aura and subordinate them to the regime.

I strongly recommend that you take this information into consideration.
In case of further changes, I will provide an in-depth conclusion.

With deepest respect,
Root,
Supreme Alchemist

The Megalith Mining License is now available in the Bargaining Shop

Dispatch from the Keeper of the Scales to General Webman,
via the supply line. For immediate distribution to those concerned.

General Webman!

I would like to inform you of an important change that has been approved by the Board of Trade and has come into effect as of today.

In the name of simplifying and speeding up mining operations, licenses for megalith mining are now issued directly at the Bargaining Shop. This means that there is no longer any need to arrange lengthy bidding at the charter auction - every worthy citizen with the means and intentions can obtain the necessary permit without unnecessary formalities.

This simplification of the procedure is a step towards progress. Megaliths are a rare and strategically important resource, and the right to manage access to them is now concentrated in one, reliable place. The trading stall under my supervision guarantees order, accurate accounting and eliminates the possibility of unscrupulous resale.

I insist: licenses issued in the Shop are not subject to sale. This is the decision of the Collegium, and it is aimed at protecting the interests of the Empire.

Maintaining balance is my duty. Let the megaliths serve only those who are truly ready to extract them.

Keeper of the Scales,
manager of the Commodity Exchange and the Trading Bench

Home improvements are now just one click away

Dispatch from High Alchemist Root to His Excellency General Webman

My General, at your direction, the specialists of the Alchemical Laboratory have completed the optimization of the formula of the elixir "Hospitable Shelter". In the updated version, the composition has received a stable phase structure and improved conductivity along the construction fibers.

Now, thanks to a single impulse action, the elixir is able to instantly launch a full cycle of upgrading a dwelling to any design level, right up to the architectural standard of a "castle". Instead of a series of fifty procedures - one controlled intervention, saving the commander's valuable analytical focus.

The functionality is already integrated into the Remote Commander. The system correctly calculates the permissible limits based on the current parameters of the property. The algorithms have passed bench tests and are ready for combat use.
