Land Survey & Claims V1.0.4.0
Land Survey & Claims V1.0.4.0
Create new farm yards in normally unbuyable areas by surveying a custom parcel on foot.
Features:
– Place physical survey stakes from Build Mode > Production > Cultivation
– Remove any misplaced active stake with Construction Mode’s normal Demolish tool
– Closing Build Mode automatically closes and lists a valid parcel
– Completed parcel stakes and temporary boundary lines disappear, leaving an illuminated registry sign
– Physical FOR SALE sign with parcel number, area, asking price and market status
– Live boundary, area and estimated asking-price preview
– Polygon validation: minimum spacing, self-intersection, native farmland and parcel overlap checks
– NPC seller and deterministic market RNG: seller mood, local demand, parcel size, terrain buildability and rare Lucky Find listings
– Wide high-value RNG tiers can create High Demand, Strategic Site and rare Developer Bidding War valuations
– Stronger premium custom-land valuation and a fixed registration fee keep special construction parcels meaningful before loyalty discounts
– Every listed parcel requires a stable RNG total of 1-5 completed jobs for its NPC seller before purchase
– Job-gate progress appears on the physical sign, map marker and interaction; completed NPC jobs persist as spendable credits
– Buying a parcel consumes the seller’s complete NPC job-credit balance in sync with Better Contracts, forcing fresh missions before another purchase from that NPC
– Better Contracts loyalty discounts use the parcel seller NPC, show on the sign and are consumed after purchase
– Buy a completed parcel beside its FOR SALE sign with the normal R interaction and a detailed confirmation dialog
– Sell an owned parcel back to the market from the same sign; resale value is always below its saved purchase basis
– After purchase the smaller sign remains as a PRIVATE PROPERTY registry marker
– Native main-map markers identify listed and owned custom parcels at their polygon centre
– Selecting a parcel marker shows its area, value, seller and Better Contracts discount; owned land is labelled MY PARCEL
– Map markers are rebuilt cleanly after loading and update immediately after purchase or resale
– Parcel markers use validated native icons and are skipped safely if the game cannot initialize one, so map controls remain available
– Custom red FOR SALE and green MY PARCEL icons distinguish surveyed land from every native map hotspot
– Selecting a parcel marker provides the native VISIT action and places the player safely in front of its registry sign
– Purchased parcels grant land access, construction and landscaping ownership checks
– Buying land never transfers an existing factory, production, shop or other placeable; those remain separate purchases
– Independent savegame persistence; no map files are modified
– Completely independent from Farmland Market
Controls:
– No survey hotkeys are required: place the corner stakes and leave Build Mode
– Before leaving Build Mode, use Demolish on any misplaced survey stake
– R beside a FOR SALE sign: buy the surveyed parcel
Important limitations:
– Use only in normally unbuyable areas; existing native farmland is deliberately protected
– The physical sign uses a shared base-game model with surface-fitted one-sided lettering: red while listed and green after purchase
– A short transaction chime confirms a successful parcel purchase
– Automatic map scanning is not included; manual surveying deliberately allows roads, rivers and other custom projects
– Single-player proof of concept; multiplayer synchronization is not implemented yet better contracts mod recomended for discount system
