====== Wards in Sunshine Alley ======

//Work in Progress//

Sunshine Alley Wards are different from the Vanilla game.

Wards are for Individual use to protect your bases and property.
Territories are used for communal facilities.

Expired wards continue to protect your Base from being claimed by someone else.

**Note: Unwarded Bases are not safe from being claimed by other players**

Wards give a protected area of 32 metres.  It is a cylinder of infinite height.

**Note:** upon building base should always check if structal integrity is in order, wards can keep structures standing without proper support. 

so make sure, by turning off removing ward and also holding the building hammer for prolonged time so there is no delay in structual 

integrity **!**

**Mob spawn:** Unlike Vanilla wards, these will prevent mob respawn in its full radius.

====== Create a Ward ======

To be drafted.
{{ :buildpieces:ward.jpg?400 |}}

Building a Ward does not consume a Thunderstone, charging it does.\\
When a ward is created it is not charged i.e. it is inactive.\\
It must be charged with a Thunderstone to protect the area

The number of wards your account can create is limited - See details below

====== Charge a Ward ======

Thunderstones are required to charge/recharge a Ward.\\
You buy them at Haldor\\

New players can charge for 14 days - prog base gone after 28 days if its abandoned (when auto demolish works)\\
Players who have already reached main can charge 45 days - 90 days before prog base gets demolished.\\
Done by SteamID, so as long as you have any character on main, when charging, you get main benefit.

Recharge can be done when half the charge is expired, so when less than 7 or 22 days, you can add an additional 14 or 45 days upon existing charge, at a maximum of 67 days.
Destroying a charged ward will return 1 thunderstone.

====== Supercharging Ward Black Core ======

Supercharge can be done with a Black Core

It will charge the ward 7 days for each core, if supercharge timer exceeds expiry timer, expiry timer will increase accordingly to never be less than supercharge.
Supercharging cannot exceed 14 or 45 days.
Destroying ward does not refund Black Cores.

Supercharged ward gives no food decay

====== Abandoned Wards ======

When a ward is not recharded for yy days the Base is deemed abandoned.
Unless the build is deemed significant enough to be preserved it will be auto Stored, in case the player ever returns to the game and wishes to claim the materials.

This means everything will be disassembled, all the materials put in chests and uploaded to server for storage (not left in the world). If/When the player returns the materials will be made available to them.  The base, as it was, will not be restored or rebuilt unless the site is still available, and the player chooses to do so with the returned materials.

====== Number of Wards ======

Every account (Steam ID) gets 1 free ward + 1 more for each boss that has been slain with any character as you work through the Progress Server.\\
Once the Main server is unlocked, the available ward count is set to 25.

===== Used Wards =====

All enabled wards are counted (including expired/abandoned)
Wards are counted across all live servers.\\
Wards still count until a server is delisted (removed from launcher list).


====== Plants ======


Plants are supposed to be protected from anything.
Barley/flax crops, after done growing, are harvestable with atgeir inside ward, as long as you are owner or have permission.

====== Adding other players ======

  * Turn off your ward. 
  * Get the other player to authenticate themselves on it, 
  * reactivate your ward


// Get image of in game menu//


Manually adding/removing players from your **own** wards:
  - Open console (F5)
  - Type in: optsteam <steamid>   (without the brackets)
  - press enter
  - Press F5 again to close console
  - Target ward and click T

SteamID is remembered until you change it, meaning you can add or remove same player from multiple wards without entering steamID again.

Only ward owner can do this
