GuildWars Update v1.3.1: Guild Outposts
Feature Highlight: Guild Outposts
Guild Outposts are specialized structures that Officers and Leaders can construct in claimed chunks to unlock passive benefits and display your guild's influence. Each outpost type has a unique function, visual design, and Guild XP cost. Currently, guilds can maintain one of each outpost type.

Available Outpost Types

1. XP Siphon
   
   • Visual: A glowing Beacon atop a Lapis Lazuli platform.
   • Function: Generates 100 Guild XP every 6 hours.
   • Cost: 1000 Guild XP.
   • Hologram Info: Displays Guild Name, "XP Siphon", XP generation rate, interval, and time until next XP tick.
2. Barracks
   
   • Visual: A robust Cobblestone platform with a central Stone Brick Slab (symbolizing a training ground).
   • Function: Produces 25 Guild XP every 8 hours.
   • Cost: 750 Guild XP.
   • Hologram Info: Displays Guild Name, "Barracks", XP generation rate, interval, and time until next XP tick.
3. Resource Silo
   
   • Visual: An Oak Plank platform with a central Chest.
   • Function: Lays the groundwork for economic growth by attempting to generate basic resources (e.g., Stone, Coal, Iron Ore, as defined in config.yml) into your Guild Bank.
   • Generation Chance: 20% every 12 hours (configurable).
   • Cost: 1200 Guild XP.
   • Hologram Info: Displays Guild Name, "Resource Silo", operational status, generation chance/interval, and time until next generation attempt.

Outpost Management Commands

• guild outpost create <OutpostType>
  Example: guild outpost create XP_SIPHON
  
  • Must be executed by an Officer or Leader in a claimed chunk.
  • Deducts the XP cost from the guild.
  • Spawns the outpost structure and an informational hologram.
• guild outpost status
  Lists all active outposts, their locations (world, x, y, z of the central block), and their effects.
  
  
• guild outpost destroy <OutpostType>
  Example: guild outpost destroy BARRACKS
  
  • Removes the outpost, its structure, and its hologram (no XP refund currently).

Server Admin Configuration
Server administrators can customize outpost settings in config.yml, including:

• Creation costs.
• XP generation amounts and intervals.
• Resource Silo's item generation table and chance.

Notes

• Hologram timers reflect the time remaining as of the last update (outpost creation or generation cycle). Real-time countdowns are planned for a future update.
• Outpost structures are simple for now, with plans for more complex and customizable designs in future releases.
• Report any bugs or issues to our support team via the ClashRealms Discord or in-game /report command.

What's Next?
Guild Outposts are just the beginning! We're planning to expand outpost customization, introduce new outpost types, and add live hologram countdowns in upcoming updates. Your feedback will shape the future of GuildWars!

Thank you for playing, and happy guilding!
