Architectural revisions:
- UI approach: custom companion mod (working name 'bnstoolkit') built
on FTB Library's UI framework. Polished GUI screens for Quest Log,
Bounty Board, Tier upgrade, Shop browser, Plot purchase. Quest
progress as a custom HUD render layer (no stacked vanilla bossbars).
All player interaction through GUI + NPC dialogue, no chat commands
to memorise. FTB Library UI chosen for visual consistency with the
rest of the FTB stack already in the pack.
- Tier ladder locked: 8 tiers, Civic theme, starting at Peasant.
Peasant -> Citizen -> Patron -> Notable -> Baron -> Noble -> Lord
-> Sovereign. Replaced Burgess with Baron; reordered ascending.
- Tier perks: full table with chunks claimable, spawn plot slots,
sethome count, daily bounty slots, shop fee, chat colour, join
broadcast tier, /back access. JSON-configured at
config/bnstoolkit/tiers.json, hot-reloadable. Easy to tune any
column without code changes.
- Spawn plots clarified as distinct from wilderness chunk claims:
predefined regions at spawn, purchased individually for spurs,
primary use is shops, slot-limited by tier. Purchase happens
inside the FTB Chunks map UI via custom mod mixin. Plot data
lives in the custom mod, not in FTB Chunks.
- Wilderness chunk claims: tier-allocated, free within allowance,
refused above. NO per-chunk pricing (dropped from v0.2). Powered
by FTB Ranks -> FTB Chunks permission nodes.
- Phasing updated to add Phase 0c (mod scaffolding) and reorder
Phases 1-7 to fit the mod-supplied UI work.
- Implementation notes: KubeJS script layout, custom mod package
layout, state data locations, config file locations all
documented.
