claiming/walling resources

anything built near local resources decays within 12 hours??? that messages comes up as a lore giving 500 exp for the first time and never again

Define "near."

And what is to stop people from just building a larger radius wall?

could also make it so you cant build on mountains because of "strong icy winds"

Yeah, natural resources should generally have a large 'no building' radius and super fast decay in its area.

maybe dryads could wander around natural resources and break shit

This can definitely happen, but the way resources (should) are placed makes it super difficult to make a whole wall. if most mountain resources have cliffs near them, chances are slim to wall the whole thing. if resources are on water, they cant be walled, unless its in a pond.

Just make localized resources randomly spawn.
Then there's 3 day timer, after that some resources appear.
When they are collected, the node disapears and appears somewhere else.
This way its not really worth it to wall them.

Yeah, i suggested this awhile back. it removes the "local" part of the resource though, and its luck to find a new spawn.

what if every time the node 'ticks' it spawns the item as a forageable within 2 minimaps of the "local" node? I guess people could still pclaim and palisade the area around a node, but if its far enough apart, then it would be REALLY hard to surround the whole node.
