Economy

Economy

Money in C&N Claims: who has an account, what everything costs, the daily charge, and debt.

Money comes from C&N Economy

The mod uses C&N Economy for money. Without it the mod still runs, but every cost is free, nothing is charged daily, and the land market is off.

C&N Economy has two modes, and the mod follows whichever is selected:

Mode	How money is held	Putting money in a treasury
Virtual	Numbers on accounts	/city deposit with coins in your hand
Real	Coins in bank chests	Put coins into the city's bank chest

In real-money mode the mayor makes a city bank by placing a chest with a sign that carries the city's name. Placing a new one moves the bank.

Treasuries

Every city and every alliance has its own account.

Command	What it does
/city balance / /alliance balance	Show the money
/city deposit / /alliance deposit	Put the coins in your hand in (virtual mode)
/city withdraw <amount> / /alliance withdraw <amount>	Take money out (CITY_WITHDRAW_MONEY / ALLIANCE_WITHDRAW_MONEY)

A city in debt pays it off first. Coins deposited into a city with debt go to the debt; only the rest stays in the treasury. The chat line says how much went where.

What players pay

Charge	Who pays whom	Set with
City fee	Every citizen pays the city, at most 50	/city set fee <amount>
Plot tax	A plot's owner pays the city	/plot set fee <amount>
Plot group fee	Every member pays the city, at most 50	/city pg set fee <group> <amount>
Sub-plot tax	A sub-plot's owner pays the city, at most 50	/subplot tax <amount>
Alliance fee	Every member city pays the alliance, at most 50	/alliance set fee <amount>

The mayor pays no group fee and no sub-plot tax.

Raises wait for consent. A higher group fee or sub-plot tax is announced and applies only after 24 hours, and only to those who accepted it. A member who does not accept leaves the group; an owner who does not accept gets a refund and loses the sub-plot. See Plot Groups and Sub‐Plots.

Who cannot pay loses what they hold: a citizen loses their plots, a sub-plot owner their sub-plot. With DELETE_CITIZEN_FROM_CITY_IF_DOESN_PAY_FEE on (off by default), a citizen is removed from the city instead. See Cities.

The daily cycle

Setting	Default	Meaning
MOD_DAY_DURATION_IN_SECONDS	86400	Length of a mod day, in real seconds
HOUR_NEW_DAY_START	43200	When the day starts, in seconds from midnight (12:00)
DAY_MAX_MISSED_CYCLES_TO_PROCESS	1	Days missed while the server was off that are charged on start

/citizen nextdaytimer shows the time to the next charge. Because missed days are charged on start, a restart right after a missed day runs the charge at once.

Debt

A city that cannot pay its daily costs pays what it has, and the rest becomes debt. Tomorrow's charge includes the debt.

Setting	Default	Meaning
CITY_MAX_DEBT	1000	Debt at which the city fails
DELETE_CITY_IF_DOESN_PAY_FEE	false	Delete a city whose debt passes the maximum
CITY_BANKRUPTCY_MODE	off	plots or whole_city: sell its land at auction first — see Land Market

Debt is paid off by the daily charge, or at once by /city deposit.

Refunds

Setting	Default	Meaning
PLOT_UNCLAIM_REFUND_PERCENT	0	Share of the price returned when a plot is given back (0–100)
PLOT_UNCLAIM_REFUND_MIN_AGE_SECONDS	300	How long it must have been held first

A captured plot refunds nothing. A dissolved sub-plot refunds its owner what they paid, as far as the treasury allows.
