The buff could be like a slight increase in work efficiency, something like 1.15x more efficient, non stackable with other altars, of course. The higher the level of a Priest, the wider the range of the altar's effects. I really like the concept of an altar for a Priest, which would tie in well with the leveling that Priests (and all NPC's) already have. I'd be after an option to disable ordinary chests being used as an upkeep point.Īnyway, pardon my off-topic wanderings there. The remaining issue I face is that chests can currently replace town hall blocks in just about every way. (Think along the lines of the Invasion mod, except this block actually has a point and a purpose other than to merely attract enemies). I've made the town hall block a target for griefing. See, what I'm really after is a Town Hall block that's both beneficial and critical.

and at this point I should probably go make a separate issue. A sort of Town Hall 'network'? It certainly allows for expansion. but, thinking about your own 'town hall upgrade' suggestion, I believe that could work even better. I was thinking this would require an altar being in the 'active' state -and within range- when an NPC dies - else they are gone for good. I'm looking for an incentive to NOT do that. On NPC death, the players would simply spawn their priest in and let him do his thing before packing him safely back away in item form. I've had players keep their Priest in a chest for 'when needed'. I say this because, currently, Priests are a little (a lot) OP. Resurrection should take a while - at least a minute in real time (configurable) and the 'beacon' effects would be absent during this time. Either resurrecting or 'working' the beacon. A Priest could only perform one task at a time. Secondary to that - the altar could even give off an area of effect buff. What would you think about an altar for the Priest? This would be a block dedicated to resurrection (much like your suggestion of a church block to pay gold for resurrections) - except NPCs would only resurrect there if it's being 'worked' by a Priest when they die.
