====== Land Plots ======

Buildable plots of land throughout bigworld. Players can buy them and for a small rent build in them. They will tile together, and form what could be called a "verybigworld" or "plotworld"

==== Ideas ====
=== Already finished ===
   * The 'template map' framework that is required for storing them is complete. Reletive paths for tiling is done, so tiling between them should work
=== To be done ===
   * Allow maps to specify in their header that building is restricted
       * 'Building passes' allow building in these areas (invisible force, or as a card type object?)
   * Write glue code, either as python, server plugin, or built in, for creating the plot entrances, building passes, and such things.
   * Make random map styles
   * Maps for buying the plots
   * Picture/arches for the plot entrances
   * And much more...

==== Issues ====

   * Where should land plots be buildable?
   * When a map maker builds over a land plot entrance, what happens to the land plot?
   * What (if anything) should be done about the potential issue of players trapping eachother in buildable areas.
     * Perhaps when players enter 'plotworld', they get a non-dropable exit item in the inventory back to the bigworld view

==== New building features that would enhance it: ====
   *Buildable savebeds
   *Buildable lock/key pairs
   *[[dev_todo:buildableshops|Buildable shops]]
   *Buildable teleporters
   *Buildable crafting stations (?)
   *New buildable things (i.e. new walls, grass, etc.)
