Township

Township is a skill which tasks the player with running a town inside the land of Melvor. Similar to Farming, it can be trained relatively passively. However, unlike Farming, Township has no Mastery levels, and uses a unique tick system instead of constantly running. Ticks are a passively generated resource at a rate of 1 Tick per 5 minutes. Ticks can be spent at any time to progress your town, affecting all aspects of your town from population to resources, and with no limit on the amount of Ticks you can store, the town does not need constant attention to run.

It is important to note that you receive 144 ticks back when you reset your town. Starting over can be useful and should not be cause for alarm.

Primary Resources

Population

Population is the most important resource in Township - without it, the skill produces nothing and earns no experience. Population cap is gained by building Basic Shelter, spending ticks will cause population to increase until it reaches the cap.

Experience in Township earned per tick is given by the following formula:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Base Experience} = \max \left (\left ( 1 + \frac{\text{Happiness %}}{100} \right ) \times \frac{\text{Current Population}}{100} \times \frac{\text{Tick Length}}{10}, 1 \right ) }[/math]

Where [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Tick Length} = 300 }[/math], being the number of seconds taken to gain a tick.

The chance of gaining additional population when advancing one tick is given by the following formula:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Population Gain Chance} = \min \left (1.4 - \frac{\text{Current Population}}{\text{Population Limit}}, 1 \right ) }[/math]

If the roll for gaining population succeeds, the amount of population gained is given by the following formula:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Population Gain Rate} = \min \left (\left \lceil \frac{\text{Population Limit}}{2000} \times \frac{\text{Tick Length}}{10} \right \rceil, \text{Population Limit} - \text{Current Population} \right ) }[/math]

Workers

The Available Workers stat shows how many unemployed workers compared to the maximum amount of working age citizens are available to the town.

Age

All population has a set Age that increases with ticks spent. The working age in Melvor is from 8 to 70, any citizens outside of this range are not eligible to be Workers, and therefore do not impact Happiness. Population above the age of 55 have a chance to die every tick, reduced by the amount of Health in the town, which is primarily increased by having Potions from Herbalist.

Death

Citizens die when they reach 100 years of age or before without sufficient Health or if you run out of Food.

Corpses have a negative effect on Happiness, and must be removed by building Cemetery.

Storage

Storage cap is gained by building Storehouse. With every tick spent, buildings in Township produce Resources that fill Storage until the cap. No resources can be gained past the cap, and hitting the cap will cause buildings that consume resources to continue doing so.

Happiness

Happiness is a modifier to the amount of experience you earn, it is gained from building many different buildings, and is expressed as a percent out of two times your total population. Happiness is a flat increase to the amount of experience you earn, 1% Happiness increases experience by 1%.

Education

Education is a modifier to the amount of Resources each building in township produces, it is gained from building School and is expressed as a percent out of three times your total population. Education is a flat increase to the amount of production, 1% Education increases production by 1%.

Health

Health is a mechanic that prevents elderly citizens from dying. Each citizen above the Age of 55 has a 100% chance of dying at some time before reaching the age of 100. This percent is reduced by the amount of Health in the town - 1% health decreases this chance of death by 1%. Health is first calculated using the following parameters weighted out of 235:

• Happiness with a weight of 100
• Education with a weight of 100
• Nonzero potion stockpile and positive growth rate contributes 15 weight
• Nonzero clothing stockpile and positive growth rate contributes 15 weight
• Nonzero herb stockpile and positive growth rate contributes 5 weight

This is then modified by any "total health" modifiers and expressed as a percentage capped between 0 and 100%.

Worship

Worship is a stat that provides multiple powerful bonuses based on which Deity you choose. It is gained by building Chapel and has a set cap of 2000. The benefits of each Deity you choose is outlined below:

Completion of Impending Darkness Event is required to unlock worship of Bane.

All bonuses are additive with one another.
