Town Foundation
The founding stone for civilization.
Notes
The Town Foundation is the foundational block for forming a town in Eco, when crafted and placed it acts as the central building required to establish a settlement. It must be placed inside a claimed, enclosed room of at least Tier 2 quality with 45 m³ of free volume to function. Before building the foundation, ensure your group meets the game's minimum citizen requirement and has drafted a constitution, as the foundation is unusable on unowned land and cannot be moved after placement.
