GUNC Stars Reach Field Guide
Stars Reach: GovBot & building a township
GovBot shows what a township needs now and which services become available as citizens raise its level.
Citizens contribute resources and Klaatu toward the next GovBot level and earn Citizenship Points for helping. Each level unlocks more township services.
Working around a GovBot
GovBot shows the township level, what the next upgrade still needs, and which services are already unlocked.
Citizenship makes the most sense on a world where you spend time, know other players, or want to support community projects.
Open GovBot and see what the next level still needs. Another citizen may have donated while you were away.
Shared deposits advance the town and earn Citizenship Points. Keep rare finds and materials meant for crafting out of the donation stack.
An unlocked kiosk still needs a sensible location, permissions, and players willing to maintain the surrounding area.
Vote when elections are open and learn the rules before mining, building, burning, paving, or farming in governed land.
GovBot unlock path
The township begins without a civic service unlock.
Community missions begin, zoning lots become available, and the township gains its mayor.
Citizens gain local access to basic tools.
The town can provide shared stations for citizen crafting.
A Bank kiosk becomes part of the township service network.
The township gains a central place for player commerce.
Citizens can learn and manage skills locally.
The town can monitor Flora, Fauna, and Mineral health.
Recovery services become available through the township.
Level 10 adds the Title Shop and planet-wide permissions.
Ballpark amounts for group planning
Organizing a contribution drive
The ballpark figures above help with planning, but the next-level screen is the list that matters.
Check which materials people have gathered and which stock the town still needs for crafting or repairs.
Gathering, hauling, sorting, donating, and checking Ecology do not all need to be done by the same players.
If a resource is running low, move the gathering effort or switch to another requested material.
The new requirement may be completely different, so look before everybody heads back out.
Keeping the township easy to use
Tell citizens what is still needed, what is already covered, and where the next service will go.
Kiosks, crafting, recovery, and storage should have visible entrances that work for ordinary visitors and citizens.
Mining, lumbering, chronophasing, paving, building, burning, and farming can be managed separately.
Remove permissions that are no longer needed and fix accidental lockouts.
Let people know about new zones, moved services, contribution goals, and election activity before they run into the change in the field.
When GovBot or town access looks wrong
Check the GovBot level, then ask whether somebody has placed the service and whether the route to it is open.
Read the item, material stage, amount still needed, and citizenship requirement again.
Read the zone and planet-wide permissions, then ask the mayor or project lead which rule applies.
Switch resources, move the gathering effort, or pause before sending more citizens to the same entry.
