It doesn't mean that builders have to work together on a project. What it
does
is allow player commissioned items, rooms, etc. I'm using a gridded room
system for my world (can post the specs on that if anyone wants to know),
and
am going to have a rather natural development thing for the world along with
planned building. People can start new towns or expand on new ones by
contracting masons or carpenters or whatnot. What a builder is authorized
to build is determined by their job and such. Certain things might have to
be
approved by the head builder though, as if it were a new area.
