Resource center: rebuild your alliance center automatically

This page is for alliance leadership only. Only R4 and above, and heirs, can change the resource center settings. This feature runs on the headless bot, which is a premium product.

Your alliance can have one resource center at a time: food, wood, stone, or gold. When it runs out, someone has to build the next one by hand. The resource center auto-rebuild does this for you. Once you turn it on, the bot:

Checks your alliance’s resource center every 5 minutes.
Builds a new one as soon as the old one is gone.
Moves the alliance marker from the old center to the new one, or uses the marker slot you picked.
Posts the result in your council chat, for example Built gold center at 647,604 (marker set).

Use it so your alliance always has a center to gather from, even when no leader is online.

Before you start

Set your council chat with !setcouncil so the bot can post build results. See Leadership commands.
The Alliance Resource Center feature must be turned on for your server.

What you can set

Setting	What it does	Default
On / off	Turns the automatic rebuild on or off.	Off
Type	Which center to build next: food, wood, stone, or gold.	The same type as the last center
Spot	Where to build, as map X and Y (0 to 1200).	The same spot as the last center
Tiles out	How far from the spot the bot may look for a free tile, from 0 to 10.	3
Marker	Which alliance marker to put on the new center: the last center’s marker, a slot from 1 to 12, or off.	The last center’s marker
Marker text	What the marker says. One line, up to 50 characters.	The last center’s marker keeps its own text. A picked slot says `<Type> resource center`, for example `Gold resource center`.

If the game refuses the spot, for example because it’s taken, the bot tries the tiles around it. It starts with the nearest tiles and goes out up to the tiles out distance. After a successful build, the type goes back to “same as the last center”. Set the type again if you want to switch next time. If you or another leader move the center by hand, the bot follows it. The next build goes where the newest center was. By default, the bot reuses the marker that was on the last center. It moves that marker to the new center and keeps its text, unless you set your own marker text. If the last center had more than one marker, the bot moves the one placed most recently. To use a different marker, pick a slot. To stop marking the center, turn the marker off.

Marker slots

In game and in Discord, you pick a marker by its slot number. The slots follow the order of the game’s marker picker:

Slot	Marker	Slot	Marker
1	Red crossed swords	7	Blue moon
2	Orange paw	8	Purple diamond
3	Yellow burst	9	Purple star
4	Yellow star	10	Pink triangle
5	Green clover	11	Green timer (hourglass)
6	Green shield	12	Blue timer (hourglass)

The app shows the marker icons, so you don’t need the numbers there.

Set it up in game

Type !rc in game chat, for example your council chat. The bot answers you by private message. Use these numbers for the type: 1 food, 2 wood, 3 stone, 4 gold.

You type	What it does
`!rc`	Shows the current center, the next build, the marker, and the last result.
`!rc on`	Turns the automatic rebuild on.
`!rc off`	Turns the automatic rebuild off.
`!rc 4`	Builds gold next.
`!rc 4 647 604`	Builds gold next at X:647 Y:604.
`!rc last`	Forgets the saved spot and builds where the last center was.
`!rc marker 3`	Uses alliance marker slot 3, the yellow burst.
`!rc marker 3 Gather here`	Uses slot 3 and sets the marker text to `Gather here`.
`!rc marker last`	Reuses the marker that was on the last center. This is the default.
`!rc marker off`	Stops putting a marker on the center.

For example, to rebuild gold at the same spot and mark it in slot 1:

!rc 4
!rc marker 1 Gold - gather here
!rc on

The bot replies with the saved settings:

Saved.
Resource center: On
Now: gold at X:647 Y:604 1,250,000/4,000,000 left, runs out 2026-10-09 18:40 UTC
Next: gold at X:647 Y:604 (same spot as the last one)
Marker: slot 1 "Gold - gather here"

Set it up in Discord

Type /alliance-admin in your kingdom’s Discord server.
Pick one of these:
- Resource center to see the current center, the next build, and the last result.
- Resource center: set to change the type, spot, tiles out, marker slot, or marker text.
- Resource center: last spot to build where the last center was.
- Resource center: last marker to reuse the marker that was on the last center.
- Resource center: on to turn the rebuild on.
- Resource center: off to turn it off.

In Resource center: set, fill in only what you want to change:

Field	What to fill in
type	`1` food, `2` wood, `3` stone, `4` gold
x and y	The map spot. Fill in both.
distance	Tiles out to try, from 0 to 10
marker	Marker slot from 1 to 12, or `0` for no marker. To go back to the last center’s marker, use Resource center: last marker.
marker-text	What the marker says, up to 50 characters

Set it up in the app

Open the Alliance tab and select Resource center.
Select Turn on or Turn off.
Pick the next type, or leave it empty to keep the same type as the last center.
Enter a spot, or leave X and Y empty to build where the last center was. Select Use the last spot instead to drop a saved spot.
Tap the marker icon to use, or tap No marker. Enter the marker text. To go back to the last center’s marker, select Use the last center’s marker instead.
Select Save. The window shows Saved. and closes.

Check the result

Run !rc, Resource center in Discord, or open the window in the app. Last result shows what happened the last time the bot tried to build.

Last result	What it means
`Built gold center at 647,604 (marker set)`	The center is built and marked.
`Built gold center at 647,604 (marker failed)`	The center is built, but the marker could not be set. Set it by hand.
`Built gold center at 647,604 (no marker found on the last center)`	The center is built, but the bot found no marker on the last center to move. Pick a marker slot, or set the marker by hand.
`Could not build the resource center: ...`	The game refused every tile the bot tried. The reason follows the colon.

After a failed build, the bot waits 30 minutes before it tries again. To try sooner, fix the cause first. For example, pick a different spot or a larger tiles out.

Other replies you might see

!rc is for R4 and above. or the resource center is for R4 and above: you’re not R4 or above, or an heir.
type must be 1 (food), 2 (wood), 3 (stone) or 4 (gold): the type number is wrong.
spot needs both X and Y, each 0-1200: give both numbers, each from 0 to 1200.
marker text must be up to 50 characters: shorten the marker text.
If the bot doesn’t understand the command, it replies with the list of !rc commands.
