Summary
Vintage Story features a convenient land-claiming feature tied to a user's privileges or role. Server admins and owners can configure this land claim feature to adjust the minimum size players can claim and how many claims they may have overall. This can help dissuade players from making many small area claims or encourage more thoughtful choices when claiming land by reducing the amount of areas players may claim. Overall, tweaking the land claim setting is a great way to influence the feel of a server.
