love the idea even if they made a tool dedicated to it like a wrench instead of the pickaxe.
the idea that you can recover 10-50% of the resources spend (minus woodblocks/branches/plugs as those would break) would be nice.
the action/skill should only be active by the claim owner or members of the town. preventing raider abuse. as for raiders making their own claim on urs to break it all... well thats your own fault for letting the claim/townbell run out of silver then. it shouldnt take more then 24hrs for a hermit with a 1 person town bell (if you want to be wasteful) to aquire enough hides/leather/crickets to feed 100+silver in to a bell. or feed for 2months a pclaim regardless of size. so if you let raiders take it over well your own fault honestly. plus if raiders townbell a hermit.. t hey would be paying the hermit the coin for the claim :/ so you could just rebuild else where

not like getting the stuff is super hard..
