Stake Claim
A  Stake Claim, also known as a Personal Claim or "P-Claim", is the preferred Claim Type of pilgrims in the New World. It can be marked as your Homestead and allows Fast Traveling from anywhere on your Claim, including from inside Buildings, as well as preventing Decay from occurring on anywhere on your Claim. Pilgrims entering your Claim without your Permission will leave Trespassing  Scents, taking items will leave  Evidence of Larceny, and attempting to  Destroy you Structures will leave  Evidence of Waste. All acts of Crime committed on a P-Claim will give the  Crime! debuff to the Criminal, and additionally will trigger nearby Aggressive Defense Structures. A Stake Claim cannot be  Salvaged.

Building Structures
Selecting a structure from the build menu or its sub-menus will place a Building Blueprint Sign at the position of the cursor and then clicking a valid building location on the ground will place the sign and open a window prompting the player to deposit the necessary materials and build the structure.
Each material is followed by a series of three numbers.
- The first indicates how many of that resource are needed but have not been deposited.
- The second number indicates how many of that resource have been deposited but have not been built into the structure.
- The third number indicates how many of that resource have been built into the structure.
Players can take their time building structures by depositing and committing resources to the build sign by clicking the "build" button. The character will build as much of the structure as they can with the available resources. They can return with more resources in the future.
Note that if no resources are deposited, the build sign will disappear when the player walks away. If resources are deposited, but the player hasn't built them into the structure, the uncommitted resources will slowly disappear over time. This is to combat players using build signs as cheap and overpowered storage containers they can deposit and retrieve resources from.
