Corporations

To create a corporation, you need a Corporate Registration item from the shop. Once you have it:

1. Use the Corporate Registration item
2. Choose a name for your corporation
3. Set up initial permissions and roles
4. Start recruiting members!

Corporations are companies, not guilds. Members have roles and, on top of those, customizable ranks — real job titles:

• Owner: full control — all permissions, host roles, rank management
• Managers: trusted staff with sensible default permissions
• Employees: the workforce — permissions come from their rank

Each rank combines a daily payout (a salary, paid from the treasury) with permission flags: research, craft, distribute, revoke licenses, and more. A rank is a contract — design your org chart.

The corporation treasury is a shared resource pool. Members can contribute Bits to help fund corporation activities and infrastructure.

• Members can donate to the treasury
• Officers can withdraw for corporation expenses
• Track all transactions in the treasury log

Corporations can own shared infrastructure:

• Corporation Miners: Generate passive income for the treasury
• Shared Storage: Pool resources for members
• Upgrades: Improve corporation-wide bonuses

Corporations can own multiple hosts, separate from members' personal systems:

• Corporations start with one host and can purchase more
• Corporation hosts have their own components and miners
• Miners on corporation hosts feed directly into the treasury
• Any member can claim corp miners — the bits go to the treasury, and the claim is logged with the member's name (IP redacted)
• Corporation host upgrades cost more than personal upgrades

Corporations are the only crafting hub of the network. Corp hosts can take industrial roles (Fabricator, Warehouse, Lab, Vault), the corp researches what its members can drop, the factory crafts modules from stolen schematics, and staff distributes the output under revocable digital licenses.
