Calorie Exhaustion Mod: Labour License Addon

Labour License is an economy-driven add-on for the Calorie Exhaustion mod (it requires that mod to run). It turns "work energy" into a tangible, town-produced resource rather than a fixed daily allowance.

Each settlement steadily mints Labour Licenses - a consumable item - into a Mayor-only cache on the town foundation. Production scales with the town's active population: roughly one license per active citizen per day, issued one at a time and spaced evenly (1 citizen → one every 24h, 24 citizens → hourly, 48 → every half hour). The Mayor controls the cache and decides how to hand them out.

Consuming a license grants a player one hour of work energy - calories added to their banked allowance, which lifts today's exhaustion limit and lets them keep working past their daily calorie cap. The value isn't hard-coded: it's HoursGranted × Calorie Exhaustion's CaloriesPerHour, so it auto-tracks the server's calorie rate - change /calperhour and licenses are instantly worth more, with no extra config.

The result is a built-in faucet-and-sink for labor: towns produce licenses based on how active their citizens are, mayors distribute them as a reward or currency, and players spend them to push past the daily limit - making daily work capacity something a settlement can earn, ration, and trade. It also tracks per-player consumption (shown on the player tooltip) and includes a /labourcache admin command for inspecting/seeding a town's cache.
