Choose your origin
Your background gives a small, useful advantage without deciding your equipment or factory path. Open Character, preview a card, and confirm the combination you like. The chooser has three pages and twenty original icons.

Understand the perk's scope
- Deepdelver and Woodcutter: natural deposits/logs only; suitable tools apply. A bonus is one extra item, not a copied Fortune stack.
- Homesteader: mature crop breaks by hand. Other mods' right-click harvesting and machine harvesting are outside this hook.
- Stablehand: the speed bonus applies to a living mount you control. Boats use another movement system.
- Forgehand and Librarian: refunds use XP points actually spent, preserving normal requirements. Repair refunds require an actual repair; a rename is not enough.
- Apothecary: drinking potions, rather than splash or lingering effects.
- Stonemason and Millwright: block interaction reach, not attack reach. Hold the appropriate building block or supported wrench.
- Street Urchin: reduces sneaking detection range; it does not clear an existing target.
- Hedge Mage: requires Iron's maximum-mana and regeneration attributes. Unified mana is handled by the existing integration; no duplicate Ars bonus is added.
Fractional rewards carry forward where the implementation supports them. Stable modifier IDs prevent bonuses stacking through repeated refreshes. Maximum-health bonuses do not immediately heal you.
Existing characters
Previously confirmed choices retain their saved origin and perk revision. This includes the former Librarian's different refund values. Choosing the new Librarian on a new character uses the values above.
Changing a choice
Origin administration requires permission level 2 and an online target. It changes the origin, without clearing skills, titles, equipment or character progress.
/tnkprogress origin get PlayerName
/tnkprogress origin set PlayerName tnk:deepdelver
/tnkprogress origin reset PlayerName
After a reset, close and reopen Character. Origin selection is independent of cosmetic and passive titles.
