The Request, as follows:
(Disclaimer: I can't code, hence the request. I'm at the mercy of whomever decides to take me up on the offer. If desiring to help, please help me immediately, do not ghost me as with Java version.)
The request is as follows with an attempt at a GUI related pop-out window (similar to JAVA's PNB plugin appearance) allowing the user to send fictional NPCs on their way to return with loot. The GUI can be buttons and text related, as with the PNB style. Theme of the Plug-in is more of a visual thing (nothing physical, only texts & portraits) sending NPCs off for either food, ores, or various other materials while placing it in either a storage container or player inventory (or whatever is possible). The timer's could be preset, or even player specified by given default values, or allowing for custom values to be set. The longer these "NPCS" are out the better the chances of loot. When the timer has expired (completed) the "NPCs" should have their loot prompted with an 'OK', or 'Claim' button to drop their loot in either the player's inventory, or even a chest, or whatever is possible. The cycle would rinse & repeat. (Chests options was noted to be implemented a few updates after the initial API release).
A secondary option should allow a portrait of a fictional NPC be displayed, for user customization. A set size should be demanded allowing players to place their NPC portraits to use in this GUI, if possible. If possible, having a preview of what items was obtained would be helpful before claiming them. If impossible, that's fine. (If confused, view screenshots of Azur Lane & KanColle images below). And again, nothing physical here. Everything is all GUI/HUD related. Smokes and mirrors, basically. No real NPCs, just imaginary ones behind the scenes.
(I'm basically suggesting the Expedition system for 'Kantai Collection', Commissions from Azur Lane, Fallout Shelter's 'Exploring' element, among many other examples. Assassin's Creed: Origins was even brought up by sending assassins out on their tasks, same with Star Wars: The Old Republic.)
-------------
Features:
- 2-3 Categories - Food, ores, Crafting, and "Random"
- Timers: Preset between 15 min, 30 min, 1 hr, 5 hrs, & Custom.
- Completion? Hit an 'OK' or 'Claim' prompt to claim rewards into your inventory and/or Chest (or whatever is possible).
- NPC Portaits to attach into the the window allowing you to "choose" and "customize" what 2D 'NPC' to send out. Place images into a folder for the plugin to pic up on these portraits. Even custom names applied to them, if able.
- Base Plugin should hold 1-3 NPC slots (3 portraits, not actual NPCs). Only Jpegs or .pngs, and possibly customizable names, nothing more.
Bonus:
- Inject an EXP & level system doubling EXP per level, into infinity. Not a priority, though something to inject at a later date. (Not important, until much later).
- Adding slots external slots from 1-3 NPCs, and up to a limit a healthy 9. If there is a way to unlock these external slots via applying real world resources it should be tied to those.
(Side-note: Food should contain any food item, ores for ores (raw preferably), 'crafting' being hemp/cloth/etc, and 'random' being everything else on a basic level. Anything high end should be a higher rarer percentage of obtaining.)

Examples:
These examples are for reference, to anybody who is drawing blanks. I hope these helps in some way.
Kantai Collection:
https://en.kancollewiki.net/Expeditions
(Game requires various combinations to be set, or 1 light cruiser and X amount of destroyers. Rising World should have only 1 fake NPC Portrait sent out for resources.)
Azur Lane:
https://azurlane.koumakan.jp/wiki/Commissions
A visual example, similarly shown in the Kantai Collection wiki images. 1-6 vessels sent off to gather coins, exp, fuel, furniture decorations, etc.)

Disclaimer #2:
I can't code for crap. I need other people's assistance to fill in the void. Every free time I get is either winding down (highly sick or insanely stressed), or playing games I've desired to play for weeks or months previous, and side modifications to other games. This is over my head, I NEED help from the community. Please help me out. I also deleted my Java request thread for this unity thread now that we have a unity section. If certain things can't be completed then try your best. Something is better than nothing. Try filling in some sort of gap over nothing. Let me know about it, update it as we go, or hand it over to someone who is able to. I had to redo this thread with how the forums changed. I'm even depressed I can't do anything on my end to improve Rising World with how "complex" everything is modding wise for Rising World. It stalls my plans out, again at the mercy of needing help from others.
The genuine thought of this plugin came down to desiring external helping hands and being spoiled by other games, especially Japanese type games. Heck, even Fallout Shelter, among others.
If you have any questions feel free to ping me via this thread, DM, Discord, or whatever. You know how to find me. When people care they know how to go above and beyond.
. I'm certain there was a post and it's now deleted, hence why I deleted a reply thread. I probably was placed on a few block lists, but that probably explains how rude people have been. Shame. Deleted a reply to a post that was there, and now gone. Weird.
