Claim a plot
Walk to any sign that says free and take it. Your plot starts at nine tiles and expands to sixteen, then twenty five.
The loop
Claim, plant, water, harvest, sell.
A wheat seed costs 2 coins and sells for 12 on Verdant, which is short of wheat. It takes about two minutes and three cans of water. Every planet is short of a different crop, and everything else you do is paid for out of that gap.
Buy seeds
Wheat 2 coins, carrot 5, pumpkin 12, sunflower 25. The slower it grows, the better it pays.
Water three times
A crop only grows while its tile is wet. Refill the can at the well, or let the rain do it for nothing.
Harvest
Three in a hundred crops come up golden. A golden crop sells for ten times the normal price.
Chop and mine
Trees give wood, rocks give stone, ore rocks give ore. Everything you build is made of those three.
Sell at the market
Coins buy better tools, a bigger plot, five farm buildings, and eventually a rocket.
Things that happen to you
The planet does not wait.
- Rain
- A storm rolls over part of the planet and waters every thirsty crop under it.
- Meteor showers
- Shards land in a scatter and anyone can grab them. Most hold ore, a few hold a star.
- Three daily orders
- Finish all three in a day to start a streak. Ten days running pays double.
- Other farmers
- You see them walking, chopping and cheering, and you can chat from anywhere.
Five buildings
Every building you put up is one you can see.
They stand on your plot, in order. Each one costs more than the last, and each one changes how the farm runs.
- Scarecrow
- Doubles the golden crop chance
- Tool shed
- Crops grow 20% faster
- Barn
- One harvest in four gives two crops
- Windmill
- Crops grow another 20% faster
- Greenhouse
- Waters your crops for you
The second planet
Build the rocket, then go somewhere with no sky.
Ember costs 1,500 coins, 150 wood, 120 stone and 30 ore to reach, and fuel every time you fly. It is smaller, redder and has no air, so the stars stay out all day.
- Starfruit
- Sold only here. 60 coins a seed, 190 back, five minutes a stage.
- Ore
- Nearly three times as much of it as on Verdant.
- Plots
- Twenty, and you can hold one on each planet.
Planned, not live
Land deeds
Every plot on all four planets is meant to become a deed: one token, one plot, held on Ink. 4,444 exist because 4,444 plots exist, and no more will be made.
32plots on Verdant
20plots on Ember
1deed per plot
- The art
- Each deed is a render of that exact plot, built from the same models the game draws with, including the real trees and rocks standing around it.
- The traits
- Read off the world layout, not invented: planet, plot number, how many trees, rocks and ore rocks are nearby, and how far it is to town.
- Where it stands
- Not minted and not for sale. The renders and the gallery are being built in the open while the game runs.
What is on the chain
Three things, and none of them cost you a transaction.
Live
Wallet sign-in
Connect a wallet and your farm follows it instead of the browser you started in. It is a signature, not a transaction. Nothing is spent and nothing is approved.
Live
Holder badge and gift
Hold a Shiftbox and the game reads that balance, puts a badge on your name tag and leaves three sunflower seeds at the market each day.
Planned
Land deeds
4,444 plots across four planets, one deed each. Not minted, no date. The plot gallery is where they will appear.
