Gen 3 Land Crafting

## Info

Being able to craft Land is a useful skill to expand your holdings on Mars. The steps involved are designed more for mid to advanced players, and many players may prefer to grow by buying land deeds, packs or plots from other players through the in-game and on-chain marketplaces, or from the in-game shop.

The Crafting Gen 3 Land mission chain will guide you through the process of crafting land and progressively unlock the ability to craft Land Deeds of specific rarity. This page gives further and more in-depth detail into these steps.

*This page may contain spoilers.*

## Gen 3 Land Packs

Gen 3 Land Packs can be opened to gain 1 x random Gen 3 Land Deed, with chance:

* 40% for Common
* 35% for Uncommon
* 15% for Rare
* 7% for Epic
* 3% for Legendary

The task to Craft Gen3 Land Pack is in the Rover Works, under Land Crafting (Gen 3) category. It can be posted as a job providing you have the knowledge.

Send out your Hauling Rover on a dangerous mission to claim a Gen 3 Land Pack using a charted Viable Land Site Survey (Standard). Begin laying out the foundations and basic utility ready for building on the land. Land Pack success is 100%, but the Hauling Rover has a 20% chance to break independently.

***Note:** Before 1st Sept 2023 00:00 UTC the previous task for Crafting Gen 3 Land Packs will still be available, which requires obtaining a Surveyor Map. Both versions can be used to complete the Gen 3 Land Crafting missions, and count towards the achievement.*

*The recipe to craft a surveyor map has been removed, and a recipe added to revert old surveyor maps back into the input items. This is under the Land Crafting (Gen 3) category in the Rover Works.*

## Gen 3 Land Deeds

Land deeds are used to claim land plots on Mars. Gen 3 Land Deeds have space as below:

* Common Land Deed (Gen 3): 75 space
* Uncommon Land Deed (Gen 3): 130 space
* Rare Land Deed (Gen 3): 200 space
* Epic Land Deed (Gen 3): 260 space
* Legendary Land Deed (Gen 3): 325 space

You can craft specific rarities of land deed in the Rover Works, after having unlocked the knowledge to do so through the Crafting Gen 3 Land missions (see below). Crafting the land deeds can be posted as a job, but unlocking the knowledge will require the player to level up their own player level in robotics in order to progress to the next stage. This is to reward personal progression and dedication to the robotics profession.

Required Player Levels:

* To unlock crafting Common Land Deed (G3) - Robotics Level 40
* To unlock crafting Uncommon Land Deed (G3) - Robotics Level 60
* To unlock crafting Rare Land Deed (G3) - Robotics Level 75
* To unlock crafting Epic Land Deed (G3) - Robotics Level 90
* To unlock crafting Legendary Land Deed (G3) - Robotics Level 100 (requires player specialization)

## Viable Land Site Survey

Viable Land Site Surveys are new items required for crafting Gen 3 Land. There is Standard (for Pack crafting) and Common-Legendary rarities (for Deed crafting). They are tradeable on the marketplace, and can be obtained through 2 methods:

* Collect land test data from the minigame “Exploration for New Lands” and then combine sets of test data within the Bazaar “Chart Viable Land Site” Tasks
* Task “Explore for Viable Land Sites” in the Rover Works, which gives a chance of a random site survey, depending on what knowledge you have unlocked.

### Chart Viable Land Site

These are tasks in the Trading Bazaar that can be done to get a Viable Land Site Survey. You collect the set of test data from the minigame Exploration for New Lands (see below) and then combine them in the Bazaar to chart a survey for the matching rarity. This requires the land deed knowledge gained by progressing through the missions. Additionally, 5 common site surveys can be combined into one standard site survey.

### Explore for Viable Land Sites

This is a task in the Rover Works that can be done to get a Viable Land Site Survey. You send an exploring rover out to try to find viable sites for colonisation. There is a 25% chance you will gain the standard survey required for crafting a Gen 3 Land Pack. As you unlock the knowledge to craft specific land deeds, your rover gains the chance to bring back a survey for those rarities. There is a 5% chance your rover will break during the mission.

This task can be posted as a job, but the knowledge requirement is based on your own learnt knowledge.

To help preserve rarity of Legendary Lands, the Viable Land Site Survey (Legendary) is NOT available through this task, and can only be gained through the minigame and bazaar route

## Exploration for New Lands (Hex Minigame)

*Embark on a journey through the Martian landscape, guiding your rover as you meticulously collect tests and data to establish the viability of a site for colonisation.*

*Forge a path to the different areas suitable for testing, determining the best routes to preserve your rover.*

This minigame is primarily used to obtain the test data required for Chart Viable Land Site.

Consumes:

* Surveyors Permit x 1
* Exploring Rover x 1 - either 1 Exploring Rover or 1 Broken Rover is returned to your inventory once you leave the game

How to Play:

* You start with 100 rover durability
* Different ground types (!) offer variety of risk to your rovers durability
* Objective is to head to the testing grounds (?) and perform the relevant land conditions test. (Testing also reduces rover durability)
* Keep an eye on your rover’s durability, once it is below 50, there is a risk that your rover will break and end the game (0-5% risk depending on ground type)
* If the durability is below 25, the risk is x2 (0-10% risk depending on ground type)
* If your rover reaches 0 durability, the game ends (doesn’t break your rover)
* There’s a chance to locate repair kits while conducting tests
* Head to the ‘Safe ground’ marker to repair your rover, each kit repairs 40 durability

**Surveyors Permit**

Surveyors Permit is crafted via an instant task in the Roverworks, "Surveyors Permit Application" which can be found under the Land Crafting (Gen 3) Category. Consumes:

* Surveyor Coin x 3
* Dusk x 30 \*

*\*The dusk cost for the game goes directly to the STEM Stash dynamic treasury pool with a 20% burn rate.*

Notes:

* The terrain tiles that you move across (marked with !) have the durability loss/break risk applied as you move onto the tile and this occurs every time you pass over the tile.
* The testing sites (marked with ?) have the durability loss/break risk applied when you perform the action, and once this is done the blue ? icon turns to grey and the action is no longer available on that site. You can move across these tiles without occurring any durability loss/break risk.
* The Safe Ground tile and any empty tiles have no durability loss/break risk, and can be moved across freely.

Testing data rarity chance (Odds are the same across all the testing sites):

* Non-viable (No use other than for achievement, is not kept after the game): 20%
* Common: 35%
* Uncommon: 30%
* Rare: 8%
* Epic: 5%
* Legendary: 2%

Bonus Minerals Loot Table
 Water Rich Clay
 Chromium
 Barite
 Halite

All testing sites have a 40% chance to gain bonus loot, except Impact Crater which has a 60% chance to gain bonus loot. Moving across Hazardous Terrain also has a 25% chance to gain bonus loot.

## Trade Terrain Test Data

At the Trading Bazaar you can trade completed sets of terrain test data with the officials at Ad Astra Development Zone for rewards. This provides an alternative turn-in for the completed sets gained from the minigame, if you don’t wish to use it for a land survey.

*\*Dusk rewards from these tasks draw from the STEM Stash dynamic treasury pool*
*\*\*Glitter rewards from these tasks draw from the Gameplay Glitter dynamic treasury pool*

 Trade Land Test Data (Uncommon)
 Trade Land Test Data (Rare)
 Trade Land Test Data (Epic)
 Trade Land Test Data (Legendary)

*For the Trade Terrain Test Data tasks:*
*\*Dusk rewards draw from the STEM Stash dynamic treasury pool*
*\*\*Glitter rewards draw from the Gameplay Glitter dynamic treasury pool*

## Missions - Includes Unlocking Land Deed Knowledge

13 Missions in the Gen 3 Land Crafting chain to guide the player through crafting land, progressively unlocking the ability to craft land deeds of specific rarity.

***Note:** These missions involve the player gaining and using “knowledge” items. You would need to own a library in order to gain the knowledge from these missions. If you dismantle, sell or transfer away your last library, you will lose all knowledge gained.*

## Achievements

Please see Achievements in the game for possible rewards. These are all under the “Robotics” category.

## Minting

You can mint all rarities of virtual (i.e. in-game) gen3 land deed and virtual gen3 land packs to Wax, Solana or Polygon blockchains. This is done from the item in your in-game inventory and costs 0.1 minting tokens plus 1 glitter.

Once these are NFTs on the blockchain, they can be traded on the secondary markets or deposited (burned) back into the game to use, by going to the relevant “wallet items” category in your in-game inventory.

When you claim a new land in the game, it consumes the virtual land deed and mints a new NFT for the land plot to your choice of blockchain or no-chain (kept virtual on Million on Mars servers). This does not currently cost a transaction fee. The land plot NFT is kept in your wallet while you can use it to play.

On the Polygon blockchain, minted land deeds are in the Million on Mars | Lands collection in land.deeds schema. Minted land packs are in the Million on Mars | Packs collection. Minted land plots are in the Million on Mars | Land collection in land.plots schema.

On the Solana blockchain, minted land deeds are in the Million on Mars Lands collection in land.deeds schema. Minted land packs are in the Million on Mars Packs collection. Minted land plots are in the Million on Mars | Land collection in land.plots schema.

On the Wax blockchain they are all in the onmars (Million on Mars) collection, with Land Deeds in the land.deeds schema, Land Packs in packs schema and Land Plots in the land.plots schema
