Pixels Land Info

# **Land Types, Purpose and Function**

Pixels Farm Lands are the collection of 5,000 land NFTs for the game Pixels. While they are not necessary to play the game, it offers a player more purpose and value towards game goals. These lands come with different traits that offer various forms of value to the holder within the game, but as Pixels is a new & growing game, game states change, causing trait values to change. Due to ever-changing game state, a lot of speculation forms, and unconfirmed data circulates, sometimes resulting in misinformed or rushed purchases. Hence the purpose of this is to clarify and inform.

### **Land Information**

###### *Details from the Litepaper*

* Land Owners have unique benefits associated with an ownership relationship to the land that is not found in other land interactions.
* All Industries are available to Owned Land, and some are unique to Owned Land.
* A Land Owner adds value to the NFT by working, industrializing, automating, and decorating it. Active Industries are limited by available land size but limitless overall.
* They can be mothballed at any time, and a new Industry initiated, as long as your land size can accommodate it.

###### *Current KNOWN benefits of owning land*

* Your own piece of the game that you can decorate, add industries to, rent out or have your own home! You can even have visitors 🙂
* Currently you get one extra bookmark, and an extra row of bag space. Also no withdrawal limits. [These are usually VIP benefits]
* VIP Benefits can stack on top of Land Owner Benefits.
* Land Owners receive surplus (1%) of raw materials farmed/harvested on their land(s).
* Lands are marked in a separate tab apart from bookmarks, so you don't need to waste bookmarks to teleport.
	+ *Speculation: Pets will be tied to lands but not sure in what way yet.*
	+ *Speculation: It's been rumored that $pixel can be earned through land ownership, but there has been no clarification.*

### **Land Speck**

Purchasable with $Berry in-game, the land speck is a limited teaser to owning your own land. While this land can be visited by other players, there's no added benefit to this function.

### NFT Lands

###### **Environment**

Pixels Lands boast three different environments. In the early stages, these environments didn't play much of a factor, but as time passed, Pixels Team incorporated (and continues to incorporate) more use per land type.

Land lands are what would be considered Normal/Green Lands (The ground is green). Currently, Clay (Mining) can only be found on these lands.

Water Lands are what would be considered Water/Blue Lands (The ground is blue). Currently, Marble (Mining) can only be found on these lands and it is the only land where Watermints (farming) can be planted.

Space Lands are what would be considered Space/Purple Lands (The ground is purple). Currently, Voidtonium (Mining) can only be found on these lands, and it is the only land where Astracactus (farming) can be planted.

Aside from the rare resources specified above, every environment can offer whichever industry they build and place on that land.

###### **Sizes**

Visually, large and small lands look identical in terms of size. The differences are in the utility!

Land sizes determine how many industries and soil you'll be able to place on that land (See "Pixels Farm Lands vs Speck"). It also determines the amount of trees you'll have on that land (see more under "Trees").

###### **House**

Externally, houses look identical on every land. You cannot modify the exterior, but you can change the position of the house on the land.

Internally, houses are either a single room entity, or a double room entity. Each house has a stove that can be used to cook and increase cooking skill.

There are currently no other purposes for the house aside from cooking, and designing.

###### **Tree Density**

Trees are needed to increase forestry levels and are visible on the lands. If there are more trees, then more forestry can be achieved on that land. Trees cannot be added/planted, and will regrow if they're cut.

Each land type has visibly different color trees, but this is for aesthetic purposes only. All trees function exactly the same.

Space Lands have Red, Teal & Pink Trees; Water Lands have Purple and Green Trees; Land Lands have Green & Brown Trees.

Size of the land determines the number of trees available on that land:

 Small

###### **Windmill**

Windmills are an NFT-only Industry used to "grind stuff up". This skill helps to build up the Granger skill.

Windmills are considered a crafting industry, meaning you place raw materials in to get a more refined material.

Generally, it can be used to turn grainbows into flour, iron bars into shrapnel, and various other craftable items.

###### **Coop**

Coops are an NFT-only industry used to house chickens. This industry helps to build up the Aviculture skill.

Coops are considered a resource industry, meaning you gather raw materials from this station over a course of time.

Generally, these coops provide resources such as eggs, seltsam eggs and eggsplosives regardless of land type.

###### **Quonset Hut**

Every NFT farm has a Quonset Hut which is where surplus is stored. The Quonset Hut can store up to 18 stacks of items, and the land owner must collect their surplus from this building.

The Quonset Hut is not a storage facility (a mistake commonly made!)

Surplus is essentially 1% of all raw resources collected from the land (currently these are items from forestry, sluggery, aviculture, farming & mining)

More people that use your land, the more surplus you'll get

###### **Silo**

The Silo acts similarly to the Quonset Hut. Additional surplus is stored in this building. Accessing either the Silo or the Quonset Hut will show the 36 slots of items accessible to this land.

*Fun Fact: Initially, large lands were expected to be rarer. A small (but unfortunate) typo was made when creating the NFTs, and now larger lands are much more common!*

### Purchasing & Selling Lands

###### **Purchasing**

Lands are currently purchased from the Secondary market, such as OpenSea. After purchasing land, it may take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours for the game to register the lands in your wallet. Please note that during this time, the previous owner can remove soil, industries, decorations and other items from the land.

###### **Selling**

Out of respect, if you market your lands in the server, please be upfront about what you're selling, including decorations, industries, & soils.

### Using & Managing Lands

###### **Accessing Farm Land**

When Pixels has registered that the land is in your wallet, you can access the land by clicking the Lands button in the top right of the game, going to the "My Land" tab, and pressing "Visit" on the land you wish to visit.

###### **Accessing Settings**

Clicking the Welcome Board (pictured above), land owners can access settings for their land. From this menu, land owners can rename their farm, add a builder or a manager, or limit access to the farm.

###### **Managers & Builders**

Managers & Builders have different levels of access. Both can add industries, soil, and decorations to the farm. Both can move items from one place to the other on the farm. Builders do \*not\* have access to remove items from the farm, nor access the surplus. Managers basically have all the access rights of an owner (including access to settings) but currently have no permissions to edit the house.

###### **Mover & Remover**

The Mover and the Remover are both tools to decorate your farm. They each move and remove items on the farm, respectively. You cannot remove NFT traits (this includes the house, silo, windmill, coop, Quonset hut, or trees). Removing soil or any non-NFT industry will clear any user-placed tools/crops/animals from those traits and will return them to the user's backpack. Using the mover on soil or any non-NFT industry will keep all user-placed tools/crops/animals on those traits.

###### **Storage Chests**

Any storage chest placed on the land can only be accessed by the owner of the land. Additionally, managers \*can\* remove storage chests from the land, possibly resulting in loss of items.

###### **Discoverability Points**

Farm Charm Crystals and certain decorations offer discoverability points on the farms where they are placed, which increases the likeliness of the farm being seen/featured in the Featured Tab at the Infiniportal. The discoverability points for the farm charm crystals decay over a period of time, while the decoration discoverability points are permanent as long as it is placed on the land. To use the farm charm crystals, purchase them from the general store/Hazel, go to the farm that you want to increase discoverability on, and use it on the ground.

###### **Other Info**
