Land Management
Managing your lands efficiently is crucial. You have two distinct methods to ensure your lands stay productive: manual restoration and drone automation. Let’s break down each method, focusing on the specific requirements, benefits and penalties.
Resource Depletion and Treatment: Understanding the Basics
Natural Depletion: Your land’s resources, such as fruits, crops, mushrooms, and fish, diminish over time. For example, a land with 40% fruitfulness can drop to 30% if not attended to.
Treatment Requirements: Resources deplete 10% weekly, once a resource is depleted it’s time for treatment. The more the depletion, the more treatments required (e.g., 20% depletion needs two treatments)
Current Penalty — Reduced Resource Production: Unmaintained lands already suffer from reduced resource output. Regular care is essential to keep your lands at peak productivity.
Manual Land Restoration: Weekly Commitment with Specific Treatments
Base Visits: If you have multiple lands, each requires an individual visit to its base.
Treatment Process: Every land has a ‘Treatment’ button for resource maintenance. This needs to be done weekly.
Resource-Specific Treatment Items: Different resources require specific treatment items. Soil might need minerals and nutrients, while fish populations require water enhancers.
Drone-Assisted Restoration: Efficiency and Automation
Staking Drones: By staking drones to your lands, they automatically take over maintenance tasks.
Monthly Maintenance Cycle: Unlike the weekly manual approach, drones follow a monthly schedule, reducing the frequency of care required.
Fueling with /fill Command: Drones need monthly refueling with oil crafted from fish. The /fill command lets you refuel all staked drones at once, once you have enough fuel on you.
Simplified Resource Management: With drones, you don’t need to worry about different treatment items for various resources. The drones handle it all, using just the oil as fuel.
Reputation and Friendship Penalties: Neglecting your land will result in a decrease in Reputation and Friendship points. The more your resources deplete, the greater the penalties.
Maximum Penalties: A 50% depletion will incur a maximum penalty of -5 Reputation and -5 Friendship, once a worker or an explorer is on your land.
Seasonal Events: Natural Resource Boosts
Meteor Showers: These rare events, occurring at the start of each season, can naturally boost your land’s resources.
Manual vs. Drone Maintenance
Manual Treatment
Weekly visits and treatments.
Specific treatment items needed for each resource type.
More hands-on and time/resource consuming.
Resource-Specific Manual Restoration: Weekly Attention for Each Resource Type
For Fish (Mineral Satchel Requirements):
Weekly: 10 Bauxite, 15 Anatase, 5 Limonite, 5 Chrysocolla, and 1 Chromolite.
Monthly: 160 mixed resources and 4 Chromolites.
For Wood (Tree Growth Accelerator Requirements):
Weekly: 20 Bauxite, 10 Anatase, 5 Chrysocolla, 5 Galena, and 1 Chromolite.
Monthly: 160 mixed resources and 4 Chromolites.
For Stone and Other Minerals (Heat-induced Seismic Activities):
To craft: 20 Stones, 20 Wood, and 1 Chromolite.
Monthly: 160 mixed resources and 4 Chromolites.
For Crops, Mushrooms and Fruits:
To craft: 10 Bauxite, 10 Chrysocolla, 5 Galena, 5 Limonite and 1 Chromolite.
Monthly: 160 mixed resources and 4 Chromolites.
Drone Maintenance
Monthly maintenance with less frequent attention needed.
Unified /fill command for all drones, using oil crafted from fish.
No need to manage different treatment items for each resource.
Fueling Your Drones:
Monthly: 30 fish are required to craft the fuel for the drones.
