Chapter 2 Additional Details:
Resource Collection Mechanics: Currently, resource generation is tied to individual players, but Chapter 2 will allocate resources based on each land. This global cap on daily resource generation encourages players to collaborate within Guilds, fostering a more balanced and strategic approach to resource management.
Crafting Mechanics: Personal crafting stations will be exclusive to a single user, streamlining the crafting process. The introduction of multi-crafting capabilities will enable players to stack multiple instances of the same recipe, optimizing production.
Tiering System and New Industry Tiers: A comprehensive tiering system for resources and crafting recipes will be introduced in Chapter 2, categorizing them into four distinct tiers. This ensures that all resources serve a purpose, with strict limitations on the number of energy-producing resources per tier. Tools and soil will also undergo tiering and durability constraints. Additionally, there will be new industries in the upcoming chapter including stone and metal crafting.
Land progression: Free-to-play lands, Specks, will enable players to collect lower-tier resources independently, gradually progressing to higher-tier resource generation as they advance with the ability to upgrade Specls six times using Coins and $PIXEL. NFT lands will grant exclusive access to top-tier resources, rewarding landowners and those in Guilds with unique advantages. Our ultimate goal is to giving more rewards to more committed users and give you more reasons to use $PIXEL in-game.
