Gm all! I've been building, collecting fuel and have now scanned and collected all the 15 BP.s Anyone have any suggestions/tips re: meaningful activities to do/trial in IZ you're happy to share while we all wait for next beta stage to commence.🙌 👀

this would be awesome......would save so much time especially if own multiple plots 👍

[little moon]

Is there patch notes for the new IZ version?

nvm found it

[vivid cipher]

[hallow dagger]

I have Tier 1 land and currently I have 5 biodata, 15 facts and 15 blueprints, what should I do after this step? Please guide me.

[timber glacier]

Take notes on how you did it and prepare to do it all over again for season 1. Then at the end of the season you'll get to mint them for keeping them when open beta launches.

[severe sparrow]

I’m at 3, 9 and 9. How many scanners did you have and did you upgrade to the max?

[hallow dagger]

Thanx

[hallow dagger]

Scan in different parts of the earth and scan two biodata and after these two discover 3 facts and 3 blueprints each.

[urban birch]

Hi all, new here, I just bought teir 1 land but cant produce any hydrogen, have a bought a bad plot? is there any other way i can get hydrogen without mining it?

[hoary forge]

Converters

[rotund forum]

One way to "abuse" the marketplace the way I see it is to use it as unlimited storage. You can build several silos, but you can also send thousands of units of fuel against a higher trade (unlikely someone will accept that) and when it is expired it stays in the marketplace, for now it seems indefinitely and in this matter you can accumulate much more than you could ever do with building a lot of silos.

[urban birch]

thanks

[grand sigil]

Is halcyon a good area?

[twin atlas]

Anyone know the following information: Will there be an option to get 2 builders in lluvium Zero?
Will you be able to trade on marketplace with other players directly?
Will the gems be purchasable with sILV2?
How does sILV2 purchase Fuel?

[hoary forge]

Hi i think @spring mist can help you with that.
But its a weekend so maybe it will take a bit for a answer from him.

[wary prism]

I submitted a feedback form for this on day 1. Hopefully there’s a fix in the works.

[tulip perch]

anybody else log out then see a flash at the bottom of the screen saying "logg'd in" doesn't seem to be an issue but strange

[fair temple]

New builders would potentially be obtained by in-game purchases. The team had a thought of allowing people to earn them after X levels. But imo it would make more sense to spend for them. This would be done in either sILV2 or Eth.

The marketplace will be in Alpha mode for the upcoming Alpha seasons. You will trade with a bot. But it seems like you'll be able to put your offer on the market and another player would be able to see that on Open beta.

SILV2 is an everything-token but cant be traded for fuel. It should be one of the two tokens that allow you to buy speedup gems for IZ however. (Eth+sILV2)

For the overworld, if you want to go on a run, you would burn X amount of sILV2 instead of fuel. You would not buy fuel, you would directly get into the zone by burning sILV2. How much, idk. Something like checking the ILV/Eth value and at the same time the fuel/Eth value and then burning a similar amount of sILV2 based on that?

Trading fuel on the marketplace for sILV2 shouldnt be possible... but the team will have to explain what their vision on that is exactly.
To me it seems like the only reason to have sILV2 and ETH on IZ is to buy the speedup tokens that in no shape or form help with scanning or fuel productivity (or builders potentially).

[twin atlas]

I love you Garf 🙂

I have a bug again, converters do not bring passive earnings from salt and when leveling up to lvl 2, where they should give two salts for an exchange, they still give one

[hoary forge]

did you have the new update? ver. 0.1.5

[empty path]

We all do

[tough forge]

yes, At the first download, there were resources in the converter, after 4 days had passed, nothing appeared

[hoary forge]

ok can you send a bug report please.

[bleak escarp]

noob question - an Anti-Solon Inverter II - converts 2 Crypton or 2 Hyperion into 2 Solon? The upgrade from I to II reads like it would convert 1 into 2 (since it has the +1)...

[timber glacier]

2 into 2 (The +1 indicates how much more it will cost/produce compared to it's current level)

[bleak escarp]

gotcha - thank you

[timber glacier]

You're welcome

[pine lake]

Any word yet on when land will be going up for sale again?

[hoary forge]

There is no sale planed in a long time. First we need the public beta to see how much fuel is needed. Than if more needed a sale can be asked for via a IIP.
If you want to buy land in the next time you need to do it via secondary market. Illuvidex ImmutableX

[mortal smelt]

i need a land "sale" again alright, come on for the low low that the bots won't snipe!!!!

[hoary forge]

Prices are cheap right now. A few months ago it was way higher

[tardy falcon]

Seems like a buyer’s market until season one officially starts… then demand may come back.

[mortal smelt]

yeah but ETH price is up so OOF

stupid fiat why won't you follow ETH

[loud fern]

what happens after we find our first blueprint? Do we need to do anything in order to keep it/mint our first nft after the reset?

[hoary forge]

There will be a minting window before the Public beta. So you find them and wait for that window.

[loud fern]

I know there arent dates but any idea of how long that minting window will be?

[vivid cipher]

I would assume 2 week’s minimum with at least 1 week notice before that 2 week period would even start.

[loud fern]

oh ok perfect! I would just hate to be away on work to come back missing the window

[loud fern]

also, how do we actually mint the blueprints and get it into our wallets?

[hoary forge]

We don't know yet. Infos coming with the announcement i think.

[loud fern]

ooo ok thank you! I'll keep an eye out then

[hushed nebula]

sir good am.. is there a wipe out before season 1,?

[hoary forge]

Yes before season 1 starts all will get wiped

[hushed nebula]

ok sir tnx..

[bleak escarp]

Are the Daily and Weekly tasks/goals not implemented yet? Haven't seen either populate during my week of playing.

[hoary forge]

No only the first ones.

[main smelt]

for the illuvium to work on mac , I did something with my settings, so the setup on mac doesnt throw error

[bleak escarp]

Thank you

[high sleet]

Do converters not boost Extractors efficiency anymore?

Anyone know?

[high sleet]

I thought Converters boosted harvesters?? Am I having a mental block lol. Maybe I'm imagining things

[tulip perch]

I have 3 it increased my mat lab efficieny to 150% it seem'd to help in research

[granite tartan]

Hey, any estimates regarding season one?

[fair temple]

Extractors boosted converters. Converters never boosted extractors.

[high sleet]

Damn im kinda silly eh

[fair temple]

Everyone has that some days!

[high sleet]

U r good at ilvz yeah??

Tryna come up with good tutorials for yt

[fair temple]

Im good at anything Illuvium. If you want the pro's then im not exactly your guy however. I think Vana and Super Hamster are able to go more in depth if that id what you want. They have been doing like 36 converters on a plot or something.

[high sleet]

No it's not that hahah. More ideas. What sort of things would make good tutorials

[grand jacinth]

sorry guys, we are currently in Apha season zero, or in Alpha seasson one ?

[wary prism]

IZ is still in season 0

[mental anchor]

There was this concept that the passive generation from converters would be influenced by nearby harvesters (as though traces in the atmosphere were being collected from the harvesters). I haven't been able to test it. Is that what you were thinking of?

[high sleet]

No no. The efficiency of converters is increased. For some reason I thought it went both ways 🤣🤣

[fleet tendon]

Hi, so do we get to keep the blueprints this time, if we found any?

[hoary forge]

no. we still in season 0.
after season 1 starts you can find and keep them

[blissful storm]

Are we expecting season 1 in Monday's announcement or not yet? 🙈

[true cradle]

i dont think so...

[tardy falcon]

Would be a nice thing to wake up to.

[blissful storm]

It would be really good. Getting close to 2 month delay and season 1 is basically for testing... 😅

[dire bobcat]

How many people here have beta access? I tried to fill out the Google form, but it said "connection not private."

[whole spear]

The one in #1075137668821823628 ?

[strange ridge]

At this point, buying a land T1 worth the money? (not trying to predict future value of lands, just trying to figure out if resources extracted have any relevant value ad of today)

[random siren]

yes

[strange ridge]

And any relevant differences between regions that i should consider when i choose a land to buy?

[rotund reef]

Mainly the probability of finding illuvials of a certain element for blueprints.

[strange ridge]

Great to know. Thank you for your help

[honest linden]

Just bought a piece of t1 land excited to see whats going on with ilv zero

when i first log into zero do i use my ranger name or email?

[copper inlet]

email

[honest linden]

thanks i just thought it was weird its been authenticating credentials for like 20 minutes

[copper inlet]

you dont have to go thru this discord bot if thats what you talking about (one that gives you Land owner rank), just connect wallet that you have your land on to an account on illuviums official website

[dire bobcat]

Ya. I couldn't fill it out because it came up in Google Chrome as "connection not private" and the "https" was crossed out in red.

[honest linden]

I have it connected to a ILV account but when I run the actual illuvium zero file its not finding my account it might be because i just bought it

[copper inlet]

ahh, yeah, there is a server reset on 00:00 UTC in Arena, and when i tell ppl to wait till then with issues like this, they never coming back xD so i would wait till then and see

[honest linden]

sounds good thank you

[copper inlet]

if it will not fix itself i would rise a ticket (they work fast, so help would be in lightning speed)

I know it increases mat lab efficiency but we don't need more data banks to hold more illuvials scanned right? Technically should only need one?

Or do we need to add one more data bank for each illuvial successfully scanned...

[tulip perch]

One data bank holds at least the 15 for season 1 not sure if they hold more

Illuvium Zero Tech Update [04/10 - 04/14]

Hey everyone, here we go for a progress update on IZ!

• We shipped v0.1.5! This update came with a bunch of QoL for the marketplace, better fluidity in game and many gameplay bugfixes. We've been very happy with the current feedback!
• We've been discussing a lot internally on season 1. We do want a v0.1.6 hotfix with some last minute work, but both will be very close to each other. This hotfix is currently ongoing final dev work before going to QA for release! We should have a date for both in the coming days!
• Work has also started on minting blueprints, though it won't be out for a few more weeks, at least until we have a clearer picture on the minting window.
• We've been bringing back the web build from the dead, making sure everything works and testing some new ideas relating to this (I want to see permalinks to share your plot with others)
• In terms of pure gameplay, we won't be introducing any other new feature in the alpha. Most of the team has switched on the beta since last week, I'll be updating you more often on how this is going after season 1 release.
• We've started optimizing all of our assets for better distribution. Here are some things that you can expect with future versions:
  => more animations and VFX on screen
  => game size should be significantly lowered
  => loading times should be shorter
  => the game should be Potato™️ compliant and run on a TI-84*
• We've also started work on making our sound design 10000% better, with the better inclusion of the audio team in our process!

Thanks to the community for the feedback on 0.1.5, the very complete discussions on game design here on Discord, the mod team for doing an amazing work and the encouragements that we do read and print on our walls to remind us why we do this. We're just as passionate as you to release the best game for everyone, so once again, thank you all for the support

*due to platform limitations, the team is not responsible for calculators catching fire spontaneously

[empty path]

My potato is ready for you 🥔

[blissful storm]

" We've been discussing a lot internally on season 1. We do want a v0.1.6 hotfix with some last minute work, but both will be very close to each other"

Does this mean v0.1.6 will be season 1 and it's days away? or I got that wrong and we don't have an ETA for season 1 yet?

[spring mist]

v0.1.6 will come before season 1, but concretely the data wipe will reuse the same build yes, with a version bump to 0.2.0. We're working on the ETA specifically for season 1 today.

[blissful storm]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-begging-pretty-please-beg-on-your-knees-pray-for-mercy-gif-26344462

I hope to be in the days rather than in the weeks 😄

[twin atlas]

Hi @empty path

again

can we talk in DMs 🙂

[empty path]

DMs are a scam

[whole spear]

Thanks for the update! Amazing work as always

[high sleet]

Legend!

Keep up the good work

[fickle goblet]

This is a great format for updates, if will be done regularly. No blog post needed and posting here allows community to give feedback instantly

[vestal fable]

Can we have more than 5 biodata?

[fair temple]

Awesome work!

You say there wont be new features for the alpha, as the team has switched on the beta.

Aaron has been pretty vocal about how he loves his Morphopods. When do you expect these to get added to IZ? Will this in any way challenge rhe balance that comes out of Alpha V1?

[muted tree]

Thanks for the update!
Just curios what kind of hotfix will be introduced in v0.1.6? Why do we need an additional version for it?

[spring mist]

@south mural is mostly right, it's a pre deployment with mostly the tooling for the data wipe 🙂

[spring mist]

this is definitely beta stuff, it's part of a trio of big features we want to add!

as for an ETA on this, it will definitely require some work to get there, so we're looking at weeks for now 😄

[fair temple]

Wait an ETA on Alpha season 1, or ETA on the morphopods?
Since you said Beta and a trio of big features, wouldn't it be safer to assume that, in accordance with the roadmap we should expect Q4?

[spring mist]

EAT on morphopods/beta here, sorry for the wording. Q4 is our target!

[fair temple]

So "we're looking at weeks" is a bit optimistic 😄
Sure!

[cerulean steppe]

Is it just me or do others have the same problem with the terminology?

In the "My Offers" tab the UI displays an offer I accepted before in the "Uplink Offers" tab (first line), which technically isn't my offer, at best it is my trade with someone else.

This is the first problem, but it is just a naming issue, the second one is bigger:

The UI shows what the other party is offering in the first column called "Offer" and what I am asking for in the second column as "Asking".

When I then actually create my own offer, it shows it as "Pending" (second line) with Offer and Asking reversed.

Which technically is correct, but I don't really know what column displays what I am getting from a trade.

I have to somehow deduce from how I setup the trade to know that it is the first column.

If the first column was called "You get" and the second "You give" it would be more obvious.

[muted tree]

Will we have Zoom out feature in Alpha ?

[timber glacier]

Yes, this is a major issue in trade chats in pretty much any game as well.

Just as an example (which perfectly illustrates the above picture): "Trading 45 Crypton for 50 Solon"
What do you get and what do you give? (Hint, it depends on who made the post).

Consistent columns should definetly be a thing (What you give always on the left, what you get always on the right?).

So it definetly could be more clear, either by a "You give" and "You get" column or by color coding (either with or without +/-):

[cerulean steppe]

I personally would also like to have the "My Trades (Offers)" tab as the first tab. I definitely need to check it more often than the "Uplink Offers" tab. Uplink Offers would then also be logically closer to "New Offer" since both are ways to accept or create a new offer.

[oak solstice]

Probably not, it was listed as future things in last week's update

[muted tree]

Yeah, it won't be in recently release, but I just want to make sure if we could see it in future Alpha?

[timber glacier]

I would also like to see different tabs for resources and fuel, or at least a search filter to only show a specific resource/fuel

[oak solstice]

From the update notes

• In terms of pure gameplay, we won't be introducing any other new feature in the alpha.

[muted tree]

Yes, I saw this update, but not sure if zoom out is kind of "gameplay" lol.

[oak solstice]

Seems like this Alpha build is getting the hotfix, and minus any unforseen bugs and the minting implementation, the Alpha build will be in maintenance mode while everyone is working on the Beta build.

[mortal smelt]

w00t! Things are getting spicy 🥵

[muted tree]

You are right, this is more likely, but still hope we can see it in season 1 😅

[rancid lion]

not just you, I've submitted a fairly extensive feedback/suggestion ticket that goes over the problems with the marketplace's current UI.
Personally I think it's pretty important the "sides" remain consistent throughout the UI. The player's perspective of the trade (what they're giving) is what is ultimately important to the player themselves. Just pick a side and always have the player on that side. I think "left = player" and "right = the other end of the trade" is pretty much de facto standard.

I mean look at the world of warcraft trade window. Simple as can be, and massively effective to tell instantly what is being traded in what direction.

[cerulean steppe]

This highlights a huge problem with the way feedback is reported and the follow up discussion or lack thereof.

I have also reported feedback as a ticket and never heard back.

I would suggest we post feedback here in Discord and not via the ZenDesk link.

Moderators could create threads for each feedback received, if they deem it necessary.

They should treat us as free testers, who are willing to help.

[empty path]

All feedback has to be logged in ZenDesk, we have been told to stop creating threads 🙂

[cerulean steppe]

Ah, ok. Do you know why?

[empty path]

Easier to see how many people have the same feedback / bug

[cerulean steppe]

That might be true, but only if it is easy enough to report the issue.

If the issues were visible to us as threads we could simply vote on each thread's issue and count the numbers this way.

It is actually quite time consuming to report a bug via ZenDesk and much easier to click on a vote button.

I would guess a lot of bugs won't be reported because people are too lazy to enter all the details in ZenDesk.

But the important part is: I never heard back from my feedback, e.g. I asked to rename "My Offers" to "My Trades".

I don't expect my feedback to be implemented, but I would at least like to know why not.

I mean, we are alpha testers and part of the team, not just customers who report an issue and then wait for a solution.

I at least would like to help out where I can.

[rancid lion]

I've gotten a response on every single ticket I've submitted.

[cerulean steppe]

There is actually another way to implement the UI:

Uplink Offers only shows offers from someone else, when I accept one of these offers, they are always sorted to be on top.

The My Offers tab should only show the offers I created myself. Right now it also shows the accepted Uplink Offers, which is very confusing and duplicate information.

Then the naming of these tabs makes more sense and this change should be real easy to implement.

[cerulean steppe]

Ok, but what did they say? That they received your feedback or more?

[rancid lion]

These are just specifically about IZ marketplace UI. I've got several other requests open that I've gone back and forth with the team on, provided further testing and details, they've asked me to try something or give more info, etc.

[cerulean steppe]

Looks like an automated response.

[rancid lion]

Most ticketing systems have templates. That's normal. Pick template from a dropdown, fill in the blank, send away.

[cerulean steppe]

I don't want come over as dissing the dev team.

I am just disappointed about how the current market place UI works (in details) and don't know how to tell the dev team.

They are not active in Discord and my feedback via ZenDesk has not been answered except for the template email above.

[rancid lion]

No worries, I do harbor wishes that there was a bit more back and forth, but ultimately our place is to offer suggestions. Their place is to take the suggestions and do the design and implementation on it.

The marketplace UI is a big indicator of that, like if someone just put a screenshot of the intended UI here first we would have flagged how unclear it is right away and saved some work on the implementation side.

(but UI is easy to change... getting the functionality is the important part)

[cerulean steppe]

Exactly, just a screenshot would have been enough, we could have discussed it in Discord and wouldn't have experienced this time as delay, but as productive work/help we provided.

And we could even use ChatGPT to summarize all the feedback we generate in Discord and send them to the dev team, if they don't have time to be in Discord.

But honestly: Being active in Discord would be an awesome way for the devs to learn what we as investors and gamers like or dislike.

[rancid lion]

Agreed, HOWEVER I'd like to just submit the idea that maybe they are at least reading Discord, and may have even anticipated that feedback. It's very possible they internally built the marketplace and already had in internal notes "UI is temporary". They could very well have expected this kind of feedback specifically on the UI and intentionally didn't say anything about it to us at all to gauge our reaction and confirm it lines up with what they want to do.

I've deployed plenty of network automation web interfaces and sometimes told my team "it's ugly but the core functionality is there. I'll clean it up and make it easier to use, but I want you to play with the functionality and tell me how that works."

so since we're out of the loop we kind of have to make assumptions, but that's not necessarily an accurate picture of what they're doing.

[vivid cipher]

The devs certainly do a lot more reading than they do talking

[nova epoch]

"game size should be significantly lowered" - means the map won't be 25x25 pixels?

ah you mean memory? xD kk

[hoary forge]

Yes less data/memory.

[nova epoch]

[cerulean steppe]

Good to know, but why do they not engage in discussions about the features they are developing and we discuss ?

[vivid cipher]

Probably because that is their boss’s job.

@amber atlas who would illuvithor talk to regarding IlluviDex festures?

[amber atlas]

the ideas forum is the mechanism for the community to raise ideas, the team is welcome and encouraged to chat with the community in the areas they are interested in, but requiring the team to be bombarded with ideas is not a productive use of their time, dev's don't decide on features the product team does

(like everyone else they can influence features)

[cerulean steppe]

I might have another way to implement the marketplace UI:

Let's say there are only 2 tabs: Current Trades and New Trade.

Current Trades shows the trades currently pending or transporting.

New Trade (picture) shows a Filter UI on top where I enter my intentions in regards to what I am offering and accepting.

It would automatically fill the table below with available Uplink Offers, with the ones best matching my intentions at the top.

I can either accept one or - if I don't see what I like - I can click on the Create button (shown as a kind of place holder for a new trade).

This would automatically take my filter settings (what I want and what I am offering) and use them to populate the fields in the Create/New Offer dialog.

I would then also set the Fulfill Time and Discount Percentages and then it creates a new Offer and switches to the Current Trades tab and shows it there.

This UI would reflect the flow of my intentions/actions from top to bottom and reduce the number of buttons/tabs substantially.

[vivid cipher]

[strong pumice]

Its not ideal to discuss while its in development then developer may lose the thinking only discussion will be remain.. Best time is when Beta released then you do discussion about improvements.. I took Video Game Design which taught when and where it need to be in design cycle.. there are lot of games out there follow the guidelines and made it through..

[cerulean steppe]

Oh, I would strongly disagree here. The feature should start with prototypes and pictures when development hasn't even started yet.

[strong pumice]

There will small group discussion will happen not here though

This is open forum..

[cerulean steppe]

I again have to disagree. They don't have enough team members and should utilize us for feature design and alpha testing.

[strong pumice]

If they do not have enough members to discuss then I agree they should include few selected ones to participate.. My comment meant to be limit the discussion to closed group..

[cerulean steppe]

Yes, that could also work. A focus group with DAO members and the core team.

[strong pumice]

Agreed

We are ready to be part of it.. lol

[amber atlas]

Design by committee is generally not very useful, the UX team does the UX design, and in the past they have engaged with smaller focus groups to watch their interactions, gather feedback, etc.

If you care about a certain feature, or you have a specific design that you think is useful, its best to raise it an as an idea on the forums and get others to agree. The UX and product team will check it out and determine where it fits with regards to feasibility, utility, priority, and so on.

[cerulean steppe]

I am not asking for design by committee. I am not even asking to make design decisions. I am asking for the ability to provide feedback before a feature goes into the development stage.

There is no way for me to provide feedback as an idea when I don't even know what is being developed.

Ideas is for new feature ideas, not for providing feedback for features currently under development.

[amber atlas]

I think there's a massive amount of overhead in trying to do that in any useful way.

Its much easier to gather feedback on a thing that exists, rather than a drawing or idea.

How would you even know what the flow of trade on IZ is like if you had never used it.

(and even if you are great at this, how would we know that you are a great UX designer and the other 5000 people replying are not)

Its not that it is impossible, or that it has no value, its just not necessarily that simple to get come up with a useful process.

[cerulean steppe]

Doesn't the UX team create a prototype before they send the feature to development?

These prototype are developed in special tools so they can be easily changed during discussions.

There are only a few people in this channel providing feedback, not 5.000. And they don't have to be great, just saying this sucks is enough to get the UX team to reconsider their prototype design.

[amber atlas]

There's work for the game designer to convey the feature to the UX designer before it is built. Usually it includes an initial documented design, a few meetings, some back and forth on ideas, etc. And often it still comes out wrong and has to go back to the designers.

Specifically trade screens DIDN'T go through this process as the timeline was tight. That feature was very much "Get something that works done quickly".

I can't see a good way to make this work for the community for features that don't exist yet.

For updates to existing features I think its much more workable (and we have literally done this before, for example the UX team and game designers observed selected private beta members playing Arena for the first time in special feedback sessions).

[cerulean steppe]

And to be honest: It shows.

The first version of IL:Z was almost perfect, everything was easily discoverable and I got into a flow with just a few exceptions.

The current marketplace UI does not give me that feeling.

Okay, for alpha it is good enough. But for Beta it needs to get better.

[amber atlas]

Sure if your point it the trade screen UX needs to get better there is no doubt.

Open beta will be different again as its about interacting with real users not bots (so much more focus on locations, etc).

[bitter glade]

Please remember that sometimes it is more important for us to get people to test functionality than for the UI to be final. In these situations, we make the call to cut corners so that we can deliver faster. This is one of those situations. A critique of "this one didn't look good" is fine, but we already know it and accepted that when we built it. This isn't an issue of needing outside parties to be on a design team before we begin building, and your comment shows that anyway. The first version was almost perfect, because we did not cut corners.

[cerulean steppe]

Thanks Aaron, knowing this makes me feel much better. I guess I just care so much about IL:Z, that I was afraid quality would be lowered. I will post my feedback as an idea for Beta.

https://discord.com/channels/760344898200666112/1097704046585987192

[bitter glade]

Keep in mind we also post WIPS of UI in #🚰〕leaks . We could do more of that. I think the overhead of doing that is much lower and achieves almost the same result as you suggest.

Plus it's almost always the implementation of UI that delays us, not the creation of the UI screens. So we can post them well in advance, and you guys can nerd out over them.

@violet karma Can you post more UI screens to leaks? (I feel dirty asking for leaks to be posted).
And no, I cannot post in leaks, before you ask.

[cerulean steppe]

Awesome, gives us something to spend our time on, while you guys develop and the team might just periodically read a ChatGPT summary to see what Discord is thinking and then put us back on track if we sway off way too much.

[quick crater]

G'day friends, any update on a new timeline for the reset??

[velvet hornet]

yea, would be nice to get an update on that one… feel like most people don’t play anymore and waiting for the wipe to start over again (same counts for me since a while)

[tulip perch]

the market place will be the dating simulator when we go live mark my words ......empires will be made in that thing and more

[urban birch]

anyone know where i can find info on the reset?

[fickle goblet]

Didn't follow the whole thread but just a comment on first version of IL:Z, I thought it was okay with the UI design but usability especially mouse/keyboard controls needed much work... you know things you expect to work like when you drag your mouse around it should pan the camera, simple commonplace things like clicking here, holding left click here, clicking here should trigger this popup vs that, hovering here should show me what's behind, stuff like those... not even keyboard shortcuts but if they want the game to be snappy these should be covered well

[cerulean steppe]

Agreed, but at this time I played it mostly on a Galaxy Z Fold 4 and there it felt almost perfect.

[fickle goblet]

Also I remember the pathing mode when it kept placing paths on tiles I didn't want and I realized it triggers a path (places or removes) whenever I release my mouse click too when dragging and it was a bit frustrating. Also expecting arrow keys or wasd, not hard to add. It surprises me how in popular mobile games usually when I try to guess something most of the time it works the first time, very intuitive to make it accessible to the widest range of players

Maybe they tested more on mobile

I wish we see a glimpse of more detailed tooltips and help/tutorials in the beta, crucial for hooking the most casual from the first go

[quick crater]

This is pretty much me... I played up until they delayed the wipe but not since then.

[weary bluff]

apparently 2 months and 1 day ago i reached lvl 1000 on t1, its been quite a while and still nothing happens

The Agile Change Method

[vagrant heron]

Since yesterday the game crashes when I select my land plot to start it. Haven’t really done anything different. Any support?
When I select the F2P plot, it works fine, haven’t done anything at all on that plot though. My own plot is on level 1180

[vestal fable]

Can we find more than 5 biodata with scanner lvl 1?

[bleak escarp]

Does the efficiency rating of an inverter/collider/lathe affect the passive collection time for gathering it's fuel type? Also, do paths affect this as well?

[opal thistle]

In this Alpha season 0 there are only 5 illuvial biodata you can find with your scanner

[opal thistle]

?zero-path

[lethal wyvern]

How do paths affect my land in Illuvium Zero?

In Illuvium Zero, paths are an important aspect of your land optimization. When placed next to buildings, paths can increase the speed of activities such as construction, extraction, conversion, and scanning. It is important to note that the connectivity of paths is not a factor in their effectiveness - a completely surrounded building is the most optimal setup for maximum efficiency.

Community Made Infographic

[bleak escarp]

Thank you - what about efficiency rating affecting amount of passive time?

[opal thistle]

efficiency rating will affect the gathered amount, but the paths are the one that reduce passive collecting time

[timber glacier]

Paths don't affect passive collection times. With or without them it's always 24h or 48h for fuel converters (depending on level). I've checked this over the last few days and the same converter triggers it's passive collection at the exact same time every day regardless of paths.
Efficiency however, does affect the amount you get per collection.

[bleak escarp]

good to know - thanks. I was curious because I had an Anti-Solon Inverter I with a path around it and set my alarm for 48 hrs. It took closer to 50 hours for it to populate.

[bleak escarp]

thank you!

[opal thistle]

Good to know 👍

[chilly wren]

hey guys, i need help choosing t1 land, how do you know what to pick

[tardy falcon]

Try to get balanced elements (1,1,1) and crypton fuel. Crypton will allow for leveling up nexus faster instead of needing to convert.

[timber glacier]

Depends what your plan is to do with it. If you're planning to scan a lot and make blueprints, I'd look for a plot with lots of open space (resource nodes close together, or close to the edges).
If you're going for fuel production the layout matters less.
Resource and fuel types are most relevant early-game and become less important later on when you have access to the marketplace and converters. but as MegaDaddyGX said, a balanced plot is easier to start with. And having a crypton mine saves you a day not having to convert fuel to progress with your Nexus upgrade. Once you're past that you will have to convert for the other buildings, so it's not required to have, just convenient for the first few days.

How long is the alpha testing for Illuvium: Zero expected to last?

The alpha testing for Illuvium: Zero is expected to be split into two seasons.

We are currently in Season 0. At the end of this season, all data, including blueprints, will be wiped and reset. The purpose of Season 0 is to allow the development team to fix bugs and balance issues and to prevent any issues that may arise if player data needs to be reset before moving on to Season 1.

After Season 0, the game will move on to Season 1, which will last until the open beta stage. Another data reset is expected at the end of Season 1. However, players will be able to mint the blueprints they researched as NFTs during the last few months of Season 1. Those minted NFTs will persist beyond the Alpha data reset and can be used to craft skins in the Overworld once we reach the Open Beta.

More information on the minting windows will be provided as the game approaches the open beta stage.

[topaz kite]

neone know how to check if an account is synced with your wallet? My wallet works for my account on illuvitars, but it wont sync on Zero because it says 'my wallet is already synced with another account'... still havent been able to figure this out and play and its been a few weeks 😦

for reference, been trying to use the same gmail account and everything for both.

[vivid cipher]

So probably what happened is you accidentally created a second account using the same email address. It was a database bug thing the team missed and has been working on fixing.

Hopefully you used the support site that was mentioned the first time you wanted help with this. So the team has your account logged. #814313779696238642 message

same has happened to me, ill open a ticket/post in there

How to report a Bug?

Illuvium: Zero does not have an in-game reporting system

If you encounter any issues while playing Illuvium: Zero, we encourage you to submit a request through our online support portal: http://link.illuvium.io/bug. This is the best way to report bugs, as it allows us to track and address issues more efficiently.

[hasty wagon]

how's everyone going with ILZ? we can't really bring anything in what we have now to Season 1 right?

so kind of no point in grinding ILZ right now correct?

[vivid cipher]

Yeah it’s just for testing and practice at this point.

[ripe island]

paps heres some update for IZ

[ionic wharf]

Hi , how many storage facilities do you guys have for carbon, silicon and hydrogen at nexus level 7? I feel like you would need 8 of each, is that correct?

And also I have been scanning with singularity scanner every day and for two weeks I haven't found anything, only Archie and that's it.

[empty path]

On my T4 plot I had 1 of each but since everything is max level now I just added 1 more

[ionic wharf]

I can't upgrade singularity scanner to level 3 without 8m hydrogen if I remember correctly, at this level . One max storage can store only 1 m, that's why I'm guessing you need 8.

[tulip perch]

wait did an IZ update happen may land is zooming on PC at least partialy

not all the way yet

[timber glacier]

I only used 2-3 for each, maybe 4 for hydrogen to be able to build more scanners (higher levels does nothing in the current version, so I went for more of them instead)

[rotund forum]

it sends things, so I think you require one for the marketplace

[topaz kite]

I believe I had sent an email from the support link on the site. Guess I was hoping it was fixed by now

[hot haven]

I am actually searching for an answer as well

[radiant sky]

This might help to understand the ZPT

So it's basically a building to Cut down in your traveltime. Maybe it has oder functions too, but i guess that is it so far.

[wise widget]

I've got 6 storage for each element at level 8, they hold 2m each so, the Max I can hold is 12m. If you need 8m then 4 at level 8 would get you there

[wise widget]

Is there any benefits to having the singularity scanner at level 3?

[timber glacier]

Not until Tier 3 Illuvials are put into the game, no

[timber glacier]

Depends what you're building. Higher stage converters or science buildings usually drain a lot of resources.

[ivory fjord]

Hey guys I love the lands I got. Like a lot. Altogether if I were to sell now I can get decent amount of $ILV

It feels like $ILV would definitely be a better play instead? Given ILV will hit ATH in likely 2nd nxt bull run thats easy 30X.

Do you guys see the lands doing 30X in price? I do wanna keep my land. But with more land sales coming and all.. each time we will see drop on their price given more land available. So any reason we should hold land over the $ILV tokens?

[strange ridge]

Im just scratching the surface of Illuvium, so i dont know much yet, but i think you shouldn't look at land just as a sellable asset, your land will produce fuel and resources you can sell. To compare a possible increase of ILV in 30x next bull run (far from safe...) with a land you should calculate the "present value" of all the resources you will produce and sell, and i dont think we currently have enough info about fuel prices to do that

[ivory fjord]

I see the land being a very active investment where else for $ILV, buy,stake n forget abt it. Passive

I see the potential for lands believe me, but there r possibly 4 land sales that will happen eventually each time diluting the supply n decreasing how much you earn from them in half each time.

[fair temple]

I would be a little less hopeful for a 30x. It's difficult to get back to ATH since the amount of tokens in circulation will be like 15x of what was circulating back then. I think the circulating supply was roughly 600K at some point since everyone was locking their tokens up to get the staking rewards. During the next bullrun, I expect the stakeholders to have their tokens unlocked and thereby not have such a huge spike in value like last time.

[strange ridge]

i understand your point and i dont know which approach is better..i just dont think we have all the data we should have to compare things. The only thing i know is that land are the only asset in this game that we know the maximum number os unit that will ever exist, all the rest is a little bit numb for me at this point.

and i saw lot of people talking about Megacities (minnimum 2x2), so let say they sell all the 100k lands..you will have way less 100k people owning them because a lot of people will own and sell at least 4 plots as 1

its scarce enough to sell for big value when a bull run hits

Regarding production, for example in Sorare (thats the game i know better), usually if you invest like 1.000eur (1 team) you can recover that investment in 1 year or so just with thresholds (eth payments for hitting 250 points). In here im assuming owning a land will give a good return aswell besides the variation of the asset itself

[ivory fjord]

1. Definitely need to take an account the circulating supply, how much is the circulating supply right now?
2. $ILV got to its ATH without any actual gameplay, Im thinking about the bull run after the next, not even the immediate 1, reason being it will take time for the game to release to public and gain a user base, you believe even with those going back to ATH is less likely? I would love to know the circulating supply now, maybe that will help me understand this better

[ivory fjord]

Lots of great points here, how I see the lands in circulating now.

There r 20K lands and they will lets say earn X amount at its peak (like all the lands owned by everyone maxed out),

So on 2nd landsale overnight we have 20K more lands, within a month they can be maxed, now that X amount earnt by everyone with the initial 20K is pretty much halved. So lets say if you were earning 1K, within 1 month its gonna be down to $500.

N this repeats for 3 more times to get to that 100K land

[fair temple]

maxed within a month imo is a bit optimistic. But if people spend on it and support with other lands I think it could happen yeah.

[strange ridge]

True, but thats a short term view. If this game really have success as many of us believe, 100k lands are scarce AF. All of us will want to have at least 2 lands, some will have 4 or more (like the guy buying 50!!). You just need 30.000 normal players and 10 degens to have prices skyrocketing like crazy (long term)

[ivory fjord]

Well I love playing the game, but not everyone here would be that type of player/user of this eco-system (bought into the project, just for the gameplay, dont care abt profits)

Life happens n other things needs to get priortized. That would mean not having the active participation it requires to get the most of these lands. I got nothing but respect for ppl that bought the lands for the gameplay aspect of it. I would have loved to be one of that, but thats not the reality for me. So Im not missing that part.

[ivory fjord]

Ya the P2E aspect of it will be huge, I do see any of major landsales helping to get more eyes on the token and driving the price as well. Great thing abt the land is its tied to whole series of games that may come later. But any success the project has would be directly tied to the token as well. So lot to consider for sure. thanks for the feedbacks

[strange ridge]

and at the end of the day ILV is more liquid...thats a huge thing to have in consideration

[ivory fjord]

Ya I bought the lands super excited to play n all, but just took on a second position to feed my Crypto n NFT addictions lol. So need to change some of my strategies to set it n forget it, so the token starting to look more n more my play for now. Appreciate you all talking through this with me

Yee that was the initial plan coming into this, use the resource from IZ to play Overworld. But potential wise, $ILV seems like the safer play for now. N given I most likely wont have much time to play anymore, switching over to $ILV might be the right play for me.

[fair temple]

And you can still use the revdis from ILV to buy in-game resources as well. It plays out the same way, except that for Land you'd have to play a game.

I think playing the game can give you more of a complete feeling within the project, while ILV can sustain you equally well if not better, but keeps you a step back and away from feeling inside of the ecosystem.

[ivory fjord]

Yaa makes sense. How do you guys feel abt the overworld? I get lonely in there. Games like Elden ring or any of the openworld get things moving so I get spoiled

[inner dune]

Hello Everyone,
I am new here, and wanted to check if anyone know when are we expecting new build for Illuvium Zero?
Any list of improvements / fixes targeted in next one?
I mean full screen on desktop, zooming out to view all buildings in single view, opting in/ out for auto zoomi n to the building in center while starting activity (someone may need to keep current view set intentionally and may not want to zoom away) etc..

[ivory fjord]

The Pinned on this channel got all the latest info, that would be the place to start

[fair temple]

first version of the Overworld will be like a museum where you just look at the incredible scenery. You will have little to do other than find resources. Animals are lacking currently, but they are introducing some bugs (morphopods) in the next patch.
later versions will become livelier and have more things to do, eventually giving you a DokeV or monster-hunter kinda vibe.

[ivory fjord]

Yass I need moving things to shoot at lol

[fair temple]

will take a while with the way the Overworld is laid out. Having the Illuvials roam around is a pain in the ass, pathing-technically wise. #🎮〕illuvium-overworld

[inner dune]

Still very much interested in getting approved for beta and explore overworld, as of now just purchased a land in Illuvium Zero and exploring Zero only.

[fair temple]

check out how to get in if you read back in #814313779696238642 Also, you should be able to get in since you own a land if you do some verification with collabland and then join a certain channel orso. But the first way may be the easiest.

[ivory fjord]

Ya I heard anything that would end up becoming an NFT would be hard. But maybe the moving ones in the wild can be for resource gathering things, similar to things u get from mining n all

[fair temple]

Well the plants will become interactive and they won't move so that would be a lot easier. It will be like a first version of fighting in the overworld. balancing and UI-changes will happen soon after I imagine.
But they'll need to add some fighting-mechanics to the Plants first. Idk if that will happen for the open Beta. I imagine it will, since they have shown animations for fighting plants over 6 months ago. (some stinky plant shooting blobs of acid at you)

[inner dune]

Does anyone experience any progress loss in Illuvium Zero after exiting the desktop version?

[fair temple]

I think you need to leave it open for a bit after upgrading some buildings so that it auto saves after X time.

[inner dune]

Thanks Garf!

I think I did same, since then I added one more step to switch between lands and login out before closing every time and not lost progress recently after that

[fair temple]

for this, IMX is the limiting factor. You will have to ask IMX when they add an Offer function to unlisted NFTs 🙂

[inner dune]

That's possible.
Right now what I am doing - Navigate to Home > Switch Land > play sometime on other land > Navigate to Home> Logout

[coral canopy]

any idea wen alpha s0?

[true sequoia]

Raoul Pal was talking about how NFTS (and you could think of land as this) should do better than the underlying security (eg eth or ILV)...not sure, but makes some sense the way he explains it. You will have people with profit in a bull market looking to spend crypto and that could lead to land and blueprint prices (etc.) jumping. ILV will have to dilute most likely to keep the runway in good shape (ie this is sell some shares or options to VC), so perhaps, land will end up being better than ILV...but you can have both, and as with Illuvitars get rewarded with ILV for hitting certain levels.

[hoary forge]

We are in season 0. Still no date for season 1 should be soon.

[lyric hamlet]

Joke

[past kindle]

Just throwing this tidbit out there after I seen a morphopod vid on Twitter... What if Illuvium Zero in some way could control the spawn of Illuvials in some regards... Nothing really financial, but people create breeding factories, and this would increase the pct of rarity chance say like Rhamphyre is at 0.0001 and everyone together as a community started breeding Rhamphyres, it would jack that up a bit? just a thought off the top of my head, very debatable idea, maybe just by bad luck, a certain illuvial isnt producing well... give it a boost... nevermind, people confused with actual breeding like minting NFT's, not what is meant. so scrap this

[past kindle]

actually its so open, i think it would be easier... pathing lines get painted in and have no real chokepoints, dont have to cheat pathing outlines to fit things in certain areas,

[subtle shell]

Hello eveyone
I have quite a noob question. How exactly do I get the upgrades? Do I have to re-download ILZ every time a new upgrade comes out or does the upgrade load automatically when you start ILZ?

[fair temple]

You need to re-download the game every time there is a new patch done

[subtle shell]

Oh my...

But thx anyway

[granite tartan]

ILV could be admitted as a security by CEX with upcoming regulations, lands shouldn't be admitted as a security.

I guess that is a reason why ILV is not going to be integrated in game, it's role is more like security than commodity, but new fuel tokens are going to be a commodity produced by the lend owner, something similar to Bitcoin mining.

Lands are something more similar to miners, becauce you will have to spend your time to produce the additional value as fuel and use it in game or sell, but not just buy something like ILV token, stake it and get the passive revenue, as securities usually work.

I think that lands will have not a less potential than token, i don't think the team is going to sell more lands before they start being too expansive for the new gamers to come to the game.

Also most lands are accumulated on 10-20 addresses so i guess some land price manipulation will take place at the next hype wave to this game.

This is also indirectly confirmed that lands price it not falling, some one is buying holding the "wall". The same thing as i saw at the land sale a year ago. When each tear land reached the specific price, they all were bought by bots.

I guess all land holders are passengers of a rocket that is not going to launch soon, but when it will launch, the small number of passengers that will remain on board, will be rewarded.

[tall crypt]

ILV vs Lands?
The lands without a doubt. From your comments I don't see you as too much of an expert. You must have invested in lands and ILV and also sold them to be able to comment with perspective, from FOMO to FUD. There are things I have heard that are not correct, such as the new land placements will be 20000, they will probably be smaller 5000 for example.
In 2 or 3 years there will be 9 million ILV if the price comes down to $15 it will be about $135 million, I don't think it will go back up to $100.
I think T1 lands will stay between $450-700 for a long time.
I see a big problem and that is that the buyers of the first lands paid an overprice and we will get a very low price for the sale of fuel, we could really win with the blueprints. Given the low return they will give, there will not be a great demand. The demand will be in the plans to fight in ARENA and provide fuel in OVERWORLD.
I don't like how Illuvium is managed at all. Currently, I am focusing it towards the economic failure of the game: ILV token will have a bad development [recommend not to buy]. I have withdrawn the $18,000 stake, converted into $5,000, I have assumed that it will not recover; as for the lands, I curse the day I bought them, I was stupid, that's why I'm selling them little by little, despite everything I think that with the final release of illuvium Zero they will double [I recommend not selling].
There is no doubt that the game will be a success but financially for the user and investor it will be a failure.

[tall crypt]

That said Scoriox in a Youtube, I think will arrive before summer.

[fair temple]

I also recommend others to hodl land, so that the amount of lands on the market are lower and I can sell mine for more. 🧠

[tall crypt]

Be strong, don't sell now. Illuvium Zero will be coming out soon, the first blueprints that come out will be very well priced and easy to mine. Then it will cost more.
The sale price of the land plus the sale price of the blueprint will be more than double what the land costs now.
I have reduced the land portfolio from 53 to 38. Now I no longer sell below $700.
Be strong, don't sell them.

[hollow shoal]

Good morning Rareblocks! Working on anything?

[tall crypt]

I selled and reduced land from 21th febrery at 730-800$, 2 megacities(35000$), but now stop, because prices of lands falled. You understand? It's simple: no buy, wait for sell.

[little moon]

is buying 2 tier 1 is better than buy 1 tier 2?

[little moon]

just researching how illuvium land works hahahah

[rotund forum]

You sir… haven’t got a clue. If the game is successful then obviously the token will be successful as it receives revdis.

[hollow shoal]

Everyday. It’s only going to get more advanced with age too.

[little moon]

what do you think best buy land?

Like 2 tier 1 or 1 tier 2?

[hollow shoal]

Depends on your strategy. I think if you are going after blueprints then tier 1. If you want fuel probably tier 2.

[hollow stratus]

i want T2

[hollow shoal]

But you can always customize the land to work for you.

[hollow stratus]

but yeah depends on your strat

[little moon]

what do you mean blueprint? does tier 2 doesn't have blueprint building?

[hollow shoal]

They all can get blueprints. Some people will create tier 1s to be scan heavy because of the lower resources produced. Some people will make a tier 2 resource heavy because of the 33% increase in fuel production and the 3 total fuel sites compared to one fuel site on a tier one. It’s easier to scan more on a tier one compared to a tier two.

[little moon]

I don't understand all mechanics so still reading and watching youtube to understand the gameplay

[hollow shoal]

Just ask in here if you have questions. Do you have any land now or still trying to see what you might like best?

[little moon]

still looking for what land should I buy best

right now the land for tier 1 is just around 0.2 eth ish, the tier 2 playing around 0.7 ish

thinking also the market today if I can get it more good deal as it still bear market and halving is coming

[hollow shoal]

It’s hard to say overall. Only 100,000 lands will be sold total. 20,000 are currently out. I’d say if you believe in the project then buy now and you’ll see some good returns regardless. Always remember though that the game is being built for fun not profit. Granted it will most likely gain a very large profit over time.

Also know that when season 1 starts whatever blueprints you obtain you’ll be able to mint and keep or sell later on.

[little moon]

yeah I understand that, but land cost money so even its for fun, the money psychology is different when you put game with money aspect hahaha, thats why I want to access the beta to assist, should I buy now or later hahahah

but yeah its good point

[hollow shoal]

I bought hella lands and eventually when I get rid of debt will probably do a land a month. I want to just increase the over portfolio. When renting or lending becomes available then others can work the land and I’ll still earn something.

[warm grove]

gm

whats the current state of illuvium zero?

wen does real farming start?

[random siren]

only date we have is SO/ON

[tired pumice]

Gm. We're still in s0. In S1 you can mint blueprint, but real farming will be available once the game launch.

[amber atlas]

Hey folks, sorry my Illuvium Beyond addiction has kept me away from here, curious to know how the latest build is going. Any new bugs or major issues?

===================================================
Some high-level news, I am finalising feature set for Open Beta, I don't think there are any real surprises, the main changes between Alpha and Open Beta at this stage:

- Megacities

• Update path system to be about connecting buildings rather than just surrounding them
• Power Station Changes (Support upgrades, reduce effectiveness of multiple stations)
• View other peoples plots
• Mint blueprints at any time
• Multiple Builders
• IAP (for Builders, Speed-ups)
  - Free to play
• Keep structures data when trading (minus 'Data' like BioData/Blueprints)
• Marketplace is real trades with real people
  - Exchange Fuel for ETH 🙂
  ===================================================

Of course there will be balance tweaks, bug fixes, and probably a few other things (tutorials, better goals, etc) also. But I think the list has the main ones.

(I keep updating the list as I can decide where to draw the line at what is a 'main' change)

[twin atlas]

GM Johnny 🙂

Is the above for season 1?

[radiant sky]

What's IAP?

And is this a megacities at open beta confirmed kind of thing?

And are ALL these features gona be tested in alpha? Or are there some out in the blue shots at open Beta launch?

[twin atlas]

Opea beta is Q4 right?

[amber atlas]

in-app purchases - buy builder/speed-ups

[radiant sky]

Hopefully... Many things can happen in 6 months

[amber atlas]

Megacities have always ben planned for Open Beta, if they weren't going to make it for some reason I would push for an IIP (delay vs no megacities in first release)

[radiant sky]

Just to purchsse, or are there ways to get them or some of them with ingame achievements?

[amber atlas]

none of these features will be in Alpha (possibly if something is easy to move it will be, something like view others plots for example... but none are planned for Alpha)

[twin atlas]

Exchange Fuel for ETH - How will this work?

[radiant sky]

I meant i heared Aaron say megacities were always be planned as an addon later on, but i'm prolly to stony to remember right 😂

[radiant sky]

Isn't that pretty risky, since Power Station Change for example can mess with the whole balance?

[amber atlas]

Aaron being cautious, but they have always been planned to be released at Open Beta, nothing is guranteed... and I doubyt you guys would vote to hold up the Open Betaif they weren't ready... but the plan is for them to be ready

[amber atlas]

they will be done in a way that the overall maxes stay the same, there's some risk, but no more than the fact that the ability to generate ETH will probably change how people play quite a bit

[radiant sky]

Looks Like you guys Made awesome Progress.
You holding back devblog to hide all the amazing Progress you Made during the last two month, so you guys don't have to Deal with overly ambitious date predictions of the community? 😜

[amber atlas]

this is not a statement about progress its a statement of intent

the only thing that is 'done' is a list of features that we are agreed on

[radiant sky]

Isn't a statement of intent going Hand in Hand with the progress you made in the past 🙃

[fair temple]

Balancer pool with Eth and respective fuel. Still unsure whether guide rails are necessary or we will see full on free market.

Plan now is to have X value for fuel +-25% guide rails where the DAO adds fuel whenever price of fuel reaches +25% and burns when it reaches -25% to keep it steady.
Otherwise the DAO is supposed to produce 19x what the lands produce which is done by minting that amount extra when Lands put Fuel on the blockchain. [When land holders move fuel they pull it through the pool initially and thats what the DAO checks orso]

[iron laurel]

I am so happy to hear megacities are planned for open Beta. Aaron had me nervous.😬

[left musk]

What about the scooler System?

[fair temple]

With Megacities and Scanners, will there be edges around the 4 plots individually so that scanner efficiency at the edge of your plot isnt nerfed? Otherwise it may be better to keep low tier lands out of megacities if you want to research.

Off to bed now but thanks in advance!

[random siren]

From a balancer pool

[muted tree]

Will zoom out feature be in alpha s1?

[amber atlas]

better to address minor feature questions to Julien

obviously you can already zoom in and out, but not sure when increased zoom out levels are meant to land

[little moon]

waking up and seeing mega cities OB. massive news. cheers @twin atlas for posting the IZ news on twitter.

[rotund forum]

pfff I think basically everyone will vote no megacities in first release... How many megacities are there currently? Maybe 10 or 20... and so many more waiting to play open beta

[empty path]

I wouldn't be so sure about that

[radiant sky]

I guess there are Way more then 10 or 20.
Nonetheless i also think most will not vote to wait.
I hope many can See the bigger picture, and megacities are a very small advantage with known features.
Also people with megacities, put their money into megacities, which mean they could invest less in voting power 🙃

[rotund forum]

I think it is just 1 bigger map of 50 x 50 or 75 x 75 squares. More place to place your scanners but not in the middle of the map where normally the limit of a 25 x 25 would be

[little moon]

just catching up. is there a vote coming to release megas in the first beta now?

[fair temple]

Íf megacities arent finished before open beta, that vote will probably happen in late Q3 early Q4.

[little moon]

oh got it. thats fair

hope never gets to that though

[fair temple]

Yeah having every feature be ready according to the roadmap would be perfect :p

[molten kite]

Can a mega city be 2 land masses? if not why not?

[muted tree]

Do we still plan to build scholar (or rental) system? Not in the change list of Open Beta.

[fair temple]

it has to be 4 or 9 lands in a square for now.

[radiant sky]

Afaik illuvium doesn't intend to build a rental System?
I heared polemos is working on something Like that, but not illuvium

[muted tree]

Yeah, Polemos got a scholar system.
But in a land sale AMA that Kieran (or Johnny? I can't remember exactly) mentioned illuvium will build rental system for Zero, not sure if the plan is still on.

[molten kite]

being late to the party, buying adjacent land was not in the cards. Now I do own land bordering no man's land, so in the future hopefully the auction the land next to me, but nothing is certain. hopefully megacities are not OP, of Couse it feel more like being on the outside looking in at this point.

[blissful storm]

What about reset? Weren’t you guys about to discuss it this week? What’s the outcome?

[timber sapphire]

Soon

[little moon]

is after the beta all accumulated resource on zero will be reset?

[hoary forge]

after season zero it all will get wiped and before the open beta. only blueprints you can keep if you mint them in the minting time.

[oak solstice]

@empty path

[mortal smelt]

focusing a little too hard on that center line

[oak solstice]

Lol when i got him he had a really bad eye infection so middle part of his eye is a blind spot that he looks around

[frail skiff]

Hi Team, I have a debate on YouTube.
A YouTuber claim that Holgraphic statue improve the chances of finding Illuvials that match the same affinity (I think he want to speak about the affinity of the land).
But I answered and by experience I saw that anyway we can find (at least for now on alpha version ) only Illuvials who match with affinity of the land right?

For example on all Hacyon Sea lands I found only Atlas

Ti-Ru on Crimson Waste, ...

Do you agree ? if not , can you show me a exemple (like an Illuvial found on a Land and doesn't match the affinity)

And other question:
2) Do you agree that on the Alpha version we can find only one Illivial by land ( Tier1 one)?

[empty path]

The youtuber is correct

[frail skiff]

Can you show me?

[empty path]

You can find them all

[tardy falcon]

It is possible to find all 5 biodata and 15 BPs on a single land currently... This is from a Crimson Waste land

[frail skiff]

show me on BioData section

[frail skiff]

Ah ok , and you think Holographic statue improves the chance?

[empty path]

It does

[frail skiff]

it's what land and what Tier for Information?

[tardy falcon]

This is a t4 Crimson Waste... 7 scanners 5 mat lab

[frail skiff]

ok Thanks for information

[tardy falcon]

Took about 2-3 weeks to get all biodata

[frail skiff]

Thanks you 2 👌

[frail skiff]

I made a lot of scans found a lot of Blueprint but only one Illivial by land

🤷🏻‍♂️

and everytime the one who match the land

[tardy falcon]

Definitely takes a lot of scans. The more scanners the better. I have 3 holo statues. Also add Databank.

[frail skiff]

Anyway, I swear, when the final version will be released , we'll be more than ready 😁💪

So to show what I told:

This one on Shardbluff Layrinth F2P one

Abyssal Basin

And for these 2:

I have :

This one , same for both

I had 2 scanner by land but as I didn't found anything after found the first one , I kept only one by land

But still, Imake was trying 2 scans by day and now 1 by day since a long time it's very curious , I'll build again scans

And about Holographic Statue , same as scanners , it's useless to upgrade?

[elfin monolith]

I'm building up some structures on my plot and wondering if there was any documentation for how to best build out your land for greater efficiency and where to place structures.

Also, what does building out paths do?

[copper inlet]

also this website has nice breakdown of all buildings:
illuvitect .com/database

[elfin monolith]

very cool, thank you!

[tardy falcon]

Odds significantly improve with more scanners. 7/8 scans a day = 49-56/wk vs 1-2 scans/day = 7-14/wk. I try and keep scanners at 80% efficiency n up.

I'm not sure about upgrading holo stat... maybe it's for s2/s3 illuvial display?

[elfin monolith]

daaaam, that looks like a nice piece of land!

[river ingot]

I took a break from following Zero. Is the season where we get to keep bio data still postponed?

[little moon]

So do we have any idea how long till Season 1?

I know itll be fairly soon but are we looking at 1 week or 1 month?

[frail skiff]

thanks for advice , I prepared and check I can put 3 scanners 100% after, I'll see for the others 👌

[wise widget]

Two T1 plots, one in shardbluff with all biodata & blueprints, which I had 3 scanners running at 100% and only 2 scanners at 100% on my taiga plot.

[tall crypt]

Congratulations.

[thin wolf]

Completely forgot about this one

Wen Season 1?

[tall crypt]

One day I said 21th june, then admin of discord baned to me. May be in may mounth.

[blissful storm]

You got banned for saying “21st of June”?

[radiant sky]

Oh oh... You said it too

[empty path]

He got a 6h mute for spreading false dates after multiple warnings

[slim wigeon]

Fadiwhale not giving up haha

[rotund forum]

I think eventually there will be a lot more, but with these 20K plots... well... one could look one by one the owners, I don´t think currently there is an easier way to check. But for the time being there will only be these plots and buying on secondary market is expensive, no silv2 can be used, so I seriously doubt there will be many more. But let´s say 98% of people will not have megacities on day 1, so he vote is clear.

[radiant sky]

I guess johnny thought; "if god can create a useless little toe, whichs only purpose is to bump it into tables, chairs, corners... I can create a popup to annoy them all"

[rotund forum]

The click it for it to go, could go, I think we all agree on that.

[empty path]

I payed a lot of money for this mouse, I want to use it

[timber glacier]

Also, levels still don't have any real purpose, right?

[tired pumice]

For now no. It just shows your exp.

[wicked horizon]

any updates on timeline, would like to have something to play for once again

[spring void]

I'm hopeful that in the weekly update notes that are usually shared tomorrow will announce a release date

[low quiver]

Think he mentioned there would be a v0.1.6 before season one and we havnt heard anything about that so im assuming we still arnt very close but yah hopefully we get sort of date this week

[blissful storm]

It was raised like 2 months ago already. The level up could a message on the top corner that fades away rather that a pop up. It's very annoying

[blissful storm]

"We should have a date for both in the coming days!" - This was 7 days ago 🙈

[humble lichen]

Wen season 1 dear sirs

[empty path]

There should be a date soon

[vestal spear]

I bought a cheap mouse and I dont want to wear it out!

[fiery scaffold]

So when you find a blue print, what's next?

I just found my first one

[tired pumice]

In S1, there will be chance to mint them.

[fiery scaffold]

Okay so for now it's just a test?

[tired pumice]

yessir

Zero is fun. ☺️

[opal thistle]

I second that

[lavish creek]

Yes, fun and enjoyable. What got you interested in IZ?

[next pebble]

hey everyone, does anyone know if upgrading the Singularity Scanner improve the odds of finding a Tier1 Illuvial?

[devout panther]

Hi everyone ! With a basic land tier1 how Much can i earn daily ?

[spring void]

Right now $0. Season 1 wr will be able to mint blueprints once the minting window starts and then full release Q4 and nobody knows the price at this point of fuel landowners would sell

[devout panther]

ah ok thanks a lot !

[tired pumice]

I dont think so. If you upgrade the Scanner, it will attract higher tier of Illuvials though.

[next pebble]

ok thanks!

[cerulean kettle]

Anyone update on when zero Alpha session one is going to start? I know everyone is asking, so apologize in advance.

[hollow shoal]

Always check pinned messages. Otherwise we have been getting a weekly update every Monday. So tomorrow we should see something. Maybe even a date or at least some good information.

Why can't we have the graphics of zero more like this ? Don't you think the zero graphics look really outdated ?

[subtle shell]

Honestly, I think the team should focus on something other than reworking the entire graphics now just because you (and maybe a few others too) find the current graphics outdated.

No offense meant, just practical thinking

[lyric lodge]

But I just wonder why they chose that graphic type ?

In a few years it will look very very outdated

[gloomy quarry]

Not really, cartoonish graphics tend to age better than realistic ones.

[lyric lodge]

How so ?

[gloomy quarry]

Cause it's just how it is. The cartoonish graphics is almost like art, better longevity. While the realistic graphics are out of date the moment a better engine exists.

Its also the style (cartoonish) Blizzard is using for games such as Diablo 3, WoW etc.

[nova epoch]

Wen weekly pinned

[hushed nebula]

can i ask... if we can mint the blueprint now? or it will be wipe out as soon as season 1 starts..

we still waiting for a Season 1, so wipe first, then blueprints

Illuvium Zero Tech Update [04/17 - 04/21]

Hey everyone, here we go for a progress update on IZ!

• we are shipping 0.1.6 with a hotfix right before season 1, but as previously announced, this is mostly to setup everything for the start of season 1. You should see no major change in this new version, it's all security related and the tooling necessary to switch to v0.2.x!
• this version is currently going through our QA process, everything is looking fine, so I'm expecting a release next week!
• expect a week for season 1 start as soon as 0.1.6 drops. We'll be announcing all of this on socials of course. As a reminder, this is how it will go on the launch date:

• Zero will go into a downtime. We expect it to take about 1 hour, during which you will not be able to play.
• On the backend side, we are resetting all of the plots and goals. The end result should look like a general reset for you.
• Once the data wipe is finished, you'll all be informed of a new version to download. If you don't update, an in game popup will prevent you from playing and invite you to update.
• This will all be communicated in advance so that no one is surprised.

• blueprint minting is in heavy development on the client side, we want this to be ready in advance for the minting window
• meanwhile, beta work is very much underway with some awesome advancements:
  => we've managed to reduce game size by a factor of 10. Yes, 10x. 160MB rather than 1.6GB. This will grow with the new assets for the features that Johnny listed of course, but we're making sure that it doesn't come at the cost of space, loading times and overall performance (for you nerds out there, we've massively optimized VRAM usage)
  => we're bringing back webgl with some neat unannounced feature ideas and the possibility to play on Apple devices!
  => the team is growing, with a new game designer joining us soon!

Short update this week, we're deep in code at the moment, waiting for 0.1.6 to pass QA greenlight. Thanks everyone for the feedback and patience during season 0. We want things to move faster now, so expect more tech updates, leaks and all that good stuff 🙂

[severe sparrow]

Apple devices is exciting!

Not sure what ‘possibility’ means in terms of its chance of coming to pass

Season 1 inching closer now 🤜🏻

Light at the end of the tunnel

[blissful storm]

If understood correctly we are to expect v0.2.x second week of May?

[spring mist]

we're limited by App Store policies unfortunately, and we can't loosely release an iOS executable like we do for Android, but at the same time, building for webgl and having it work great on mobile is a challenge in itself. I've been personally doing a lot of tests last week to make sure that even old iphones and ipads can run the webgl version, with the vision being that webgl has 100% of the heavy clients feature set!

[spring mist]

that's the plan!

just teasing, but webgl isn't only for iOS devices, we have some mighty ideas like permalinks to share your plot to your friends or clan members 😌

[empty path]

Wait are you saying web version will be ready for alpha season?

[spring mist]

oh no sorry, only beta, alpha requires a lot of breaking work to get it working on the web 😦

[tired pumice]

that'd be a cool thing to see

[severe sparrow]

Thanks man ❤️

[inner cape]

I haven't really kept up with IZ, but from the last pin it sounds like you can't play on iPhone? is that true? I was thinking about grabbing a plot, but not if I can't play 😂

[hoary forge]

Not for now. But it's planed for a later update via WebGL

[zinc cloak]

That size reduction is massive... has their been a fix for the memory consumption it once had?

Really like the apple possibility, hoping that goes through.

[spring mist]

Yes, this also has a huge impact on memory consumption!

[hollow shoal]

Thank you guys for all the continuous hard work, updates, and overall awesomeness. Zero will play a huge role in the ecosystem.

[lost drift]

On Season One, we will be able to mint level 1 blueprints only right? So no need to upgrade blueprint related structures

[random siren]

correct

[lost drift]

Ok, and I can only create a blueprint using a materials lab, through a biodata that I already got from a scanner right?

[vagrant heron]

Will it have reduced RAM consumption? I have played the first versions quite well on an old low spec android tablet, since the latest 0.1.5 version it keeps getting kicked out of the ram right away and starting the game is problematic. I have assumed the memory consumption went up with the latest patch

[true sequoia]

overworld is what needs to reduce ram consumption...zero runs smooth

[vagrant dagger]

It’s probably been asked before, but will IZ be available on mobile for season one??

[hoary forge]

It is already. But only android.

[tired pumice]

Yes you can research biodata in Materials Lab to get facts or blueprints.

[severe sparrow]

Is this on an iPhone but not via Apple Store? If it’s webgl- sorry I’m not technical so don’t understand the implications

But just trying to figure out whether it still needs a change to apple’s policy or not

[hoary forge]

Iphone on WebGL coming with a later update.

[lost drift]

Ok, is it possible to store multiple units of the same blueprint?

[tired pumice]

Dont think so. Besides, there's no point having same blueprints.

[lost drift]

I mean, wont they be tradable in the future?

[severe sparrow]

So via browser on a phone?

[tired pumice]

you use blueprints to mint NFTs

[severe sparrow]

Not via App Store

[lost drift]

Ah, ok, can facts also be used to mint NFTs?

[tired pumice]

no

[hoary forge]

Not for now because of the apple nft police.
It will come later via browser. WebGL

[lost drift]

Ok, thanks

[tired pumice]

i think they are just trivias. but you're welcome 🙂

[lost drift]

Is there any other structure that will help the creation of blueprints other than the scanner, the materials lab and the power plant?

[tired pumice]

data bank as storage

[lost drift]

Ok, so if I dont use the databank the storage will run out of space at some point right?

[tired pumice]

yes

[strange ridge]

Will we be able to sell blueprints before any craft in OW? Illuvium zero requires low computer capacity..anyone can play. But OW is too heavy for regular computers..if crafting blueprints is needed in order to sell them that could be a problem for some peple

[paper mango]

I have an ILV0 Gameplay question... How do you build out if all of your resources are the same to start?

[lost drift]

Ok thanks

[tired pumice]

wdy mean? care to explain more

[amber hamlet]

This is why Android is better than Apple.. people still don't get it

Today marks exactly 2 years from when I first discovered Illuvium... Hell yeah I'll wait 2 weeks 🔥🔥😁

[tired pumice]

happy 2nd anniv here

[paper mango]

I'm working a T1 that has all hydro. I think I sorted it. I did a reset and focused on getting converters.

[tired pumice]

i prefer to have different resources, but yeah converters are the answer

[amber hamlet]

I had an all hydro my first land (sold it). Kinda made it easier, I dunno. I liked it

Anyone point me in the direction anyone they follow on YouTube that has good content on IZ..? I feel like I'm missing some tricks to boost productivity/efficiency

[paper mango]

Yeah now that I figured how to get it started it's not so bad.

[tired pumice]

there are some good content creators here #🎨〕community-content

As for the efficiency, my strat is to build lots of power station lol

[amber hamlet]

Appreciate it

[amber hamlet]

Interesting... I'll try that. Thanks!

Still trying to figure out how exactly to use the roads/tracks ... I'm saying it wrong but I forget the terminology 🤣

[tired pumice]

it's called path. right now you just build them around your buildings to lower building time, but soon it should be about connecting your buildings.

here's an image to better understand it

Thanks mate !!! This path def speeds things up 😊

[tired pumice]

Glad you've tried it 😜

[golden raven]

Hey I saw something about the official alpha starting on Twitter. Is that true or misinformation? Do we have a alpha start date?

[golden raven]

Nvm. Found the update. If anyone knows Julien’s Twitter account. I’d like to follow

[random siren]

@JIlluvium is his twitter handle

[subtle frost]

So Land has really dropped in price a lot

What was the Floor price during minting I forget

for T2 and T3

[golden raven]

Right on! Thanks. One of the best advise I got in this space is to follow the Devs not the influencers

[timber sapphire]

I mean we are almost a year later and still no blueprints or fuel

I think they are holding up pretty good regarding that

[subtle shell]

Question: I have my land plots in different ledger accounts. But when I start Ledger Live I don't see them. How can I see on which account I have which land plot?

[empty path]

Land is on L2 IMX, I don't believe this is supported by Ledger Live.

[gusty dome]

Hi guys, saw the update about season one coming. Unfortunately I still can’t connect to my account (bug reported and known for a while now) does someone knows if the account bug will be fix with the update? I didn’t saw anything about this bug fix yet.

[hoary forge]

They working on the fix.

[subtle shell]

So that would then mean that I would have to make a new access to IMX for each ledger account I have land on, correct?

[cyan bone]

Yep, this is on our radar and a high priority.

[loud bobcat]

When is illuvium for iOS?

[empty path]

https://tenor.com/view/pins-gif-20404399

[gusty dome]

Ok thanks for the answer

[blissful storm]

Why don't you move all your plots into one wallet?

Yes, you need to make an account for each wallet that holds land if you want to have them in separate wallets and play with them

[subtle shell]

That would probably be the best, but I don't even know how to do that.

[blissful storm]

Go to IMX and connect with all the wallets that hold land

Then you can see which wallet holds what

[subtle shell]

Ok, thanks. I will do that.

[lost drift]

New version of ILV Zero is not saving progress btw. At least for me.

[tired pumice]

when you're trying to close the game?

[lost drift]

If I just close it, I lose it all. If I try to go back to menu or something, before closing, I lose it all too.

Hello, are there some info about wiped out of Alfa 0 ?

[hoary forge]

What infos? A date is not announced yet. And all will get wiped before season 1 starts. Check the pin posts.

[atomic nexus]

Ok, I wonder about the date)

[hoary forge]

Check the pin post. 😉

[simple lance]

What do you all think will come first, season 1 of Zero or the 1 year anniversary of the land sale?

[tired pumice]

probably IZ s1

[timber sapphire]

You know that it is already in little bit more than a week right?

[tired pumice]

yep

[frail skiff]

you mean it's finally active we can upgrade Scanner for Higher tier Illuyvial?

[hoary forge]

No that's only a old info. There will be a announcement when season 1 starts

[frail skiff]

We have to do something to mint BluePrints or is it automatic?

[frail skiff]

I beagan to redevelopp all my lands for scanners 🙂

I have between 5 or 6 at 100% per land

It wasn't an easy task espacially for Converters 😫

[hoary forge]

You know that all will get wiped wen season 1 starts.

[frail skiff]

yes but it's written :

what does it mean?

[timber glacier]

That's for the end of season 1

[tired pumice]

love your bases

[frail skiff]

ah ok you mean the date has been modified

[timber glacier]

There will be time for you to mint blueprints before that Data wipe happens. But you will most likely have to do so manually.

[frail skiff]

We're still at Zero

yes that's why I took screenshots

To be able to rebuild easily without torture my brain

[timber glacier]

They haven't actually announced how the minting process will work, so we don't know yet.

[paper lance]

can fuel be sold on s1?

[hoary forge]

No only wen public beta starts

[lost drift]

Does anyone know how many blueprints are available to be found for each single biodata?

[empty path]

In the current build, 3

[lost drift]

Ok, thanks

Tried that, not working, it doesnt save regardless of what I do.

How to report a Bug?

Illuvium: Zero does not have an in-game reporting system

If you encounter any issues while playing Illuvium: Zero, we encourage you to submit a request through our online support portal: http://link.illuvium.io/bug. This is the best way to report bugs, as it allows us to track and address issues more efficiently.

[devout burrow]

I guess you could say you have the blueprints for your land… 😎

[misty rock]

Hi, there is 2 days i was not playing Zero. Today try to collect the resources. It seem passive collection is all empty. Why?

[random siren]

might need to update

[ancient panther]

Wen new season!~?

[bleak escarp]

Does moving an inverter/collider/lathe or one of the converters reset the passive collection time it has already accrued?

[random siren]

no date set yet

[blissful storm]

In two weeks

[timber glacier]

No. Upgrading one does however.

[strange haven]

Alpha season 1 not live yet?

do you think it will ever come to life?

i cant wait to play

[knotty mango]

Hello, just looking for an update. Is Illuvium Zero at the point where you keep your blueprint scans?

[mossy sorrel]

not yet. that'll happen in season 1, and we're expecting that to drop in about a week

[hoary forge]

You can check always the dev updates from zero in the pin posts

[civic cave]

after next patch can we search for more then 5 blueprints?

[opal thistle]

I don't think so. We will have to wait for Alpha season 1 to start

[stone jewel]

what does it change when u have higher or lower efficiency for the singularity scanner and the material lab?

[opal thistle]

The chance to successfully scan/research biodata and facts/blueprints

[golden orchid]

Is there an ETA for Alpha S1 already?

[hoary forge]

No but if you check the pin post you can see that it's very close.

[hollow shoal]

Probably within two weeks

[golden orchid]

Thanks boss!

[blissful storm]

One week and a couple of days if there are no more delays

Do you guys think v0.1.6 will drop by the end of the week?

[sweet junco]

God willing brother

Minting these skins will be nuts

[hollow shoal]

We have the potential for 5 per land correct?

[lost drift]

What do you mean?

[fair temple]

5 Illuvials -> 3 blueprints per Illuvial for a total of 15 Blueprints.
Ex. Blueprint of Atlas [Energy, Physical, Hybrid]
If i understand this rather cryptic question correctly 😄

[hollow shoal]

Thank you sir

[loud fern]

LOL i came to ask that exact question! I read somewhere a little while back that said 5 blueprints per illuvial and never looked into it again. So i been trying for days wondering why i wasn't getting that 4th blueprint 🤦‍♂️

[timber glacier]

Might have confused it with Facts, as there used to be 5 facts per Illuvial, currently we can only find 3 Facts for each one though.

[quiet hare]

Will you be able to move resources from one land to another one?

[reef jasper]

[amber hamlet]

Wow... Spent 2 min in the Illuvium Beyond channel and I'm feeling stressed just reading 🤣😂

They should just buy some land and come chill in here ..

[amber hamlet]

At the moment, no, but that's the last I heard last week

[wanton willow]

Prices in beyond items are low maybe is better to purchase directly instead purchase disks

[amber hamlet]

Yea... I mean I feel like with no supply limit that was an obvious thing that was bound to happen.. but I do feel bad for those that thought they could make money so soon..

I've def been in that position in the past... Not fun

[wanton willow]

100% correct, valuable items are scarce

[wanton willow]

You can in mega cities

[amber hamlet]

Ooooo... I completely forgot 🔥🔥🔥

That must be one of the reasons I'm seeing tier 1s go for the higher prices...

I'm content with my one land... One day I'll be a baron

[amber rune]

Been out for a few weeks - is Zero out yet for beta?

[amber hamlet]

We're cautiously optimistic that season 1 will start in a couple weeks.. but that's it for now

Check out pinned message up top

[radiant sky]

Feels weird.
The newest side Projects leaderboard, is gona be delayed a few weeks. And there's a serious Big discussion about compensating people, even tho beyond will get the first real ingame rewards anyways.
... And here we are in IZ Chanel, almost a year after landsale 🙃

[wanton willow]

Why mega cities are so expensive? Ex. 2x2 t3+t1+t1+t1 all for 6k, if you purchase each part is waay less

Is for the adjacent location? Is too difficult to obtain adjacent locations?

[wanton willow]

But the faqs said they are no yet available?

[bitter phoenix]

Acquiring all of the plots to make a mega city during the land sale was difficult. Especially for a 3x3 mega city. It meant 4 days of waiting for the right plots to be auctioned and often the bidder would have to pay way over the floor price to get critical plots to complete the city.

[wanton willow]

Thank you for the explanation sir

[sweet junco]

are there holo blue prints 👀

[versed warren]

Alpha disks will be worth a lot in the next couple of years

The supply can only decrease and the demand can only increase

[strange haven]

iOS version ever coming?

[wanton willow]

Seems reasonable

[wanton willow]

And i guess we need to wait a new sale to new lands to be minted? only way right now to build your own megacity is purchase your initial land near already minted lands and pray for his owners to sell in the future?

[bitter phoenix]

When the next land sale happens there will be opportunities to buy megacities. It’s anyone’s guess when that will be and how expensive they will be. You can try to piece together plots of land to form a mega city if you are patient I guess but I would imagine it would be very hard. It was a large risk for land owners to purchase megacities during the first sale as we don’t know when this will be a feature in the game and how profitable it will be. Some megacity owners may develop their cities and sell them fully functional for a large premium and look to buy a new one next land sale

[wanton willow]

Thank you again for resolving my doubts, we will take a t3 tier land almost for sure and start from there, we are no planning to sell it in a long time and go beyond t3 is not a good idea for us right now, but mega cities are a neat concept!

[bitter phoenix]

I’m lucky enough to have 1/2 share in a 3x3. I know how hard it was to acquire. I’m excited to see how it evolves but I think it will likely be a fairly long wait until megacities cover our initial investment and start making profit.

[wanton willow]

best wishes

[lunar wraith]

New season came out for the blueprint??

Not yet alpha season 1...

[copper inlet]

not yet, we still waiting 🙂

[bitter phoenix]

Same to you

[wanton willow]

there are more things to take in account, apart of balanced element and fuel sites, for land purchase?

[bitter phoenix]

The region that you purchase in will also determine type of illuvials that you will be able to scan for blue prints.

[timber glacier]

If you plan on scanning a lot then locations of resource nodes matters quite a bit.

[wanton willow]

thank to both, location of resource nodes need to be spaced in order to scan?

[timber glacier]

Scanners require empty space around it to gain higher efficiency, so if your resources are too spread out you'll have less open space to work with.
That said, depending on how much resources you have access to, it might be mathematically more efficient just packing a lot of scanners together and ignoring the efficiency factor entierly.
It ranges between 50-100%, cost staying the same regardless of efficiency. So if you can afford say 3 scanners at 50%, you might do better than 1 at 100%.

[wanton willow]

thanks Vana, love your explanation

[timber glacier]

You're welcome. A lot of the game depends on your goals and playstyle, so I hope I didn't complicate things further. 😉

[frail skiff]

Yes but you must be very lucky to find adjacent parts available

if there is one land owner who don't want to sell it ruin all your plan

[frail skiff]

Exactly, I was first looking for spread ressources land to dispatch the converters without lack of efficiency. I didn't found for my prices so finally choose closes sources of fuel and elements . And finally it's a strength and not a weakness 😃🙏

[dire drift]

can i play now with my own land in zero ? and gain something for the main game ?

[meager steppe]

not now

but maybe in 2 weeks

[wanton willow]

Until alpha season one you can't keep the blueprint (hopefully s1 starts in a week or two)
Until beta you can't keep or use the fuel
But you can play the game

[vital creek]

Hello small question, the plants that spawn on land, has random spawn or they will always spawn at the same place ?

[copper inlet]

random 🙂 so you can build stuff wherever you want with no worries you will block them

[vital creek]

Much thanks, i was worried of blocking the spawn

[potent pollen]

Can someone explain to me subject - blueprint ?
If I find 15 blueprints on one land during alpha season one, will the same land in beta have the same blueprints available to find or will they be different? or maybe there will be nothing there because they have already been found during alpha season one ?

[vestal spear]

LOL! Did you mean by the end of this calendar year or next calendar year?

[green lily]

Hi, once all 5 Illuvials are found, can the scanners be sold to make room for Material labs to search for the facts and blueprints?

[vestal spear]

I believe by the time Beta is released there will be a lot more iluvials you can get facts and blue prints for. In addition I believe all the tiers will be available but you will need upgrades to find the higher tiers. The odds of finding a particular alluvial will also depend on where your land is located and the affinity of the alluvial.

[vestal spear]

I plan to have some material labs as soon as i find my first alluvial. I will probably start with more scanners than material labs and then switch to more material labs as I get closer to having all 5.

[topaz kite]

How do we upgrade the Nexus to level V? Doesn't give me an option to upgrade and not sure why..

[vestal spear]

Did you ask for an airdrop? You cannot upgrade the Nexus if you are waiting for an airdrop.

If you want to cancel an air drop click on activity button (lower left corner) select Production tab and hit cancel

[bitter phoenix]

Friggin heck! You need to tutor me. 🤩

[barren ocean]

What exactly is an airdrop in IZ?

[vestal spear]

It is one of the options on Nexus

[wary prism]

Just gives you resources if you get stuck in early development of your city

[vestal spear]

It takes 24 hours to receive (ties up any Nexus Upgrades) and you don't get a lot

[tall crypt]

It's in price. 2 mounths ago I sell a megacitie for 14000$. The production of the mines and resources of Tier 1 and 2 is equal to that of a Tier 3 or 4. It is like an extension of the land tier 3 or 4 to the lands tier 1 or 2. The additional production that is achieved is less that the overprice, but it costs a lot to join 4 lands, there will be no new placements of lands in the medium term, therefore the price is justified.

1 week ago I ear IZ will begin in 2 week?.... Now, what is the situation?

[timber glacier]

In my experience there's never enough resources, but I scan and research a lot and that burns through stockpiles crazy fast (until you find everything, but in the live version later there will be a lot more to find so you'll most likely never run out of things to science for).
However, if you're focused on producing fuel, you will eventually have nothing to spend resources on, so you'll most likely end up not even mining for them...
As for the marketplace, you can trade way more than 300k per day. You can have at least 15 simultaneous trades going.
Also, if on the same level you only need 2 converters to burn the production of one mine.
It might be different for higher tier lands as they produce more resources due to the bonus and I only have experience with T1s.

[timber glacier]

We don't know for sure. Chances are you'll be able to find them again as there will be a wipe of all data in between seasons, unless they make the data about what blueprints were minted on which land persist, in which case it'll be locked to only being able to find a print once per land/wallet combination.

[wanton willow]

Sorry, my mistake, was 6 eth

[tall crypt]

ok I mistake, That is in price 11000$

[bitter phoenix]

Have you thought about doing a thread in ideas to help tutor people on how you optimise your land after reset. You have so much wonderful information for us all. I would love to see you put it all in one place. Just a thought. 😊

[timber glacier]

Actually, I have thought about it, just not sure where to put something like that...

[bitter phoenix]

I would think that an ideas channel would the place. You can check with Rich but I tend to just do stuff till I get told off. 😅

You could label it t1 land inspiration or vanas t1 tutorial??

I would love to see land help ordered for the tiers and maybe later for either fuel or blueprints.

Each tier is so different in how fast things can be done and I get discouraged looking at Fraggys huge lvls. Lol. My t1s are sad in comparison

[timber glacier]

Yeah, I'm currently working on a reference list on what to build in what order to progress as quickly as possible after a reset, and it looks like it would be very different even going from just a T1 to a T2.

[bitter phoenix]

Yes. I have 8 in total and there is a big difference between the t1s and t2

What ts do you have?

[timber glacier]

Just T1s so far, considering making my next one a T2.

[bitter phoenix]

Have you checked out my creature suggestion channel?

[timber glacier]

Yup, I've browsed through it every now and then

[bitter phoenix]

It can work for lots of different ideas that are more narrow focused. Lots of great information and ideas kind of get buried in discord. If we had threads for very specific things like your t1 optimisation I think it would be super helpful

I can see how passionate and generous with your information you have been

[timber glacier]

I like that idea, though there is a limit to how long you can make a post, so I'll probably have to figure out the format for a tutorial to be put into a thread like that... Maybe compress most of the text into an image instead of actual text...

[bitter phoenix]

Or just do what I do to keep it interesting. I just post something every day or second day as I go. People can stop in and scroll back and it keeps the interest of those who follow along to check in regularly.

That way it isn’t huge amounts to go through but more a diary

[timber glacier]

Yeah, that can work out pretty well too. Like new chapters every tuesday, detailing a specific topic...

[bitter phoenix]

Yes or just a brief summary of milestones that have a sequential importance

Maybe daily or every couple days summarise then a weekly topical thought. Often people will ask things they want to learn and you won’t have to come up with all the ideas on your own

It’s really nice to keep engagement up in discord at this time as it’s been a pretty tough bear

[timber glacier]

Yeah, sometimes it's easier to just answer questions than trying to write something more in-depth.

[bitter phoenix]

If you do buy a t2 I would keep it separate ect

[timber glacier]

Yeah, I think a T2 would be so different it might need it's own thread

[bitter phoenix]

I think all ts need separate threads

[timber glacier]

not so much for basics, but for optimization and strategy

[bitter phoenix]

Your already doing all the work in discord as it is. This would just be more organised and more accessible for people who find value in your contributions to land discussions. Plus it’s kind of fun to carve out a little corner of illuvium.

I will be encouraging others who hold different ts to do the same. I would love to follow along to optimise my plots but don’t want to have to troll through massive amounts of txt

[timber glacier]

Yeah, having dedicated threads would make searching for specific things a bit easier

[bitter phoenix]

Up to you if you want to do it. Just thought I’d suggest it to you. No pressure. ☺️

[timber glacier]

Yeah, we'll see if something happens I guess. Been thinking of doing something relatively short, like a small guide on what to look for in a T1 land when buying your first one (seems to be a pretty common question).

Also seems like a good starting point

[bitter phoenix]

Yes see how you go. If you enjoy doing that then see how you feel after reset about a channel in ideas. At least if your thinking about it now before reset you can have a plan on how you want to organise your thoughts ect.

[coral remnant]

is land earning on or its still in development can anyone answer pls

[inner gate]

can I place all my lands beside one another?

[timber glacier]

You can't move lands. You'd have to buy plots that are next to your other plots if that's something you want to have.

[inner gate]

cool

what are megacities?

I'm interested in buying t2 land with 3 fuels

[timber glacier]

A feature coming in the future, where you can link adjacent plots in a 2x2 or 3x3 area to form a bigger plot that shares some building bonuses across all of them.

[inner gate]

wow. that's nice/

[timber glacier]

Most notably the resource and fuel bonuses from T3 and T4 plots, as well as Nexus and Workshop levels to save some space on admin buildings.

[inner gate]

admin buildings?

[timber glacier]

Buildings that don't really do anything besides unlock the ability to build/upgrade other buildings (Nexus, Engineering Workshop, Quantum Fabricant).

[vestal spear]

That would be great! I have been trying but I dont have enough time. I want to try and get this down after the next reset so I am ready for Beta! I have 1 T1, 1 T2 and a T3 if you need help adapting to the other tiers. I would guess the order would be different depending on your goals for the plot (Blueprints, Fuel or both) After the reset all about blueprints of course.

[timber glacier]

Yeah, priorities are a bit different depending on if you want blueprints or fuel, and I imagine it'll be even more different on higher tiers.

[vestal spear]

I toying with the idea of both blueprints and fuel on my T3. I was getting pretty good fuel production with 3 100% scanners. Not sure what I was giving up in fuel though.

[timber glacier]

Yeah, T3 should have a pretty decent option for that. Finding that balance is tricky though...

[vestal spear]

It is and it would be great to get a group of testers to try some different configs then compare results in the next round. That would make it easier to decide what to do when reset for Beta happens.

[timber glacier]

Yeah, that would be a big help.

we still have no official info and there is still one patch coming before Season 1 (0.1.6) so i would not expect it in a week yet

[rich grotto]

Ok thank you for your answer 🙂

[humble plank]

The plots screen should list your builders for each plot and their progress.

[candid cairn]

can someone please share link to the web site where people are planning how to organize their land?

[timber sapphire]

there is a site for that?

[candid cairn]

yes, I saw it maybe month ago here in chat
people were sharing their ideas

[timber glacier]

illuvitect .com/simulator

[candid cairn]

thank you

I see that it is for version v0.1.2

were there any big changes, since we are now on v0.1.5?

[timber glacier]

Not really. The only changes are the Marketplace having a different cost and 2 levels, and the minimum efficiency being 50% instead of 25%.

Efficiency calculations should still be the same for numbers above 50%, just consider anything saying 25%-49% to be 50%.

[blissful storm]

Next week should be v0.1.6 and the week after Season 1

[covert siren]

who said next week?

[blissful storm]

It's in the pinned update 😉

[covert siren]

ouh

[candid cairn]

good to know, tnx

[vital creek]

Any patch note out for this already ? Cause i don't wanna suggest things that are already coming since i started to test 3 days ago only

[copper inlet]

not an official patch notes i would say, but read last 2-3 pinned messages in this chat. There is a lot of info about what is planned in future updates

[vital creek]

I will try to find those, thanks

Cause i started to write some ideas down about improvements, specially on UI

[copper inlet]

this is always welcome from the team, you can use #1020759212172775464 if you prepare something, so it would not get lost till team reads it

[vital creek]

Like i find it bad that tooltip isn't updating dynamically with the % efficiency/time, can't get a real view of the improvement, only when starting a thing and clicking on the work icon but then we can't see for the passive ones

[timber glacier]

The time it takes for passive generation can't be influenced by anything (except level upgrades for fuel converters, but that's pretty clearly written when upgrading at least), so you only need to think about efficiency for that part.

[vital creek]

But the amount is and info window is not reflecting this

Same for active action, this is what i miss in Illuvium Zero tbh, made a feed back about it

[timber glacier]

Yes, the info window only shows the building's base stats. (It would be nice if it also showed the actual current numbers in red/green depending on your current efficiency)

[vital creek]

Yes indeed, i hope they can change this 🤞🏼

[timber glacier]

Should be a pretty simple thing to add (considering we already have it on the upgrade screens)

[amber hamlet]

Others are on level 4000+ so 149 ain't sh*t 😂🤣 I know this ... But I'm still pretty pumped.

It's taken about 7 days and about to have my first blue print in 18 hours.. does a week sound about right to start producing blueprints? Or is that pretty bad ..?

[potent pollen]

On what tier ?

[timber glacier]

I believe the fastest you can get a blueprint (assuming you get lucky with both the scan and the research) is 5 days for T1, 4 days for T2 and 3 days for T3 and T4 (depending on land layout of course). So 7 days sounds pretty good.

[vital creek]

Anyone else noticed randomness in the tick for passive resources into convertor, it says 3mins x number but for some reason, every 2 ticks, it takes longer, it did for me 05:35 08:35 and then 13:17 for some reason, repeated again on another try 13:17 16:17 and then 20:20.

Do you know what cause this ? Or known bug ?

How do paths affect my land in Illuvium Zero?

In Illuvium Zero, paths are an important aspect of your land optimization. When placed next to buildings, paths can increase the speed of activities such as construction, extraction, conversion, and scanning. It is important to note that the connectivity of paths is not a factor in their effectiveness - a completely surrounded building is the most optimal setup for maximum efficiency.

Tier 1

[amber hamlet]

Appreciate this 🙏

[potent pollen]

Very fast and lucky

[amber hamlet]

Oh cool, thanks man!

Wasn't really sure haha

It really has got me thinking if it makes sense to get tier 2...? Any thoughts on this, versus two tier 1's ?? I know some of it is preference.. @potent pollen

[potent pollen]

I prefer T2 because building everything is a bit faster and I don't have that much time to play T1 (but I also have T1)

[amber hamlet]

Was hoping you'd say that lol... Good to know. Appreciate it 👍

[true sequoia]

nice fuel bonus also tier 2 vs 1

[wispy prism]

morning illuvium, how is everyone going?

[slender crown]

Has anyone suggested that clearing plants/shrooms etc should not require a builder?

[true sequoia]

Morning Teloolah and good idea Sensei...and stop having to hit the level up button every time you collect things

[slender crown]

I think being able to clear plants as they come along and help speed up whatever you are building would be much better than watching them grow endlessly. I can understand putting even a 5 or 10 minute timer per plant if there are no builders, but watching plants grow endlessly while we wait 18 hours for our upgrade to finish is kind lame.

[wary prism]

What about a microtransaction to buy a 'Gardener' that automatically harvests fully grown plants.

[slender crown]

Even better. Would totally pay.

[timber glacier]

That's actually coming in Open Beta (extra builders you can pay for).

[jovial haven]

Any new info about release season 1?

[hoary forge]

The last update news is in the pin post.

[candid cairn]

From empty plot?!

[candid cairn]

I have T1 and T2 and can tell you that T2 is more interesting to play, and develops faster

[amber hamlet]

Thank you! I think I'm definitely sold on a tier 2 now haha

[timber glacier]

Yes. But you need to hit a 5% success on both the Scanner and Lab, so it's pretty unlikely. And it requires some insane optimization when it comes to building, and also very specific fuel nodes on the land.

Well, the first Biodata might have a higher success rate, and you can boost Lab efficiency.

[candid cairn]

Sounds impossible!
How can you event harvest enough resources to build a scanner if you start from scratch?

[timber glacier]

You'd have to play a lot and get mines/converters and power stations down quickly. Then you can "easily" make 1-2m resources in a day.

Higher tiers also get the land bonus for +33%/+100%/+300% resources and fuel.

[candid cairn]

yea, power plants are big booster

in your opinion, is better to use T1 for blueprints or fuel?
(atm: we know nothing how they could be profitable)

[timber glacier]

Still a bit undecided on that.
You can make a decent amount of fuel on a T1, but you just get way more for the same amount of effort on higher tiers.
Blueprints seem like it would be easier to get on T1s, but at the same time you get more resources on higher tiers, so you can unlock higher levels of scanners and labs faster and afford to scan on 2-3x as many 50% scanners as a T1 can afford 100% scanners.

So depending on how much the scan efficiency matters and the profitability of blueprints it might be a yes or a no...

Of course you may also want to account for the other Tiers as they have a higher Fuel production bonus, you may not want to use those lands for blueprints, then T1s will by default be the best to use for that.

So I'm leaning towards T1s being better for blueprints, but we'll see further ahead I suppose.

[candid cairn]

same here

tnx

[timber glacier]

I just tested this and it's not bugged for me (7 consecutive ticks at exactly 3min between each for me so far), so not sure why you're seeing that.

[humble lichen]

What was the original date for Season 1 again lol?

[empty path]

I believe Feb 23

[humble lichen]

Ok ok better be patient I guess

[silver gyro]

Hello guys 👋

[amber hamlet]

I think so... if they don't get the balance right then there's a chance they would have to pause it, erase all our data, and then restart it again. So I think slow and steady makes sense at this point.. that being said, I'm dying for an update from Julien 😂

[tough forge]

Can you please show examples of your bases?

[amber hamlet]

There's a ton of content on YouTube..can get a much better idea there and explanations. Good luck 👍

[spring void]

Are we getting a Monday dev update? 👀🤓

[vital creek]

No idea aswell, is it related when using the convertor or not ?

[timber glacier]

Haven't tested an idle one (mine was running the whole time)

[vital creek]

Mine was running and then ready but didnt click collect

[blissful storm]

We should get an update today, isn't it? Hopefully it will come with v0.1.6 announcement 🙂

Thanks!

[vast raft]

Good morning team. I would just like to throw in a suggestion for mega city’s. Would be cool if y’all made any touching plots turn into a mega city

Maybe it getting ready reset the timer then?

[vital creek]

No idea, would need some more testing

[ocean haven]

seems odd we bought land to earn, and now we have to pay for extra builders to use it optimally. meanwhile illuvitars get paid for being on a leaderboard and was not ment to earn, and they get compensated for the delay

[mortal smelt]

[blissful storm]

are they getting compensated on the delayed leaderboard? compensated how? 😅

"Many people began purchasing more illuvitars on the basis that they could be rewarded"

Many people began purchasing more land on the basis that they could start playing Season 1 🤣

[fair temple]

Well I'm only sharing what I know. As you say, I agree that Land has seen a lot of ups and downs in value with the land sale and announced release dates. people bought lands in the hopes of catching an event or announcement. I just think that giving leaderboard rewards is more doable. Leaderboard rewards were clearly announced and missed. Easy things such as these are more likely to be distributed at a later date than stuff like "oh we couldn't deliver a game at that time". It is difficult to give a reasonable value to that.

I have no clearly defined opinion on how one equates to the other. I understand the frustration and that it is somewhat similar to one another. But for land I think it's just bad luck. Should've sold the news for land instead 😅
