ilz have delay upon delay, but we get to pay more money to get builders 🙂

[radiant sky]

Not a fan of the "pay for additional builder" either. Especially since it is known that you can buy speed ups anyways. Would have done it with unlocking through achievements on your progress or something like that.

[amber hamlet]

The squeaky wheel always gets the grease... I guess the majority of land holders are the OGs that don't complain 🤷

[coarse hearth]

Hello, sorry for asking. What is the name of the buildings when we build on land cannot be speed up with the coin?

[hoary forge]

?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.

Sir what is the function of the path surrounding the hyperion extractor building?

[hoary forge]

path is always the same. check the bot command above

[coarse hearth]

Okay❤️

Thank you sir🙏

[narrow oasis]

I wish the team will shed some light on IZ Builders IAP before Season 1. I am concerned that the game development simply relies on IAP to balance the early stage of the game. I am especially concerned that Season 1 players will be required to additionally spend IAP to take full advantage of their early-stage investment, also considering the patience shown before starting to earn.

[heady beacon]

What is IAP? In app purchases? If so I don't think that's a thing.

[narrow oasis]

Yes; you can search for IAP or Builders

[heady beacon]

oh yeah thats right forgot about builders and spedups

the flora growing back everyday kinda balances out the speedups no?

werent all the BP gonna be the same in the first season? or is there always a chance for a rare one?

t4's gonna have a hard time having so many scanners at 100% efficiency

but maybe not that hard

interesting

they may just nerf scanners more

the more concentrated they are, the closer to 0% efficiency type of thing

[vivid cipher]

It’s wild that you can overcome the debuff of the crypton convertor next to crypton convertor with enough power plants. It’s so pretty.

I will say that in the current beta of the overworld it doesn’t cost HYPERION to cure shards, but eventually it will. I feel like many people underestimate the potential demand for hyperion and overestimate the demand for crypton. But maybe that’s just my copium.

[tardy falcon]

Totally agree… my plots are Hyperion focused so I can become a shard dealer ✨

[timber glacier]

There's also Solon required for upgrades, and that's barely ever mentioned. Yet upgrades are kinda important for doing anything in Overworld. So I'm probably going to have one plot for each type of fuel in the end...

And done (again) in way less time than my first try

[timber glacier]

Especially if this (from a previous tech update) becomes a thing, then efficiency for scanners becomes completely irrelevant:

Illuvium Zero Tech Update [04/24 - 04/28]

Hey everyone, here we go for a progress update on IZ! Sorry about missing it yesterday, I was off for birthday reasons 😅

As we move toward season 1 release, these updates will switch more and more to how we are progressing on the beta. As promised, this will start coming with a few leaks for your beautiful eyes only 😌

• 0.1.6 is currently undergoing final tests before we release to production. We are still on track for a release this week and then off we go to season 1, hopefully next week or by 3rd week of may latest!
• blueprint minting feature is in serious mode, getting ready to test contracts and flow ingame!
• on the beta, we've made sure that the game comes back to normal levels of performance and size and I'm happy to share some numbers here: mobile and desktop beta versions are all under 150MB fully built with all assets, and since the plan is to externalize some of these assets at some point, the client is going to get even smaller!
• in more beta news, the team has been killing it on improving login flow, camera inputs (think zoom out) and general UI stability
• on the art side, our very own @wild star has been doing amazing VFX for plots, as shown in the sneak peak with this post
• we've also been working a lot on sound design internally so expect the beta to sound as crisp as the THX test scene! Subwoofers recommended for future versions
• we've been closely monitoring Apple's obligations to open up sideloading on iOS, but it seems they are reserving it for Europe only. Here's hoping that they take a good decision (for once), but in any case, iOS players are very much on our minds for beta and the WebGL build is shaping up to be a great alternative! If we can get native iOS sideloading, you'll be the first to know 🙂

Once again, thanks for all the support from the community! We're committed to releasing this game through alpha and beta with the best quality we can build! Next up, we start implementing the big new features, so expect more leaks, crunchy info and awesome visuals 🙂

[lunar tangle]

Hi all, i found the information that were still in Alpha 0 Phase correct? is there already a date for Alpha 1 start? thank you so much

12" woofer is ready, my neighbours can't wait 🙃

[spring mist]

got about 200w RMS under the desk, downstairs neighbours have been pretty fussy about it

[radiant sky]

Got lucky, my Downstairs neighbours are pretty tolerant. Never got complains, even tho my furniture is shaking af sometimes

You tried to decouple it from the floor?

[blissful storm]

It's literally in the announcement above your question... 🙈

[lyric hamlet]

Some people just don't want to read the announcement and getting mislead. Understandable

[solemn vine]

Hello

[hardy brook]

Is there a small fee when selling fuel to the pool for ETH?

[lunar tangle]

Ups 🙈 shame on me 🙂 thanks anyways

[iron laurel]

Happy Belated Birthday! Hope you had a great day.🎉

Thanks for the update. So close now...
The land is looking beautiful too.🙂

[blissful storm]

Is there a chance we do not get another reset after Season 1? I am just saying this because high tier land owners won't have any incentive to keep playing once they got all the alpha BP

Additionally, not resetting the land would be nice for those who have been through all delays and can start generating fuel/higher tier BP after Alpha

[amber hamlet]

Appreciate you sharing this ... it makes perfect sense, what you did with the scanners. Wouldn't have thought of that

[amber hamlet]

If pfps are going to get rewards... Land should too

Lol

[blissful storm]

I wouldn't even consider this a reward but "why to reset again"

a free builder for those playing alpha would be a nice reward

[fair temple]

It may lead to an oversupply of fuel at the start of the beta which could lead to a dump in land prices.

Additionally, the early game and balancing around how long it takes to build up a plot would not be tested so the next land sale would have more uncertainties. A reset (shortly) before Beta was promised and is beneficial for the development of the game.

[blissful storm]

We haven't tested enough that we do not know how long does it take to build up a plot?

[amber hamlet]

I'm just referencing the silly Illuvitar drama... Just joking really lol.. but I do agree with you

[blissful storm]

and re over supply... each one is free to sell fuel/land at the low

the same way people were just undercutting during the last month because of further delays

let the market market

[amber hamlet]

Yea supply and demand will balance out

Can't manipulate everything

Anyway.. that's it for me

@south mural
How did you zoom out on your plots to take the picture?

[fair temple]

Season 1 of alpha will be all about balancing everything over again. So the early game will similarly see balancing and will likely take a different amount of time than what it will at the start of Season 1.

[amber hamlet]

Appreciate it!

What it feels like to balance IZ

[blissful storm]

fair enough but, again, there's no incentive for high tier land owners to keep playing after getting the BP and those will get them quite fast

[timber glacier]

The thing about balancing in games are that no matter what you do, something will always be the "best" thing to do, or more efficient than everything else. And once players figure this out it'll become overused and considered broken/unbalanced. And when rebalancing this, something else will become optimal... And so on.

[fair temple]

The high-tier lands will also likely be sped up to infinity regardless. Progress of Tier 1-2s will be the more important metrics.

[blissful storm]

I would appreciate if the team reads the comment above. I have seen so many changes already that makes buying anything not a good move until the full balance is done

[empty path]

The teams reads this, don't you worry about that 🙂

[spring void]

Season 1 is almost here. I can taste it!

[amber hamlet]

@fair temple
Does Singularity Scanner 1 only scan for tier 1's ? Or is there a chance it can target higher tiers without upgrading..?

[fair temple]

for the alpha versions you can only get Tier 1 blueprints anyways

[amber hamlet]

Got it, thanks 👍

[fair temple]

for the Beta it will have different odds for higher tier encounters. higher stage scanners = higher probability for higher tier scanned illuvials

[wanton willow]

Love IASIP references

[rotund forum]

question: if you have a 2x2 megacity, will it have automatically 4 workers? Or just 1?

[radiant sky]

I own t4's and i definetly don't spend another 10k just to speed them up. I rather buy a bunch of t2/t1 for that price

[sinful verge]

This is true to an extent, but optimal isn’t known for a good while.

I love the case study of super smash bros melee. There’s been a thriving esports scene for 20+ years. And you can look at the tier lists over the years. It wasn’t “known” that fox was the best character for years after launch. And even now there is still swapping and debate over which characters are better. Players can show that a mid tier character was being underutilized and move them up tier lists all these years later.

This isn’t an apples to apples comparison though, as tier lists for PvP games depend on how characters perform against other high tiers. IZ may be a bit easier to figure out the “optimal” path. I just love pointing to smash when people call for crazy balancing changes to characters in games after 1 day of playing. I hope arena won’t be like that.

[radiant sky]

You are talked Ng about the very first Set of bp's... If second wave launches, all Lands gona be Max anyways, i rather habe then a higher Chance to get bp's, for the Rest of the time this ip exists.
Besides, just because you Speed up, doesn't give you a guaranteed rare drop, you can just play the lottery a bit earlier.

[civic jungle]

Hey fam! Where can i read about wiping up our progress again before beta? Last time i was asking it was only before season 1 and in season 1 all your progress is saved and if you sell land - you sell everything built on that land. What have changed? What is the point of season 1 then? Why not keeping season 0 and delivering updates till beta and then wipe it once. What is the point for us to start from scratch and then again, one more time start from scratch in beta? Sorry, not getting it 🙏

[timber glacier]

How long that while is depends entierly on the complexity of the game though.
for IZ there's basically only two different things to aim for: Blueprints or Fuel, so the time needed to find which is the more optimal ir relatively short compared to a PvP game with 15+ characters that all interact with each other differently.

[sinful verge]

Yeah definitely. “Optimal” should be close to be figured out rather soon after launch. Of course you need to know how to get there for your specific plot

[timber glacier]

I'm sure most players who are going to optimize one way or another will get most of their planning done during season 1 (assuming nothing added at the start of the beta completely throws the gameplay in a different direction), so it should be fairly clear very quickly once prices on fuels and the rarity of high level prints are discovered.

[little moon]

Hey guys, been away for a couple weeks and trying to get back up to speed. I read the tech updates but I’m just trying to make sure I have this right.

So v1.5 was the last balance update before season 1? We should see version 1.6 soon and then season 1 start but there won’t be any balance changes made between now and season 1 launch?

[radiant sky]

Nothing to do with me feeling Bad about the "pay to be able to keep up" implementqtions. I always try to Make rational decisions, and not emotional ones.
Ofc there will be many who will pay, it's still crypto Space, and a Lot of them probably spent their money Way worse already, so they don't feel Bad for paying extra.
Idk what time period "Long Long Long" is. But we don't know droprates of bp's yet, we don't know how exactly the bonding curve Hits. There will be some Players who spend, almost instantly build up their plot and Start scanning/resewrching af, and some of them will be lucky to get the first ones which they can sell. Don't expect everybody who will speed up getting bp's Like shit.
We also don't know what landprices will do. I expect the prices will rise, because the game is life and people actually can Profit from their investement. If the Games attract the Masse, they will rise fast. So me personally with the data provided rather Grab some cheap Lands than taking a certain chance (my expactation is low Chance) to get the very first bp's of the very first Set.

Also the game just started, there won't be many Players buying skins in the first few weeks i guess. So "skin production people" most likely wait until the prices drop, because the dude who got the first bp sells it for 100eth

Maybe im wrong, maybe data changes and i Change my opinion. But for now, if i take your cal example with the 5k/t4 Speed up, i rather get 30% more plots

[radiant sky]

I guess changes can always occure, nothing is set in stone until it is live. But afaik they don't expect to do changes between 1.6 and season 1

[rotund forum]

Anyone know if megacities will have 4 (or 9) builders?

[radiant sky]

There's so many assumptions here. But yes, maybe you are right

[fair temple]

details for mega cities are still tbd

[rotund forum]

I am thinking about getting a second builder if the price is not abusive. If it is, I´ll just go with one and if it takes 8 months so be it. If the builder is around 1000$ or less I think it is interesting but if it is more... and I fear it will be... I´ll just stick to one.

[fossil flare]

megacities will only be implemented in a future update anyway right? so by that time you have prob built up your lands to almost max.... but yeah i guess it would make sense for them to have 4/9 builders

[radiant sky]

Btw... I wouldn't expect them to release more Land in the first 2 years.
First they have to collect data for some time to calc the economy and If they have a vision of 20 years, i guess they Split it up so they release all Land in maybe 10-15 years. But who knows...

[radiant sky]

Johnny said he will put MC in for open Beta.... maybe maybe not...

[radiant sky]

#🎮〕illuvium-zero message

[trail stirrup]

is alpha live yet???

[fossil flare]

ufff looks like i missed quite a bit on the ilz side since i was mostly engaged with ilv beyond like Johnny in the last weeks xD

sounds cool tho

would be so dope to have mc's active when game launches but im not sure if they will make that in time... did they even announce any further information on mc's till now?

[radiant sky]

I feel like that gets way worse when they release even more Games in the far future 😂

[fossil flare]

haha yep illuvium is gonna be a fulltime job for me when everything launches xD

[radiant sky]

No, i can't remember anything

[fossil flare]

thats why i hope mc's will be live by then cause then i only have to manage one land^^

[fossil flare]

its surely gonna be a pain to try and balance that all out without megacities but with them.... yikes

[radiant sky]

Yea, Fingers crossed. Will Save a Lot of time if you own multiple plots you can fuse to a megacity

[fossil flare]

Yep and also more fuelproduction for the whole city with a t4 land i think

[radiant sky]

Yea probably 😵

[fossil flare]

yeah but you will prob not change everything around that often... also theres some fixed buildings anyway due to the resources so you can only kinda move inbetween them

[radiant sky]

An Editor would be nice, where you can Set up your Buildings from scratch. Maybe even Save 2 or 3 different Layouts, where you can swap between them with 1 click

[timber glacier]

Helicarrier?

We have the technology, no?

[radiant sky]

Like the singularity better... More style

[timber glacier]

Pretty sure M0z4rt or one of his friends could help teleport stuff around

what's the big one called?

G4ud1?

[fossil flare]

yeah i havent even played all my lands yet and surely not optimized... would have prob been a waste of time anyway cause when things change i would have to change my loadouts as well all the time... prob better to wait for final game release and then optimze them on the go... especially when mc's are already a thing by that time

[rotund forum]

I think things will continue to change as we get closer to open beta (which might be a year or more away according to some). I think the converters have already been nerfed in a logical way since the first release but I think this beta is a way for them to see how things are exploited… if you put a zillion of power stations you can currently put different converters close to one another.. this has been confirmed to change. With sense; no need to buy a T4 if you can just compensate a T1 with enough converters and power stations.

[rotund forum]

That is true mate. Greater output of extractors and not decrease converters that much

But think this time is exactly for that. I assume and hope they will reach that conclusion as well

[amber atlas]

I do want to note that neither Fuel Producing, Scanning, or Research Activities can be sped up, so yes you will get to end-game quicker if you pay for speed-ups and thus have some advantage to getting firsts, but once at end-game there is parity

The idea with blueprint rarity is that the curves for the higher level blueprints are such that only a small number of holders get them, it may well be that some blueprints are never discovered, just like some combinations of Illuvitars aren't loaded.

(didn't read the whole thread, just wanted to note this)

• Also everything is subject to design changes via ICCP process... but these IAP restrictions have been guiding principles since the start of the game design.

[radiant sky]

Sounds Like the curve Hits Hard for high Tier bp's but doesn't increase fast with low Tier bp's?
Are there already numbers in the room, how many mints there are for the different Tiers, before it gets nearly impossible for another one to be minted?

[amber atlas]

the curves aren't locked in, just general guidelines on how it should 'feel' right now

I think the curves should go through ICCP before Open Beta

[rotund reef]

That middle paragraph is HOT!! Love having that level of rarity in the game. Keeps me constantly on the hunt.

[subtle frost]

When can we start getting blue prints

[hoary forge]

Very Soon. Check the latest dev news in the pin post

[subtle frost]

Okay great. Will everything get erased

[hoary forge]

Yes all will get wiped wen season 1 starts

[subtle frost]

Sweet. I’ll start when the game starts

For getting so,e blue print minting.

Or should I start now

[hoary forge]

You can start now and check out what is the best and fastest way to get blueprints. So wen it starts you know what to do.

[radiant sky]

Positives and negatives to this, right?
Imagine the skin you love and would buy, never will be for sale because the BP for it never got minted.

[timber glacier]

That's probably the one thing about Illuvium's design that I feel is off.
Some things are made to be extremely rare or limited, to the point where there's a risk of never being minted at all. This, in my opinion defeats the whole purpose of being a game focused on collectibles or collecting in general.
The one thing that's appealing to me with other franchises is that eventually completing a collection is entierly based on the effort (or money) you put into it.
So far I've seen multiple instances in design that is geared towards making completion impossible, which I fear is going to be a major downside when trying to attract a larger audience of players. (Yes, I know not everyone is a perfectionist or completionist, but these particular groups would be very hard to attract with designs like this).

[radiant sky]

Yea, have the Same concern.
Maybe it attracts even more people because it is almost impossible, who knows. I definetly like the fact that it is hard to get, so an average player doesn't walk arround every collections completed... But, almost impossible? Not sure how that will play out.

[timber glacier]

I guess it comes down to the question of how much the average player spends on the game, and how long they stick around and how many they are.

[radiant sky]

Probably.
I feel Like they try to make it as real as possible.
Like, imagine there are illuvials in the real world. You have limited time to catch them before they dissapear forever. So you are going to make a plan for a route where it is very likely to Find the illuvials you wana have in your Deck. Theres no Way to catch even half of them, because they are spread out in the entire world.... Some in Himalaya, some in the deepest seas, some Deep in the rain forrest etc.

Ramphyre nests might only be spottet in active volcanos so you probably never get one if you are not crazy enough to climb into many active volcanos 😂

[timber glacier]

I believe that's what the market is for.
Except for the 2 Illuvials that are so rare they only spawned once, and the player failed to capture them because of chance.

[timber glacier]

Sure, realism is nice, but we have, oh say... Reality for that already. I play games to have fun, not to simulate reality.
(Which reminds me of a comedian act about GTA, and how every time he failed a mission he had to drive back to the area and try again. Game effectively forced him to commute to work...)

[radiant sky]

Ofc. But i could imagine for me personally it is way more fun in the end like that. Like if you go into pvp, and your enemy you wana kill puts out a scoriox and you are Like "wtf, that dude got so many phyris to Make a scoriox?!" Just before you put your titanor on the board in the Next round😏😈, knowing there are just 30people in the world having one

[timber glacier]

Maybe I'm just too used to games being based on skills/mechanics, compared to scarcity of what you can use.
I mean for your generic trading card game you eventually establish a meta of what works and what doesn't, and certain cards gain or lose value accordingly.
Having a system more based on rarity where you can't just pick the "best" strategy, buy a deck and compete, could prove interesting.
Guess I'll have to wait and see on that one.
From a PvP-gaming standpoint it could work just fine.

But from a collector's perspective, I don't think it's a good system.

[radiant sky]

Yea totally... The die hard collectors, probably suffer.
Maybe it's just the t5's who are Hard to get, everything up to t4 is pretty easy to Find/ cheap to buy...We'll See

[nova epoch]

LFGGGGGG!!!!!!!111

[hasty topaz]

Hello guys new am thinking to buy a land I got a little knowledge by reading the white paper but as you there is always things you don't get so any advices will bee great and I have. Been curious if a buy tier 1 with 3 elements does this land get to generate the 3 types of fuels or you can get them thru the converter converting elements to fuel resources

[timber glacier]

Any plot can generate all 3 types of resources (if they don't have the specific node to mine directly, then through converters), same for the 3 fuels.

[hasty topaz]

Sorry to ask so much but I saw lands for example that doesn't have carbon it have 2 hydrogen and the other element in tier1

Does all tiers generate all type of fuels because that land doesn't show that it have where to generate fuel

[hoary forge]

They can only generate the elements and fuel that is on the land. But you can convert them with converter's to the missing elements and fuel.

So if you need carbon because you don't have it on your Land. Build the specific converter and your good

[hasty topaz]

Oh nice thnx carbon was an example but tier 1 the one I desire to purchase have only the 3 elements no fuel of any kind can I convert elements to fuel

It have carbon hydrogen and silicon

And please any advice before buying you want to give I'll appreciate it alot

[spark crest]

it needs to have a fuel. you cant convert element to fuel

[hasty topaz]

So what's ur advice for buying a land

Tier one only have 3 elements or does it come with fuel too

[spark crest]

it also has a fuel, you probably just overlooked

[hoary forge]

Tier 1 has always 3 elements and 1 fuel

[spark crest]

@hasty topaz about advice, it's up to you if you want to invest in land. If it helps, I have tier 1 and tier2

[hoary forge]

got also 2x tier 2 with all elements and all fuel

[hasty topaz]

Oh I c thnx mate

But I c there is tier 1 that ha have 3 fuel sites

[stoic gate]

@hasty topaz I got 2x T2 lands if u are interested

[hasty topaz]

Am new whats 2x t2

[hoary forge]

tier 1 can´t have 3 fuels.

[stoic gate]

I got 2 lands tier 2

[hasty topaz]

Oh o. The table that must be tier 2

[wanton willow]

lol , it has two tier1

[hasty topaz]

I c lol

[hasty topaz]

What's the cost

[stoic gate]

Send u a friend request

[hoary forge]

oh the 2nd should be a tier 2. my bad

[hasty topaz]

Yeah now I noticed that

[hoary forge]

sorry

[hasty topaz]

Can you guys advice how to know if the land t2 or t1 am going to buy is good choice

[stoic gate]

Yeah I would do 👌

[tired pumice]

NFA but i'd go for land with different resources available

[hasty topaz]

What's nfa sorry am new to this

[hasty topaz]

Ok

[tired pumice]

not financial advice 🙂

[hasty topaz]

Oh ok

Yeah any advice I appreciate it mate

Anything other then that

Then to have different element or at least one of each element and resources

[tired pumice]

how many plots are you planning to buy?

[stoic gate]

U accepted ?

[hasty topaz]

Plots you mean the amount of elements and fuel right

At least 3 for fuel and 3 for elements

[tired pumice]

plot of lands i mean

[rotund reef]

Yeah, but I'm only on the seller side myself, so I love it. What I don't love, is 15 BPs that everyone has a chance to get. I don't think those will be worth anything, even years from now. As a player, I don't care about aesthetics, I'll wear the wackest skin in the game. 😆

[timber glacier]

The first 15 aren't meant to be worth anything, they're meant to be used to test that the system is functional before the release of open beta (as far as I understood it).

[spring void]

When would be the latest this week we would get notice of the upcoming 0.1.6 release Julien alluded to in the pinned post? They would likely want to announce it a day or so in advance right? So if we don't hear by tomorrow then likely won't release til next week?

[timber glacier]

Think the latest zero updates have come like 5 mins after the new update is available for download.
I'd expect the announcement for 0.2.0 to come in advance though.

[radiant sky]

Absolutely the Same mate, always playing with default or free to get Stuff 😂.
And yes, i also think the bp's aren't worth anything. They could have just let them out, less work for them. But i guess the whole process provides valuable data.

[radiant sky]

Originally they were meant as a goodie for the early Investors.
But yea, i guess you are right with the testing thing.

[hasty topaz]

Could u care to explain plz am new to this and sorry mate

[tired pumice]

you can just think of plot = land

so im asking if how many lands are you planning to buy

[hasty topaz]

Well for now just one i wan t to try it first

[tired pumice]

i see

T1 or T2?

[hasty topaz]

But I don't want to buy the wrong land

[tired pumice]

there is no "wrong" land i guess

just depends on your strategy

[hasty topaz]

I mean that there is land with all elements and fuel

And the spot of fuel or element separated not to near to each other

The place where this land or plot existing beside arena or not does it effect

??

This like that I would like to know

[tired pumice]

You can see what fuel/elements that are available in the plot before buying so you can pick what you want.

[tired pumice]

doesnt matter if the fuel/element source are near or far to each other

[tired pumice]

there's no effect if your land is near T5, but i personally think they would be more expensive in time

[hasty topaz]

If you buy a tier 1 can you upgrade it to tier 2

[hasty topaz]

I read that the extractor boost is effected they are both in the same range

And when you put the convertor too

And what does the colors I see means blue gray green

[vivid cipher]

Where are these colors? What are you looking at exactly?

[tired pumice]

that's the buildings you can place

[vivid cipher]

This pinned post has a lot of useful information regarding land. #🎮〕illuvium-zero message

[hasty topaz]

Am just asking in the maps the plots have different colors

And you guys in your opinion which the most important fuel

[vivid cipher]

The background colors indicate the tier of the land plot. The spots on the land plot indicate what type of resources are available and where they are located on that land plot.

[hasty topaz]

Thnx mate

[vivid cipher]

This tells you what they are for. #🎮〕illuvium-zero message

The goal is for the three fuels to have similar demand for in game use.

[hasty topaz]

Yeah I know I read them but I want your opinion which is the most important one going to be just an opinion

[vivid cipher]

I think many would say crypton for traveling. But I think Hyperion for curing shards. I think someone even said Solon for crafting, since so many people like skins.

You can use converters in the #🎮〕illuvium-zero game to change the type of fuel you have anyways. So it’s not super important what fuel site you have on your land.

[hasty topaz]

Mmmm I see thnx mate for your opinion and advices really thank you

[hasty topaz]

Any devices when buying a plot what to take care of and check always

Advice***

[vivid cipher]

https://tenor.com/view/nfa-illuvium-wink-ilv-discord-gif-23282501

[vivid cipher]

Know what the land looks like in game. Pick one that you’d be happiest to look at a lot while playing.

That’ll be a yes.

[hasty topaz]

Indeed I will

Thnx for all the advices mate

[random siren]

All fuels will end up being balanced. People just like to speculate

[inner haven]

Is it possible to mine more than 5 biodata, 15 facts and 15 blueprint for each land in "Illuvium Zero"?

Because I've made it this far

[tired pumice]

[little moon]

tier 1 crimson waste

[tired pumice]

ohh nice

[little moon]

tier one is the normal one right?

just double checked yea tier 1

[inner haven]

Will this stuff we've mined carry over to Season 1?

[little moon]

i think they said theres gonna be a wipe

[tired pumice]

nope

[little moon]

do you guys use your f2p land at all?

[tired pumice]

i dont

[inner haven]

I had heard that biodata and blueprints are transferred for the award

[little moon]

i think they said at the end of season 1 going into the beta some blueprints and data would transfer

[tired pumice]

In S1, there will be a chance to mint your blueprints

but in S0, all will be wiped

[molten kite]

nope, no really doing anything until S1, no point to it.

[tardy falcon]

Is there any plan to do away with the 'ok' button?

[vivid cipher]

🤷

The devs have certainly heard that players feel like it’s annoying

[tardy falcon]

coolio... prob not priority rn. Hopefully in the future it can just be pop up and fade without the need to click.

[vestal spear]

I hope so, I would get used to clicking OK then clear a plant and click OK to using a speed up for 11 seconds. AAArgh that bugs me!

[rotund reef]

LOL, yeah that thing is literally satan. It will be fixed, no doubt.

[whole spear]

I’ll ask @spring mist if it’s already been captured or planned

[atomic nexus]

Is it already acceptable 0.1.6 Update?

hey everyone, some news from the front: we are pushing 0.1.6 to next monday, we're a little late on the testing, but nothing critical. Just timing being weird tomorrow for the other teams, and we don't want to overlap with their processes 🙂 thanks everyone for your patience 🙏

[spring mist]

we're actively looking into why some players (including me ;_;) can't login at the moment, will keep you all posted!

[empty path]

No rush but I'm waiting

😏

[spring mist]

we found the reason, version check is acting up, I'll inform you when it's fixed!

[inner dune]

Do we expect it to be a quick fix now as reason is found ?

Next Monday is the 8th of May so probably start of Alpha Season 15th

[simple lance]

thank you both

[spring mist]

team is working on resolving the issue with login right as we speak!

honestly don't know, probably too much coffee 😬

[spring void]

Does this push 0.2.0 out another week from initial plan or is the 2nd/3rd week of May still the target?

[spring mist]

we're defo going for 3rd week of may, we don't want to push this back any further

[empty path]

Nothing official yet but target is May 15th

[hasty topaz]

Hello guys I was reading about s0 and s1 it said they are going to rest things like blue prints does any one know what they are going to rest

Do they rest for example the building you constructed and upgraded

[undone phoenix]

I will take this as a promise and hunt you down if it's not season 1 on may 15th (2023)

mark my words

[undone phoenix]

What does rest mean? I don't understand it

[empty path]

As usual I'm just spreading the information provided by the team.

[hasty topaz]

That's what I read

[undone phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/shrek-pitchfork-kill-burn-stake-gif-11227021

[hasty topaz]

Meaning the blueprints you have will go away except the one you make befor 2month of the end of season 1

[undone phoenix]

Yes

everything will be reset for season 1

blueprints minted in season 1 and beyond, are yours to keep / sell

[hasty topaz]

Oh so everything even building and what you extracted like carbons and this stuff

[hasty topaz]

Even building and upgrades

[undone phoenix]

Yes.

Everything

[hasty topaz]

Ok thnx for the info mate ☺️

[undone phoenix]

No problem. Good luck with the land

[hasty topaz]

Yes am going to buy a plot just waiting till the end of the month when I get my pay check

And thnx mate gd luck for u too

[undone phoenix]

Not to cause fomo, but prices would probably increase before, when season 1 start

[hasty topaz]

Well I hope I can buy now but can't

[hasty topaz]

I even noticed there were worth 5 days ago 540$ now they are worth 600$

That's T1

[undone phoenix]

Yeah. Crypto assets are expensive

[deep brook]

welp time to delist

[little moon]

lands getting more expensive?

i think i got my plot for 493, so dips do happen

[timber sapphire]

well were a lot of delays and people panic i guess

[tired pumice]

nice price

[little moon]

had to do a double take when i saw the price 😂

[tired pumice]

always. you dont want to pay 10x just because you missed some 0s or point

[little moon]

well either way would be nice to launch season1 before the end of may

[little moon]

is it possible to get every building to over 100% efficiency?

[craggy shoal]

[humble lichen]

that's cool thx fraggs

[slim wigeon]

Is there any plan to automate the extractors that they start running again after you emptied the depot.

I find it really annoying to double click each one if you play like 1 plot okay but for 20 and more plots its a faq torture 😅

[empty path]

Hmm don't think so

[tired pumice]

i think no. my storages, holo statues and scanners are only at 100%

[slim wigeon]

Remember that Johnny wrote they will change to at least 1 click to start them but I would hope to automate this.

Is there any statement of the team why you think clicking to start is better? We already have converters to click enough please make extractors start on their own after clicking on the icon. To get the gathered recources.

@amber atlas

[subtle shell]

Well. I think if everything runs automatically, then it's basically no longer a game, but a machine.

[timber glacier]

Auto-activating extractors would prevent me from ever upgrading them no?

[dire pier]

a lot of mobile games give automation to higher vip levels.. if someone with 20 plots wants to pay for automation, and the price is right, maybe it could make sense

could be a one time fee, could be a tax of 30% fuel output

[humble lichen]

or staking ILV (like a certain threshold)

[vestal spear]

Maybe 3 buttons, Max Fuel Profit, Max Blueprint Profit or Max Both Profit. You install the game, click the appropriate button and check back every year to see how much you made!

[dire pier]

staking is misused so often, and this would be a great example. forcing someone into what is likely a +ev move anyway (long term hold of ILV) and give them OP land as well is a bit silly. Doesn't generate any revenue, makes game seem pay to win, and puts web3 ponzi elements in the foreground

[slim wigeon]

Very good idea!

[slim wigeon]

You still need to handle the coverters plus farm the recources from extractors

[slim wigeon]

Why? You still need to farm the recources just don t need to tripple click it s just one click like in clash and many other games!

Also fuel still needs to be done manually so really think this should not be an issue at all.

[slim wigeon]

No you would definitly upgrade it s just one click to farm instead of 3.

[hasty topaz]

Does plots (lands)need reviving like other game

[copper inlet]

you mean like pokemons loosing health after the fight? Nope, there is no such a mechanic in Illuvium Zero You just build stuff on it to increase Fuel production, and to find blueprints etc

[hasty topaz]

Nice thnx mate

[subtle shell]

What's the difference between facts and blueprints again?

[copper inlet]

🙂

[subtle shell]

Oh, thx. So that was it..

[humble lichen]

lmao it's already a ponzi, it's crypto, but increase of rev is probably better yes

[rotund reef]

I think we have LOTS of time before things like this need to be figured out, thankfully.

[slender crown]

Has anyone reported the android bug that happens when battery drops to 5%?

Every 1% drop on the battery and the game resets.

Do plants continue to grow in order to earn more speed up credits?

[copper inlet]

Unfortunately not right now, team is working on WebGL version (in your browser) of the game, apple don't like project like our too much and it's hard to release anything there xD

[copper inlet]

Yes. As long as you have free space on your land they will grow daily.

Hi i have a sweeping bot in my metamask but i still hold illuvium land is there a way of sending it o transfering to another account?

[copper inlet]

totally, go to https://illuvidex.illuvium.io/account/profile
click on your land and look for this icon of paper plane

sending stuff on IMX is free so dont send/bridge any funds so bot cant get it

[devout tide]

wow this is awesome, at list one thing rescued 🙂

does it have to be metamask? what else is supported?

[copper inlet]

metamask is just like a browser for your crypto stuff, so i would still recommend using metamask (personal opinion, not OFFICIAL advice) but protect your funds with hardware wallet (ledger, trezor) connected to MM

[devout tide]

my ledger is comming friday, but for now i just want to send it somewere safe

[copper inlet]

MM is very trusted wallet and bot most likely got access to your account by signing some transaction you were asked for on some random website or your seed phrase was stolen

[devout tide]

my seed was stolen, dont want to use metamask until i get my ledger and reset my pc and widows

ok i have an idea i setup MM just on my phone for now

thanks for help

[empty path]

Not sure if you can connect to IMX on your phone

[copper inlet]

it may work but remember, before sending your land, you have to create new account on IMX, MM app has build in browser so i hope you can do it there

[devout tide]

ok ill have a go and see what happen

thanks again

[devout tide]

hey i have problem with transfering to gamestopwallet

Validation Error: Current user is not the owner of this asset

website says im still the owner of this asset

[copper inlet]

assuming you talking about Illuvidex? have you tried to clear cache/cookies? And have you connected gamstop wallet to IMX already?

also you can double check your old wallet on Immutascan if land is still there

[devout tide]

ok got it,there was a problem with 2 wallets in one browser

had to disable one and reload page few times

land was transfered so all good thanks

[copper inlet]

ahh, good good, dont want you to have any more problems 😅 you suffered enough

[devout tide]

dzierski what kind of nick is this? is it polish maybe?

[vivid cipher]

It's in #🎫〕verify-asset

[vivid cipher]

Not yet.

More info in pinned comments

[sonic whale]

Thanks for the feed back 🙂 any idea when it till start? im too excited. i kept seeing 1 week 1 week but that was last week

[little moon]

finally producing solon, crytpon, and hyperion!

[hasty topaz]

Hello guys am new in all of this i connected my metamash to the website then it start connection after Alot of permisión it showed ☑️ connected so now when I buy a land it will go right away to my wallet ??

Well connect to imx i think

[vivid cipher]

Yes. That’s sounds right. Just make sure you are connected to the right website.

Once your metamask wallet is setup to control a wallet on imx (which it sounds like that’s what you just finished doing) then you can make a purchase on the IlluviDex. You’ll see your nfts you buy on the IlluviDex. Not on ethereum mainnet or opensea.

[vivid cipher]

Sorry I don’t really know when it will be. The lead dev did say in the pinned message that it should be sometime in the second or third week of may.

[sonic whale]

ahh nice i did read that also i remember 🙂

[hasty topaz]

Will you be able to see it on your wallet

?!

[vivid cipher]

Not in metamask. No.

But if you look up your wallet address on immutascan you will see what is in your wallet

https://immutascan.io/address/0x9e0d99b864e1ac12565125c5a82b59adea5a09cd?tab=1&forSale=true

[hasty topaz]

Thnx mate

We only buy in illuvium.io right

In illuviumdex

[vivid cipher]

It is the most cost efficient place to purchase. https://illuvidex.illuvium.io/

Technically any immutable marketplace could be setup to include the illuvium NFT listings. But they would take an extra fee.

[hasty topaz]

Thnx allot mate for the info I'll just buy it from illuvidex it seems more secure don't want to enter in wormholes

[vivid cipher]

Tokentrove is pretty popular

And market.immutable.com is the standard IMX marketplace

[hasty topaz]

Oh ok nice

Is there a difference like get it cheaper on other places

[hasty topaz]

Like to buy it in this one

For example

[vivid cipher]

No. All the same things are listed in all of these places.

[hasty topaz]

Oh I see

Thnx again mate

[vivid cipher]

IMX shares its orderbook across marketplaces

[hasty topaz]

Nice

[vivid cipher]

But the marketplaces can charge an extra fee for providing their website service essentially. But the IlluviDex does not charge that marketplace fee

[hasty topaz]

Cool so illuvidex is cheaper hehe

Thnx allot mate

[little moon]

I've just been using IMX, because every transaction you make on it they give you IMX tokens in return so been saving those up . I'm also using gamestop wallet so not sure if its the same as metamask

[mighty hamlet]

illuvihub

[austere tendon]

Been away for while, when the new 0.1.6 is release, it's wiped?

No, it'll be a week after that with 0.2.0

if everything goes according to the current plan that is

[austere tendon]

Thank you for the information, finally got some land. That'll give me some time to find my bearings 🙂

[hasty topaz]

How could explain more mate

[vivid cipher]

IMX provides trading rewards for pretty much all trades. It’s like a kickback. Here’s an a post that talks about a specific event. But there’s pretty much always some rewards. #📣〕announcements message

[hasty topaz]

Thnx I got the idea. But sorry to ask too much i should make an imx wallet or how can you guide thru the process like can I do it by connecting my metamask over there ?

[vivid cipher]

You use your metamask wallet extension to control your wallet on IMX L2. It works the same on every IMX marketplace as it does on the IlluviDex.

https://medium.com/illuvium/57-how-to-buy-land-illuvidex-now-live-9b610e0fb682

This article has pictures showing the steps to connect to imx. But i think you said you’ve done that already. So should be familiar.

[hasty topaz]

Thnx allot mate really appreciate it

[hasty topaz]

Yes have done that I was wondering how it works in Immutable x

What's there official link plz you know this day you can never too much careful

Really impressed with what IMX has been able to do so far.

[low quiver]

From Juliens last message should be monday

[timber glacier]

Only that they will announce it in advance

[barren aurora]

@bitter glade @spring mist Could we get some up to date details on how fuel is currently planned to be implemented, lots of theory crafting and discussion regarding pricing, rails etc. Would be insightful to have a more up-to-date view of it's current internal iteration etc. I understand it's not final but gives people a bit more to work with. Cheers

[bitter glade]

We will put forward a proposal soon. The idea is no rails, but some content patches available to boost production if demand is high.

If demand is lower than supply things will just get cheaper. The player base should decide the price.

Also considering disallowing second buyers (non ILV:Z people, those just buying fuel from the pool) from selling fuel. Only converting to other fuels. This will stop a lot of speculation.

We can avoid arbitrage with enough liquidity. I have a crazy plan for that. But it wouldn’t pass.

[barren aurora]

I have some ideas for offering an Illuvium fuel bond for those who want to speculate. Pays out yield on the bond in the fuel the bond is derived from just as a traditional natural resource bond. Pricing of the bond based on yield and offers a passive inflow of fuel for speculative investment opportunity. Also nets upfront sales for revenue, not ironed out all the kinks but something I am looking at.

[bitter glade]

I’m incredibly sceptics about anything to encourage speculation without doing it through game actions.

[cerulean steppe]

But maybe some IL:Z primitives e.g. a Bank building that would allow us to sell financial products to a certain demographic that e.g. prefers a monthly fuel subscription in USD etc. ? Maybe this is what Josh meant.

[bitter glade]

I doubt the massive complexities of that make the effort even worth entertaining. If someone wants to consider the monumental list of variables please do.

[timber glacier]

I don't see a benefit to encouraging speculation on fuels. There's enough of it elsewhere (Lands, Illuvials, Skins, Blueprints, Shards, Equipment) and adding another level of speculation on the one thing that enables the game to function would essentially be akin to building a house of cards with fuel being the bottom layer.
Disturb the bottom layer too much and the whole thing will come crashing down.

[cerulean steppe]

Agreed, the only financial product I could see at the moment is one that abstracts away the fuel price fluctuation.

[weary bluff]

i forgot i had land

[barren aurora]

Ultimately if you don't want speculation on fuel, you could add something as above but depending on the final implementation it may not be required. Looking forward to seeing the details.

[teal mural]

In the future I hope they can make land a little bigger so we can have room for walls and buildings that’s are for defense…. Or have the walls and defenses floating so you can keep the land the same size. Looking forward to battling and taking ppl fuel.💪🏾

[hasty topaz]

Hello guys so when I buy a plot thru immutable x. You earn IMX does they give it right away and transfer it to your wallet or you wait a period of time ?!? Can you plz shine some light on the matter plz

[little moon]

Each day you trade (buy or sell NFTs) $10 USD or more of an Eligible Collection within the Immutable X protocol will result in $IMX tokens delivered to your wallet

[hasty topaz]

Nice

[hasty topaz]

It's say make sure you have your wallet registered can you do it with metamask wallet or u need to have an specified wallet for that

Or u need to have an account there ?!

[little moon]

I didnt like the format of metamask, so I am currenly using the gamestop wallet

[little moon]

metamask should still work tho

[hasty topaz]

So any wallet with eth block chain should work

Like phantom for example now it have eth block chain too

[little moon]

when you are on the imx marketplace it should pop up a list of supported wallets

[hasty topaz]

Ok thnx mate

[little moon]

metamask and gamestop should be on that list

[hasty topaz]

Oh yeah now I see it metamask is there

GameStop and Email

Thnx mate for the info

[little moon]

just use what you are comfortable with, you can always reasearch other wallets later

[hasty topaz]

I already have unused metamask wallet a now how to use it soon I'll do it thru metamask really thnx mate for the info

[little moon]

If you havent already, write down your recovery phrase on a sheet of paper, and never give that info to anyone

[hasty topaz]

Yeah sure I just have some forggeten token over that never used before lol

I have all in safe place

has anyone seem Nijafe's video on rails and how it could affect land owners?

[eager elk]

Hi Everyone
whats the update on the timeline on Illuvium zero official release ?

[radiant sky]

Nope, what did he say? In 3 sentences 🙃

[radiant sky]

Na, gona wait until they get out with the proposal on how they wana do it, before wasting time with speculating about Stuff that might be totally wrong 😅

But agree so far in the "rails Bad" statement.

Mhkay... Maybe i watch it later then.
But it's the Land owners in both cases for obvious reasons. 😂

But i still hope Aaron and his crew is gona come up with something Brilliant and im just Like "😲 thats Genius"

Could be a possibility. IlV stakers definetly don't stay silent on the side line, watching how their revdis decrease

It's a tough topic.
I'm normally for a free Market everywhere, it regulates itself... But then theres OPEC and shit, which Make me think itmight be better to have a set price.

[opal thistle]

There is a lot of speculation without fully understanding the whole scope or getting an in depth conversation with Aaron and the devs that came up with it to know their reasoning behind it. Also Aaron just said they will share a new model with no rails soon.

Season 2? You mean season one. Should be coming soon. First there will be a update to ver. 0.1.6

[dim bluff]

When is the new patch going to be live?

[hoary forge]

Very soon.

[dim bluff]

Is it today? 😅

[tulip perch]

well my IZ just told me an update was available but website still says 1.05

0.15

even

[dusty cobalt]

The website is going to be updated in a couple of minutes

[tulip perch]

fubarph standing by

https://tenor.com/view/goodluck-agent-salute-gif-12255669

[dusty cobalt]

you should be able to refresh the website

[tulip perch]

now say .016 💪

[timber glacier]

Oh, stuff is happening!

[timber glacier]

On the download page, see picture above

[whole spear]

Short patch notes essentially in the announcement, and on the release notes there where the download is

[gusty void]

They fixed 1 bug... they must be exhausted!

[lost walrus]

I still really wondering if you can get your land tier 1 to end level to create fuel without spending extra?

[gusty void]

Months...

[timber glacier]

no visible changes doesn't mean no changes though

[whole spear]

As the announcement says, internal tooling for the start of Season 1 as well

Glad to see you're happy about being closer to Season 1

[lyric hamlet]

[lyric hamlet]

We're happier with each day it passes from being delayed, yes sir...

[timber sapphire]

was the third week of may date for season 1 or 0.1.6?

[onyx rampart]

Is this the bug where switching between one plot and another causes the second plot to be overwritten?

[hard basalt]

when season 1 comes, can everyone play?

[timber sapphire]

no only those with plots

season 1 of alpha, everybody can play when we are in open beta

[onyx rampart]

Everyone who has access to this channel can play.

[timber sapphire]

no everybody who has acces to #🗻〕land-owner

[timber glacier]

Julien said this week or the third week of May at the latest for 0.1.6 (it's in pinned messages).
Seems they got it on the earlier estimate this time.

[onyx rampart]

Oh! My bad. I thought it was this one.

[timber sapphire]

yeah thought so, it can also be read that 0.1.6 is asap and season 1 for third week of may in that message thats why i asked

[timber sapphire]

i think this channel is open for everyone

[timber glacier]

Now that I re-read it, it may have been Season 1 for those estimates...

[timber sapphire]

lets hope so i cant wait

[timber glacier]

In any case, they've repeatedly mentioned it'll be about a week between 0.1.6 and S1, so hopefully next week we'll get another update.

[cosmic spade]

hi,
is illuvium zero playable on IOS start season 1?
or is there a date?
thanks

i‘ve no android device and play on pc is for this genre not comfortable

[timber glacier]

Think this might answer your question:
#814313779696238642 message

[rotund forum]

so what was changed or added in 0.1.6? At first glance I don´t see anything different?

[cosmic spade]

thank you!!
but unfortunately still no date

[empty path]

Holders channel for land owners

I can't decide that for you

[molten kite]

no land wipe associated with the new release?

[rancid lion]

https://tenor.com/view/its-happening-friday-gif-12932795

[hoary forge]

No but in the next one. Before season one starts

[molten kite]

there was a road wipe, can you do that in my city too! 🤣

[copper inlet]

interesting, you say you lost all your roads on the land? maybe worth reporting 👀

[agile sigil]

How many lands can you manage? for blueprint i want 3 tier 2 but in long run, i whould love a tier 3!

[molten kite]

good point, you still have roads?

[timber glacier]

Yup

Illuvium Zero Tech Update [05/01 - 05/05]

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

So as you've probably seen by now, v0.1.6 has been out for a few hours. Like the patch notes said, this is mostly an exploit fix and background tooling for season 1. Which by the way is entering its final testing phase! Our QA is verifying that all is fine with the season 1 client version, which will be 0.2.0, and we'll be validating everything else this week. This includes making sure that the backend data wipe works well, that there are no issues with brand new saves, and that login doesn't spontaneously breaks like last week

Otherwise, the devteam is still focusing on beta and blueprint minting:

• on the beta, we've done a whole lot of cleanup in our code, assets and even game feel. The beta will feel snappier, more responsive. We've removed a lot of unoptimized code in particular, which contributes a lot to this overall feeling. Can't wait to show this to everyone!
• moreover, @wild star is still doing amazing work on plot VFX. Today, a small sample of the Abyssal Basins
• on the minting side, we're moving fast. Our backend team is working on validation while we get the contract ready!

Thank you for the feedback during season 0, I'll keep you up to date on more season 1, minting and beta news!

And here's the vid because I suck at discord

hahaha I messed up the upload first time around sowwy

[radiant sky]

All good, you revived the leak 🙃
Does it just look like bright green, or is it gona look similar to crimson waste of it's done? Expected it to be more of a dark swampy kind of soup.

Glad to hear you guys making good progress, snappier is always great.
Are there already concepts out for megacities? Like, is it gona be 1 big plot, or all small ones attacked together? If i do a 2x2 do i have 4 builders for 1 Big plot, or 4x1 builders for 4 attached plots?

[spring mist]

• colors are still WIP in this vid, so expect them to be more swampy indeed 🙂
• we should be talking megacities this week so I'll have more info pretty soon! We're looking more at the small ones attached together at the moment, but nothing is set in stone. In any case, builder count will defo be dependent on the amount of plots

[hoary forge]

is there a plan for bring it to the playstore in beta version? i think the size of the file needs to be a bit more smaller for that. would be easier to update instead of download and deinstall and reinstall....

[radiant sky]

Thought so, probably way easier to do. Even tho 1 Big plot would look sick.
Would be nice if the builders can build in whatever attached plots they want. Like if i have a T4+3xT1, i can use all 4 builders on the t4 plot. 🙃

[spring mist]

yep, we want to start publishing on official stores. On the size regard, we've divided beta size by 10, and it should be even smaller with some more optimizations 🙂

[hoary forge]

but not for season 1 i guess. more for public beta, right?

[spring mist]

exactly

[hoary forge]

thank you for the hard work and all the weekly updates. great team you have.

[spring mist]

great community too

[hoary forge]

the best i ever saw.

[eager elk]

Hi

Do we have a release date for season 1?

[hoary forge]

soon 😄

[eager elk]

It will be a full reset right?

[hoary forge]

yes

[eager elk]

And is it a 2 weeks kind of thing or month?

[hoary forge]

read the pin post in this channel. thats all i know.

[eager elk]

Thank you Synix, I appreciate your support!

[eager elk]

I am sorry I didn't get it

[versed warren]

What is alpha 0 that just updated just final testing or can we earn anything now?

[hollow shoal]

Still testing

Full release for earnings will hopefully be Q4. Sometime late this year.

[tired pumice]

So we're still in Alpha season 0, and the recent patch v0.1.6 is the last patch before we go into season 1 where we will have a chance to mint blueprints into NFTs

[hollow shoal]

I wonder if we will have an influx of people for season 1. What’s the most lands people have managed successfully?

[cursive walrus]

Ok. So no real rush or urgency to get there. Just get your 15 blueprints some point in the next several months. Right?

[covert siren]

is it possible to get singularity scanner to 150%?

[vivid cipher]

No.

Keep the area around it clear for max efficiency

[covert siren]

so 100% is max?

[opal thistle]

ATM yes

[covert siren]

is there a max amount of singularity scanners can be build?

[rancid lion]

nope. only practically limited by having enough resources to run them... and you can fit a lot more than 4 25% scanners in the space that 1 100% one takes up

whoa when did that change

any cost change? that makes scanner spam ridiculous, it was already the "best" output

yeah no kidding

that's a really weird choice, kind of makes the entire point of the max efficiency when no buildings within X hexes pointless because it's so punishing to lose all of that real estate.

I will happily pay 2x as much elements to be able to slap in a bunch of fuel converters in that extra space and generate fuel

[wanton willow]

Care to share your strategy with silos and converters? I know it's in the picture but some of the buildings look a lot like each other

[wanton willow]

Thank you very much

[undone phoenix]

Where do you get this floor from?

[wary sand]

oh my b, I even looked around but didn't see one so I just figured it'd be here lol.

[wary sand]

the lowest priced one on the market. (if we ignore the region I guess it's more like... 8eth ish?)

[vestal spear]

Yes, 8.4E right now. There is a drop down above the map that allows you to see the floor for all the tiers

[wary sand]

Yeah, but again that's ignoring the region which... Is kind of important (at least in my eyes). Maybe other people wouldn't care idk. Not sure if people are even buying T4's lol.

[spark crest]

No point in doing paths around each productive building?

[vestal spear]

It is out of my price range right now, in the beginniong I have been looking at the region as asthetics. Now after more study I think if you are looking for blueprints having multiple regions that have different afinities is best. That does not really add monetary value to a region for me.

[wary sand]

Yeah, that's why I got abyssal basin, because the affinities. Nature illuvials are cool, tanky, and bad ass. Reminds me of vinesaur from pokemon.

[vestal spear]

There also might be some sense in having all your plots in the same region if the fee for moving resources changes by distance

I like having one Abyssal and one Crystal Shores it gives pretty good affinity on everything.

[wary sand]

That makes sense. They do have a pretty nice coverage on affinities.

[copper inlet]

have fun moving stuff around now xD totally new game huh ^^

we still in alpha 🤷 team do what they can to deliver cool stuff, UI with more info will come as well

its not mine pic xD not sure how math looks exactly but its way harder to find stuff with scanners (biodata) and stuff from scanners is needed for material labs, so you need more scanners to keep steady supply of biodata for Labs (i think, getting late here ^^ )

you find all biodata, you done with it, you can chill and process it in Material Labs

not really, biodata is very very hard to find, and you get only 3 blueprints as for now per biodata in this alpha

[timber glacier]

Biodata is harder to find than blueprints, and you will be limited to finding a blueprint once per land/wallet combination. So eventually you will be stuck on not having researchable biodata (at least for tier 1 illuvials, it might be a different story once higher tiers are released).

I can't login on the new version of Illuvium Zero, it tells me to fix the time (?)

[bronze prairie]

Can we finally mint our NFT skins in this version of the game?

Seson is started?

[livid bloom]

Any way to rotate the map so that I can make sure roads are connected around structures?

[strong pumice]

Same.. it’s difficult to see

Or top view

[fair temple]

Final patch and thereby final week before season 1 start!

[fair temple]

Should be added at a later date. I think you still have to work around that for now.

[livid bloom]

Dang.

[bronze prairie]

So the season just starts soon?

[sage bough]

Will the latest release run on Apple Silicon?

[little moon]

this is awesome

[proper void]

So do we get to keep the blueprints we find on Illuvium Zero yet?

[nova epoch]

not yet, this will start with season 1

(sooooooon)

[proper void]

I thought with early access we were going to get to keep them?

So the wipe that was scheduled for february still hasn't happened?

[lunar storm]

Yes 😄

[zinc cloak]

I thought you guys had massively reduced the size of zero to 160MB... but I just got prompted to download 1.6 gigs

[vestal spear]

I would move the building I was putting path around so I could see.

[livid bloom]

Why didn't I think of that?

[covert siren]

ohman im so hyped for the grind next week ❤️

[wary notch]

Anyone remembers where these original photos are?

[vivid cipher]

It’s in the land sale medium post. It’s Pinned in here.

[shell heart]

Lol wen season 1

[vivid cipher]

Sounds like maybe sometime next week.

[shell heart]

That would be awsome been waiting since mint lol

[zinc cloak]

Why was the download still 1.5 gigs instead of 160MB?

[true sequoia]

yeah, I didn't bother even downloading it....wait for final version

[amber hamlet]

Sorry, just wondering what you mean by "limited to finding a blueprint once per land/wallet combination"... ? I tried to scroll up for context but not sure what that means...

[vivid cipher]

It’s crazy how much things have evolved since then even. Blueprints weren’t even a thing. At least not as far as I can remember.

Definitely a long time

[vivid cipher]

You can’t keep using the same land in different wallets to find the same blueprint.

[vital creek]

Is the exchange of fuels for ETH or other token gonna be activated in the season 1 or not at all ?

[covert siren]

@loud crowlican sensei will the ingame shop be available when season 1 starts?

[empty path]

No

[vivid cipher]

Not in season 1. The only thing to keep from season 1 is blueprints.

[lethal wyvern]

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.

[timber glacier]

Once you find a specific blueprint on a land you cannot find it again on that land while it's linked to your account. I'll see if I can find the post detailing it.

[timber glacier]

@amber hamlet Found the conversation about it here: #🎮〕illuvium-zero message

[faint rapids]

So if this is the last patch for alpha , si this is the last timer ever that data are reset ?

[timber glacier]

No, it will reset one more time between Alpha and Beta.

[mossy sorrel]

so you can potentially send it to a different wallet and get that blueprint again? that doesn't make a lot of sense either..

and it would mean that there can be an unlimited amount of each blue print, in theory

[timber glacier]

I believe that's to not lock players out of finding prints already found on a land they buy from someone else.

[mossy sorrel]

still think that's the way it should be though, so we can limit the total amount of each blueprint to the total amount of lands

[timber glacier]

Yes, but if Biodata is also tied to the account, you'd still have to scan for it then research the print, so lots of extra work. (But still technically infinite).

[timber glacier]

Don't forget there's talk of making the find ratio of prints go down every time one is found

[mossy sorrel]

in a way, it's to reward early adopters.. and people who want those blueprints can buy them from those who found them. 20k is alot for a single blueprint already

[timber glacier]

rarity matters as well, chances of finding a T5 print will probably be extremely low compared to a T1

[mossy sorrel]

yes and that's fine, but potentially flooding the market with 100k of the low end blueprints while there are only 20k plots of land is bad imo

at least make them worth something...

[timber glacier]

chances are the find ratio will drop even for those, so even with 20k lands we'll probably never see anywhere near 20k prints of any one type

[mossy sorrel]

people who buy land after will have the chance to get future blueprints, of new illuvials that come out, i think that's incentive enough to buy

[timber glacier]

also, keep in mind that a lot of lands will be making fuel, not blueprints

[mossy sorrel]

depends on how the adjust the ratio... which would also mean, blueprints will be capped at around 20k anyway... or at a certain amount.. except it wouldn't be bound by land, but by active plots... that i guess i can get behind.

[mossy sorrel]

i'm going to have to guess that T4 lands will go all out on fuel, where as the lower tiers will be mainly for blueprints, and maybe a combination of both for T3

[timber glacier]

I'm pretty sure Jeremy stated that the ratios for higher level prints will be set that some prints may even only be printed once (or not at all)

[mossy sorrel]

or at least, that's how i'm planning to use my lands... ofcourse depending on the details on megacities

[mossy sorrel]

I think that would be silly... making is a really low chance with a hard cap somewhere would be better i find

[timber glacier]

Yeah, I think higher tiers produce far too much fuel to sacrifice space for making prints.

[mossy sorrel]

yeah, would also depend on how much fuel is worth compared to the blueprints..

[timber glacier]

That is a good point, too

[mossy sorrel]

if all the fuel i produce in a day with a T4 is only worth 10 cents, i might as well try my luck with blueprints

[timber glacier]

We'll probably see further on which direction development takes on this

I don't think they're capping season 1 prints in any way (besides a short enough minting window so you can't transfer lands and make multiple prints off one plot)

[coarse valve]

beta version will be 160mb

[mossy sorrel]

beta? or alpha S1?

[pearl sparrow]

I have resolved my "please check your internet connection" error.

it was being blocked by my smart firewall. I disabled my anti virus and was able to get the capcha.

[fair temple]

Previous update talked about Beta being 150 MB with all assets. 3d pinned post.
Not sure why this may not be added in the alpha but I expect it to take significant time. I would rather have the team push out a big working lump sooner, than polish it for another 2 months being smaller but featuring the same gameplay. 🙂

[coarse valve]

Beta. Check again Julien s message

[mossy sorrel]

for sure.. but i think the release of beta will depend more on the development of the overworld rather than ILZ itself, i'm assuming we'll have plenty of time to polish the game before the release of beta anyway.

[covert siren]

how will u guys use the credits for speed up building?

[mossy sorrel]

you get the most value when you use it when there's 1 hour 59 mins remaining

either that or use them before bed to start another long upgrade

[foggy tangle]

Does remember details works as expected now?

[copper inlet]

i believe it was fixed few updates ago, so this option should totally work (its working for me at least)

[covert siren]

so when u start playing next week the first credits u use are when time is around 1h 59min?

[mossy sorrel]

it'll be between 1 hour and 1hour 59

[zinc cloak]

Dude, you just did what no mod or team member could do. I asked this question 3 times, each time mods selectively did not answer it, instead answering questions before and after my comment 😂. I dropped it in the ‘ask anything’ channel, thinking FOR SURE it would get a response there… again mods answered questions after it. Absolutely wild. Thanks man!

[coarse valve]

It's understandable because they can't take the risk of answering without being 100% sure. I have the advantage of being a no mod or team member lol

[zinc cloak]

I’ll explain how this works!

“Hey! Great question, I know there are a lot of moving parts, regarding this update, let me check with a <insert department > team member and get the best answer I can for you!”

Selectively ignoring questions is never the play.

[subtle shell]

Is one data bank per land plot enough or is it necessary to have several of them?

[tulip perch]

Well I have 4 they increase research efficiency I have 4 data banks and 2 mat labs the databanks help my mat labs run at 150% eff

[subtle shell]

I honestly don't think it's related. As you can see, my Material Labs are also running at 150% and I only have one data bank.

[tulip perch]

interesting

maybe wen open beta they will become more important

[compact copper]

Hello all, IS there a plan to give some advantages (like some ressources AT the beginning) for people who have played to alpha Season?

For example % based on the level of the player then it will help to build faster

Cause it should be normal to give a small boost to OG

[copper inlet]

nope, everyone start at the same fair level, alpha players from Season 1 have opportunity to collect unique blueprints

[compact copper]

What do you mean by unique blueprint?

There is some unique pièces available only for players who played alpha?

[copper inlet]

-during the Season 1, players can find biodata and research blueprints out of them. Before official launch of the game they are going to be minted as NFTs. And after launch you can produce skins using blueprints and burning illuvials
-about "unique" part of my answer, now i have some doubts xD i meant that they will be avaible to find only during this Season 1 BUT now i think i could use some double checking with <@&795142782133207063> or community, if someone reads it i know for sure xD

[dry mango]

it has not been confirmed whether blueprints mited during the alpha period will be exclusive to that period

but given that they are made as a benefit something different from the others they must have

[vivid cipher]

Aren’t they the same 5 illuvials and the same blueprints that we’ve been getting in #🎮〕illuvium-zero alpha so far? Those are all tier 1 illuvials. So the blueprints are tier 1 blueprints. Based on tier 1 illuvials that have had their biodata scanned.

[paper lance]

announcement said commencing shortly.so any minute now?

[compact copper]

Why there is a prebeta After thé Season 1?

[vivid cipher]

PB1 stands for Private Beta 1. Not pre-beta.

It means that it will still be for land owners and not the open public.

[dusky lava]

quick question that wasnt clear from all the convo here (im sure its been asked a million times lol)... At the current state of Zero there are 5 illuvials that can be found, 25 facts and 15 total blueprints?

[mighty hamlet]

do we know how many months season 1 will last?

[copper inlet]

if everything goes as planned, then till official release witch is planned for Q4 this year

[opal thistle]

Or a little bit before to let land owners have some time to develop their land before Public release. But that is not official and yet to be determined

[mighty hamlet]

and after that our lands will be wiped again?

[copper inlet]

correct, on official release, or as Tholky said, a tiny bit before

[sterile raven]

Is there any news on if Illuvium:zero will be on iOS devices?

[copper inlet]

this is the latest info i have seen:

[copper inlet]

i will steal this answer from @fair temple 🤣 cuz i wasn't sure no more xD and i bet he will tell us "Facts" number in like 1 minute as well

[dusky lava]

tyvm both to you and Garf 😛

[fair temple]

It was 5 facts before but should be 3 facts per Illuvial now.

[mighty hamlet]

At what level have you guys reached before you were able to get scanners?

[sudden zinc]

Where can I find some more infos on blueprints? If I have a blueprint I can mint it for free to an NFT and afterwards sell on marketplace, correct?

[mighty hamlet]

Also for the people with multiple land plots, how do you expect/figured out how you’ll manage all of them? My concern isn’t so much the waiting for upgrades, it’s the constant collection of elements in order to have enough for those upgrades. I can’t wrap my head around how it’ll be manageable for ppl that own 2+ land plots

[timber glacier]

Around 120-150, didn't note down the exact number unfortunately...

[mighty hamlet]

Also do you ever think they’ll implement the auto collection of elements and fuel from the extractors? bcos you have to physically collect it before it goes into storage right?

[fair temple]

Yes. During season 1 you will find biodata and thereby blueprints through playing the game.

The blueprints will initially be regular data but once the minting process is ready, you will be able to mint a blueprint on the IMX L2. The exact minting process isnt shared yet. It should be mostly free, but you may have to spend some fuel as per the lore to either create the blueprint or research the biodata.

Once the blueprint is minted, it will be added to the Ethereum blockchain as an NFT that can then be traded sold on the market or used in the illuvium ecosystem at a later date. (Think Open Beta or maybe Overworld beta 4 orso [unconfirmed])

[sudden zinc]

So make sense to find as much as possible of bio data…😉

[fair temple]

Yes next week or whenever season one starts is the time to grind some biodata and blueprints!

[sudden zinc]

Via Scanner I got biodata. How do I get then blueprints?

[fair temple]

The singularity scanner scans for the biodata, and the materials lab allows you to research each biodata.

You will likely have 2/3 common biodata and then 2 very rare ones

[faint rapids]

Does season 1 mean never again reset ?

[fair temple]

Season one means the alpha version where the game mechanics are balanced around constant gameplay.

The game will be reset at least once more before the open beta (Q4)

[faint rapids]

Ok ! And iOS will be good but not in Europe ?

[fair temple]

IOS will not be featured in the near future. I think the team plans to have a webGL version ready before the open beta though to allow you to play even on IOS. The apple store has stringent regulations for web-3 games.
You can still play on the computer though! :p

[mighty hamlet]

Is zero available on android rn?

[copper inlet]

yes 🙂

[spark crest]

So what that means for iphones? We will download some kind of unofficial app?

[empty path]

For iPhones, the team is working on a browser version of the game

[fair temple]

So you play via the browser rather than through the app store.

[spark crest]

So that means we wont get any notifications, right? Otherwise should be same like android

[fair temple]

Same thing as games such as Runescape was back in the day. they now do have an app in the stores lol

I do indeed think that you will miss out on notifications.

[ancient olive]

Does zero still have the bug that you can move a single power station around to get max efficiency only when you click update/complete extractions?

[dense flax]

Moving lands between accounts will reset the plot?

I moved my plots to a different wallet and all my plots are reset.

[copper inlet]

if you send it to another wallet, yes, right now it would be reset but after official launch buildings will persist

[dense flax]

Cool, Thanks for the info.

[teal mural]

👌🏾 because I’m bored ass hell at work and need some Zero in my life lol

[quaint prism]

Super excited to play ILZ again once Season One starts! I have my plot outlines planned out, and looking forward to seeing the different layouts others have

[heady spoke]

Season one gets everybody’s bases wiped right? And start generating valuable blueprints once we get to that point?

[undone phoenix]

Correct

[heady spoke]

Thank you ser 🤝

[wanton willow]

There are no notifications in android right?

No audio either so far, not in pc nor in android

Because alpha I guess

[fair temple]

Havent played the mobile version myself. So i wouldnt know.
There shóúld be audio for the game however.

[vivid cipher]

I definitely bought a cheap pixel 4 to play zero. And that’s it. Don’t use it for anything else.

[wanton willow]

I can't hear nothing in pc or mobile 🤣, need to check later

[teal mural]

I just might do that. Hopefully my wife understands that I need a 2nd phone to play an investment game 🤣 and not to act up

[vivid cipher]

Yeah I did have to answer a few questions. But she got it.

[orchid isle]

pixel 4 works fine @vivid cipher

[vivid cipher]

Yeah. I like it. I got a refurbished one. The glass backing likes to try and peel off but I just press it back on and keep playing.

[orchid isle]

do we have an idea if it will be able to use it for the foreseeable future?

[teal mural]

Just talked to her, she was being funny saying who’s the nurse or doctor I’m trying to talk too ( so many women working in the hospital 🤣 ) but she was cool with it

[flat eagle]

im just getting incorrect password or username when im trying to login, any suggestions to fix? changed my password still getting the same massage.

[opal thistle]

Looking awesome 👀

[hollow siren]

so is S1 live yet?

[tired pumice]

not yet

[hollow siren]

eta?

[tired pumice]

not long now

We should be getting a s1 start date any day now.

And start date hopefully start of next week 🤞🏻

[hybrid walrus]

hello, can anyone please tell me how blueprints are created? i can scan for illuvials and see the biodata but no blueprints

[timber glacier]

You need to research them using a Materials Lab

[hybrid walrus]

thanks will look for materials lab

[narrow oasis]

Do I understand this correctly; IAP will be enabled for Season 1 (in order to push the race for blueprints) and then there will be another wipe before beta, thus rendering the progress from those IAP to zero (aside from the blueprints gathered)?

[timber glacier]

No. IAP will be on Open Beta, not Season 1.
Source: #🎮〕illuvium-zero message

[golden orchid]

Anyone has any insights as to why listing percentage went up to 10% recently? 🙂

Also, does anyone have any estimates/prediction on potential earning capacity of each land?

[spark crest]

Probably because of season 1 coming in week or two

[golden orchid]

Shouldn’t it have gone down though? Since people wont want to sell before utility comes in?

[spark crest]

Or they wanted to flip and they were waiting for reason to price increase

[narrow oasis]

I see this though: #1023666069061247116 message

IAP for Alpha

[timber glacier]

That quote is from dec 2021, the one I linked is more recent. I'd believe the more current one to be correct.

[golden orchid]

Price dropped… i remember it being 590 USD each a few weeks ago

[timber glacier]

Eth value have dropped in last few days. Land prices is still roughly the same in Eth as it's been over the last few weeks.

[narrow oasis]

Sorry when I click your link it doesn't lead to a specific message. Can you copy-paste link of the message?

[timber glacier]

#🎮〕illuvium-zero message

[narrow oasis]

Ah yeah I did read that, I misunderstood it I think, thank you @timber glacier

[golden orchid]

Oh thank you! How do i determine the market price of a plot? I got some plots but am not sure if its considered as balanced

[timber glacier]

Apparently. At least for now. They might change their minds on that if the models they come up with doesn't do what they're expecting, or if it hurts the early game too much.

[timber glacier]

Yeah, the details we were given seem unneccesarily complex compared to just dropping the boost radius of power stations from 6 to 4 tiles. This would cut the fuel production of endgame converter builds by about 30-50% (didn't do the actual math yet, just an estimate), while maintaining relatively small drawbacks for early game resource converters for instance (most notable on lands that are missing one or two resource types).
That is if changes have to be made to power stations at all.

If the issue (as I understood it) is the relative production between Converters/Extractors (at least according to last update on the matter from Julien), then it should be far easier to just tweak numbers on either of those types of buildings.

[radiant sky]

Maybe they don't really want to influence the gap between Tiers with that change, but rather try to make it not as easy to build up the unbalanced low Tiers as it is right now.

[dire pier]

that's a good point, hamster. i'm guessing including it in the beta was a typo and its going to be phased into the alpha

like it's a change that hasn't happened yet but is something that needs to happen, so he adds it there not realizing what you just said is a huge issue.. it's near the end of the list right? maybe it shifted from 'beta' to stuff not in working version of alpha but needs to happen asap

also gives you plenty of time to push for a better version of the fix. Changing the boost like you said seems simple/effective

[golden orchid]

Thank you for the tips fam! Do you think all lands will appreciate in value once S1 and $FUEL generation begins?

[ocean haven]

The idea is that generally all plots within a tier should be fairly equal. Plots with balanced resources are a bit easier to play though.

[ocean haven]

its straight from the team, they literally said same tier plots will be fairly equal or they will rebalance it

[blissful storm]

just have some common sense... how could a perfect plot be equal than totally unbalanced one? If the team have to rebalance to "make them equal" why not have perfect plots all around then? 🤷‍♂️

[mortal smelt]

I thought there was a wipe?

Am I missing something?

Nvm just saw the pin

[dire pier]

were you close to running for Game Council, hamster?

[ocean haven]

the team said same tier plots will be fairly equal, so i agree have some common sense and ask the right person 🤣

[blissful storm]

https://tenor.com/view/james-franco-wait-what-wut-wtf-nani-gif-25479769

[blissful storm]

you understand if that were to happen people are gonna start dumping, right?

[ocean haven]

if you ask the right person? shiiit crypto is crazy huh

[blissful storm]

and can you link a reference to "the team said" because I certainly cannot recall this

[blissful storm]

@bitter glade @amber atlas it looks like "the team said" same tier plots would be fairly equal (e.g., perfect T3 fairly equal than unbalanced T3). And that the team would balance the plots to achieve this.

Any comments on this?

[ocean haven]

i think it was johnny, but its like 6 - 8 months ago probably

yes it was before first release, i havent had time to keep up since new year more or less. i just know thats what they stated earlier

[dire pier]

The dao is having elections for a few subcouncils, Game being one of them

[naive owl]

Any date for season 1? Shortly is not a date

[dire pier]

you would end up making impactful choices on game design and speak directly to the devs

Weren't many candidates for Game, you probably could have made it.. not sure how long the epoch is, but i'll alert you next time

The council votes on the IIP's. If an IIP passes, it's basically like handing an assignment to the devs

[potent dock]

No date set.

[ocean haven]

I see, so the state of the game right now favours balanced plots. it is still alpha so guess they can still achieve it before it goes live. sounds like i should try some of the new updates, then again s1 should be right around the corner 🤞

[covert siren]

are there benefits upgrading matirials lab oder singularity scanner?

[timber glacier]

not until higher tier illuvials and blueprints are released (so not until beta)

[ruby perch]

Hey guys quick question regarding the land when is the reset ?

[fair temple]

no date set. what I took from what was said was: The team hopes to have it done at the quickest 1 week after the latest alpha update (so during next week), and by the latest around the third week of may (so the week after). But that's the roadmap for when nothing crazy bad happens

[golden orchid]

Do you think all lands will appreciate in value once blueprint and $FUEL generation begin? 🙂

[fair temple]

Fuel generation is tied to the launch of the game. Blueprints will be the sole things that will be added to the next season of Illuvium Zero.
The blueprints of season one are more of a collectible/gift NFT that aren't rare if everyone were to play the game.

Once Fuel generation begins, all three games will be close to finished and lands will become the foundation of the entire ecosystem. Yes, that will probably impact the value of lands. (lands produce 5% of the in-game currencies used to progress in the game on which the DAO basically bases its own 95% production.)

[golden orchid]

Will the DAO sell $FUEL?

[ocean haven]

im not sure why either.
i see what your saying, it dos not make lot of sensne, if they want same tiers to be balanced, not let people have access to swap for the fuel/resources they need.
haven't tried the market place, but was it not supposed to make up for it?

[fair temple]

what happens in the current idea of fuel sales is that the lands produce a certain amount of fuel, and put that in the balancer pool of respective Fuel/Eth. The DAO then mints an amount equal to 19x of that and also puts that in the pool. so 19/20 fuel comes from the DAO and revenue goes back to the ILV stakeholders.

[granite tartan]

So DAO is going to sell the Fuel permanently, or only initially and when fuel price goes more than 25% form initial price?

[fair temple]

I'd recommend watching this one by Nijafe. (sad that he adds a political tinge to it, but it is pretty educational 😄 ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iCL7bMz_Rg
It goes over the 25% rails. I personally think that the rails will be changed to an open-market type of thing. Aaron said in the last Town Hall that he was having concerns around the Fuel mechanics which were one of the final things that kept him up at night.

It is a topic that lies at the very base of the entire economy, and it is something nobody has every done before. It has to be perfect to balance the entire project on top of it 😄

[granite tartan]

So every day DAO is going to add 19x of the fuel produced by all land owners to the pool just selling it for ETH or how is it going to work?

[fair temple]

Did you also listen to the debate he had with Vetemor?
In there, Vetemor argues that you could get a speculatory aspect to fuel if Fuel becomes worth more when demand is high and less if players play less.

If you take Nijafe's idea of game prices being pegged to dollar costs, the value of Fuel, with their low market caps, will become highly speculative and easily manipulated.

So i think a true fluctuating price of game-progression would make more sense. Maybe it will cost 20$ to buy an Atlas. If people value Atlas that highly, then the fuel value will rise as well as people will buy more fuel and try to catch more Atlas since it is profitable. This will bring atlas values back down and by the same logic, Fuel as well.

[fair temple]

The moment that you put fuel into the pool from your land, the Dao will add 19X that amount and I think you would get 1/20th of the entire value of that clump in eth back. That would make the most sense to me.

[granite tartan]

So the game will need a really huge demand to not make the fuel price come to zero in that case.

[fair temple]

What if you only produce 20 fuel on a day with one land, and it costs 5000 fuel to travel?
Then you dont need a huge demand. The numbers would just be very skewed :p

[quiet hare]

Eternal spring on a T3 land is the lake buff correct?

[granite tartan]

So my revenue is going to be a few cents a day. I don't think that one travel if going to cost $500 for me to get my $2 per day

[glacial frigate]

is IZ supported on IOS or is it only android?

i know it was only android as of alpha1, but was wondering whether it has changed with the new releseas

[copper inlet]

this is the lates info we have so far:

source: #🎮〕illuvium-zero message 🙂

[fair temple]

yeah it totally depends on the demand by the playerbase. 🙂
But if there are 1M players, then the cost only has to be like 1$ for you to get the 2$ per day orso (random numbers xD). It's basically 5% of all in-game revenue going to the landowners. and then you have to check which fraction of the lands you produce and that dictates your share of the in-game revenue.

[fair temple]

they can easily add events that add or decrease x% fuel production on lands in a certain region. If things go too fast they add a 10% fuel reducing rainstorm in alternating regions and otherwise add productivity by up to like 60%.

After the 60% is reached they can then allow for the next landsale to be held or something 👀

it would be OK for the lore as well: The good weather, and the ease of access within the regions has allowed our drones to uncover new land! blabla

[spring void]

Yea the 5% of the pie going to land owners and 95% to stakers never really made sense to me. Shouldn't the pll who are generating the fuel be the ones to get compensated? It's the whole point many ppl bought land. I could see it being 50/50 but 5/95 doesn't make sense and I'm curious to see how land prices fluctuate depending on demand for fuel. If landowners spend $10k+ on a tier 4 and only earn $5 a day that's a Big L

Also I'm in favor of no price guardrails. Let the free market decide the price. If you want to limit speculation and lrice manipulation then I think Aaron said something about limiting fuel to not be sellable on the open market and only within game. Not sure how that would actually be implemented tho

[fair temple]

Sorry it got longer and longer as I went LOL
Yes it will be difficult to estimate how many players will adopt Illuvium, and the price may blow up if there are no guard rails. If then the price is so high that people can't get in, they have to spend 50$ for a run, it may turn away a lot of players. which may result in the DAO making adjustments, but the people already leaving. The same is true the other way around, but less problematically. You can get the NFT's very cheaply, which allows you to play the game, and that will increase interest because you can play a cool game for basically free right?

With my meager calculations, solely taking the production boost as the stat to determine the output of a land, T4 lands produce 1/3d of all the fuel of the previous batch. As you said before, T4 lands will probably be boosted within a few days, which means that it would not necessarily take months to have the land ramp up. Planning the sale in advance based on user acquisition should not be too difficult, especially if you market the introduction of new lands and thereby a period of expected fuel-overflow -> Lower prices for runs.

I do agree that the 1:19 ratio may upset the landholders and I have thought about increasing the percentage that goes to the landowners whenever new lands are sold. But then the same issue would be true for the ILV holders who would then get less revenue. It's the same issue on both sides. So in that case, Lands should have a clear extended use-case to make up for the decreasing revenue that they get from fuel production. This could be in the form of NFTs that are forged on the plots or otherwise. You can't halve the revenue of fuel from lands without a clear replacement. (game 3?)

The difficult mechanic of Lands is that they are a drain of the revenue for the project, without (I think) a clear design that leads people to put the money back in. You buy land once, and will then indefinitely be able to pull money out of the project. Now that isn't a problem, but the team may have to change this once the landowners have seen enough ROI.

[radiant sky]

5$ a Day for a t4 would require a huuuge playerbase, don't expect that in the first year. But yea i feel ya, 5% is pretty low. Don't buy Land to Profit with fuel. If you wana Profit with fuel buy IlV. Land is basically just about the BP lottery for now.

[indigo cloak]

@radiant sky Why is ILV more profitable for fuel? Is it just because selling fuel increases the value of staked ILV?

[radiant sky]

I actually have to do the math first but i'm already in my Way to sleep 😂, but Land hold their price better than ilv, and when ilv was arround 68$ you would have produced more fuel for your Buck out of ilv than any t Land.
The dao gets 95% of all fuel revenue, it's 5% for the landowners.

[spring void]

Specifically replying to land owners being a drain to the project: its the same thing as ILV stakers. They suck it all out via rev dis just disproportionately. Also, isn't buying land conceptually comparable making an investment in a company that then pays dividends later. Those investors have thr option to take the money and use it elsewhere or reinvest into the ecosystem. I don't see how ILV token stakes should be disproportionately compensated when the land holders are the ones who who made the larger upfront investment. (I own both btw just making my case for fairness to land holders)

[fair temple]

I actually added ILV in my message but before I sent i removed it.
Because ILV holders, if they hold, actually increase the value of ILV and thereby increase the spending power of the treasury. So, yes the money flows out of the project but at least they add value to the treasury's tokens if they hold :].

[spring void]

Also, there are other sources/opportunities for revdis that ILV stakers have access to but land holders don't: merch store, illuvitars, IAPs. Land holders get a mere 5% of what their sole purpose was for being made and then blueprints which is a big unknown perk. Limited to the future other revenue generating operations and limited in its own purpose (fuel).

[spring void]

Well holding doesn't technically guarantee increased value. The value is determined on the margin of whatever a buyer and seller agree to exchange it for. Holding creates lower liquidity which can act in the other direction too and cause a big drop in price if no buyers step up.
