Land & Reveal

Land is an NFT​

Each cell is a Land NFT with a fixed place on the world sphere (see The World). Owning the NFT makes the cell yours to reveal, build on, mine, and route through.

Revealing a cell​

A fresh cell is dark — its contents are unknown until revealed. Revealing permanently materializes the resource deposits hidden beneath the cell, generated deterministically from the cell itself. The same cell always yields the same deposits, so reveal is reproducible and not a gamble you can re-roll for free.

  • Your first reveal is free (you pay only transaction gas).
  • A revealed cell shows its deposits, which you can mine by building an extractor and starting a mining job on it.

Provisional How many deposits a cell carries (fixed, random, or rarity-weighted) is still being tuned. In the current generator, each resource is sampled independently, so a cell may carry more than one deposit.

Re-revealing depleted land​

Once a cell's deposits are fully depleted, you can re-reveal it to generate a fresh set. Re-reveal:

  • Costs $CPU (the first reveal is free; re-reveals are paid — see the Reference).
  • Is only allowed when the cell is depleted and no mining or craft job is running — a mining job that ends at deposit depletion clears itself, so this is normally already true by the time the deposit is empty.
  • Fresh deposits start from zero, so there's nothing to harvest retroactively from time that elapsed before the re-reveal.

Provisional The exact "fully depleted" trigger and whether re-reveal cost stays flat or scales with reveal count are open balancing questions.
