Greetings, Freyfolk. The past couple of days have been wild. A swarm of doubts, questions, and issues went around and shook the community. However, each of these concerns were also answered with assurances, answers, and solutions. We are dedicated to serving the community to the best of our abilities. The Freyfolk can expect more changes that will come soon, but one thing will remain immutable. We will still be here.

On another note, the long-awaited development updates on plots have now arrived! Before you proceed, feel free to refresh yourself on the basics of plots:

Plots of Land: Live in the Freyala World and Build Your Home

What is a plot? What are its attributes?

Navigation and Plot Filters

The Plots map just got even better with the integration of zoom and panning features. Moreover, the plots are now easier to navigate because the plot positions are shareable via links!

You can now classify the plots according to its Neighbourhood, Fertility, Crime Rate, and Level.

Visual Updates

The Neighbourhoods received a visual texture improvement to make them more distinguishable when compared to the other plots. Have you represented your Neighborhood well?

The XYA Emitter

The secret of the XYA Emitter has been leaked amongst the Freyfolk. Many plot owners took this opportunity to bring the powerful machinery to their richest plots.

Yes you read it right; the plot utility is now here.

How does it work?

After paying a one time fee of XYA-ONE LP Token, plot owners will be able to purchase and install their own emitter. These fees will be added and locked to the current liquidity.

The emitter will constantly dig for riches, rewarding the plot owners with a handful of XYA. 75% of the rewarded XYA will be locked on the plots treasury.

The emitter will have a base emission rate of 4 which can be further increased by upgrading the plots.

Plot owners can level up their plot by paying a small XYA fee or by using treasury funds obtained from the emission rewards.

The small XYA fees paid for leveling up will go back to the reward pool.

Paying by using treasury funds is 3 times more expensive than paying directly with XYA. 50% of the paid XYA will be burned and the other 50% will be returned to the reward pool.

Each level will increase the base emission rate by 4.

The plot attributes also play a role in leveling up.

For every 3 fertility, the base emission rate is increased by 4.
For every 2 crime, the base emission rate is decreased by 4.

YIN and YANG Plot Treasury Adjustments

The YIN and YANG plots treasury has been adjusted based on the mint price of the plot converted to XYA added with the 750 XYA airdrop that the YY plots did not receive.

Conversions:

440 YIN | 430 YANG = 125 XYA
880 YIN | 860 YANG = 250 XYA
1760 YIN | 1720 YANG = 500 XYA

YY Plots Treasury:

Plots with 440 YIN or 430 YANG now has 875 XYA in Treasury.
Plots with 880 YIN or 860 YANG now has 1000 XYA in Treasury.
Plots with 1760 YIN or 1720 YANG now has 1250 XYA in Treasury.

New Plot Attribute: Defense

We have added a new attribute in preparation for the raid update. Every plot will start at 1 point of base defense which can be further increased by staking Freyala ecosystem NFTs or by building various structures on the plot.

The negative effect of the crime rate can be decreased by adding defense to a plot — every 1 point of defense results in 1 point decrease in crime rate.

The emitter will clog after emitting 100 XYA. Players will have to unclog the machine by collecting the XYA manually.

Sample Calculations

A Level 4 plot has 4 Crime Rate, 7 Fertility, 1 Defense.

crimeScalar = floor [(crime_rate — defense) / 2 ]* baseEmission
crimeScalar = floor [(4–1) / 2 ]* 4
crimeScalar = 4

If the plot defense is greater than the crime rate, the negative effect of the crime rate is nullified. In this case, since the crimeScalar value is 4, and the base defense is 1, the crime rate will negatively affect the emission rate.

fertilityScalar = floor( fertility / 3 ) * baseEmission
fertilityScalar = floor( 7/3 ) * 4
fertilityScalar = 2 * 4
fertilityScalar = 8
levelScalar = level * baseEmission
levelScalar = 4 * 4
levelScalar = 16
emissionRate = baseEmmission + (fertilityScalar + levelScalar) — crimeScalar
emissionRate= 4+ 8 + 16󠀠 — 󠀠󠀠󠀠󠀠󠀠4
emissionRate = 24 XYA / DAY (18 in the Treasury; 6 unlocked)
