Tokenomics and SOPH Tokens 💰

The SOPH Token is integral to SophiaVerse, providing both financial and gameplay utility. Players can earn, spend, and stake these tokens in the SAIL game to impact various game mechanics. $SOPH will be seamlessly integrated into puzzling and exploration and it is vital to the ever-expanding feature set of customizable gameplay within SAIL. The Soph Token can be bought and staked to “Charge” Activity Stations and unlock higher access levels of robust game mechanics and novel applications. In addition, $SOPH will be used to purchase accessories in Soph’s Customizer, the Accessory Marketplace, and in the various shops around the Lab. In the future, curricula will be written and the Soph token will serve as the reward for Learn2Earn gameplay.

Facilities and Facility Management 🏢🔌

Understand the intricacies of the SophiaVerse game structure and how to interact with it effectively. From the hierarchical organization of the game’s facility to the dynamic elements like Energy Management, Access, and Light Control, you’ll find all the essential details here. Mastering these components is crucial for progressing in the game, as they impact everything from your ability to explore new areas to the strategies you’ll employ for resource allocation.

Facilities Overview

The structure of the facility within the game is organized hierarchically as follows:

• Regions: These are broad areas within the game world (e.g., SAIL1, SAIL2).
• Rooms: Specific locations within a Region (e.g., SAIL2 Main Lab).
• Areas: Subsections within a Room, including adjacent spaces (e.g., a library area containing a bookshelf bay and adjacent table).
• Bays: Enclosed spaces that house specific systems, usually secured behind doors.
• Systems: Individual functional devices within Bays.
• Applications: Specific use-cases of Systems.
• Moveable Objects: Items that can be relocated within the facility.

Facility Management Dashboard

The gameplay hinges on effective Facility Management, which involves:

• Energy Management: Vital for powering various functions within the facility.
• Access: Required for entry and unlocking levels of privileged functionality.
• Light Management: Allows players to set the ambience within the facility.

Energy Control

Energy management plays a crucial role in the functionality of the facility. The game features multiple levels of device powering, from completely unpowered states to overdrive modes. Players manage power through storage, allocation, and production mechanisms. Sophia, the robot character, has her own internal energy economy that players need to manage.

Soph Server Energy

Sophia’s energy budget, represented by Soph Power (SP), needs to be carefully allocated among various activities. Different levels of “The Womb” provide varying amounts of SP to use per day.

Facility Power Storage

Your main power source initially is the UPS Battery. As you progress, you can upgrade the battery’s capacity, and you’ll need to manage its energy to avoid emergency shutdowns.

Power Allocation and Production

Players must allocate power to various facility components, with the possibility of upgrading the maximum power levels for different bays and systems. Your battery recharges over time from generator modules, which also can be upgraded.

Access and Security

Various methods are available for gaining initial and elevated access to different systems and bays, from discovering written codes to solving puzzles and completing quests. Players can unlock additional functionalities by elevating their access privileges, either through gameplay or by using SOPH tokens.

Light and Ambiance

Light management adds another layer to facility management, enabling players to create different vibes by controlling the type, color, and brightness of lights. Advanced lighting and holographic visual options are available for players who wish to use SOPH tokens.

By successfully navigating these elements of Facility Management, players can unlock new capabilities, improve their gameplay experience, and advance through the game’s storyline.

Marketplace and Shop 🛒🛍️

SAIL and SOPH Shops
