Blockchain Fundamentals
We are strong believers that Web3 will encourage emergent gameplay and unlock a new realm of possibilities around ownership and fun!
Every single game item in Sunflower Land is stored on the Blockchain - this includes seeds, crops, tools, skills, clothing, food, expansions, achievements and much more!
This creates an environment where players can have ownership of their in-game resources and opens up the possibility for our open source community to build experiences on top of these publicly available Blockchain tokens!
While you play the game, all of the resources you gather reside in a temporary game server. When these items move to the Blockchain they became NFTs, SFTs and ERC20 tokens that can be owned, transferred and traded.
We are a Web3 game and encourage players to store their progress on chain as frequently as possible. This ensures that total supplies, on chain leaderboards and Web3 services all have access to the latest game data.
Storing your data on the Blockchain also adds an extra level of security to your items.
When players reach a certain limit of items, we require that they store these items on the Blockchain for security and to ensure our on-chain supply reflect the real time game.
You must store your data on chain if you wish to use your items in Web3 only islands such as Goblin Retreat. These islands only read the data that has been stored on the Blockchain
To store your data on chain, you can click on Settings > Store Progress on Chain.
You are not charged any additional fee to store your data on chain, only the transaction gas fees for the Polygon Network
As of May 3rd 2023, Bumpkin Analytic data is no longer stored on the Blockchain. This significantly reduces the gas price for storing your data on chain. The team are working on public APIs to make this information accessible to open source developers.
If you want to withdraw, trade or craft rare items you will need to visit Goblin Retreat. This is a decentralised island that requires all actions are submitted directly to the Blockchain.
If your items are not on the Blockchain, they will not appear at Goblin Retreat.
Progress will not be lost if you do go to Goblin Village and perform an action without first storing data on chain.
Sometimes the network is busy, this means that the gas fee might be higher than normal. You can always check this via https://polygonscan.com/gastracker
If you are struggling to submit a transaction due to in game errors you can try the following:
First , click on the Site Suggested, when the Metamask window pops up
This will allow you to edit the gas fee, Try using aggressive as this may fix most problems.
In most cases this will fix any problems, if not. Then please consider trying to reset metamask by clicking settings - advanced - reset account
If this does not fix any transaction problems, then try clearing your cache, resetting your device and failing that ask us in discord.
