We are strong believers that Web3 will encourage emergent gameplay and unlock a new realm of possibilities around ownership and fun!
Most game items in Sunflower Land are stored on the Blockchain.
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 withdraw items/resources you acquired in the game. These items/resources may not appear for withdrawal without storing on chain first
To store your data on chain, you can click on Settings > Blockchain Settings -> Store 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.
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
In most cases this will fix any problems Then please consider trying to reset metamask by clicking settings - advanced - reset account
If this does not fix any transaction problems then try to: - Clear your cache - Reset your device - Try a different RPC https://cointool.app/rpcServer/matic - Ask on Discord in Help section
Gems are also used in other parts of the game such as expansions and auctions. Gems will have more future uses.
This will allow you to edit the gas fee, Try using aggressive as this may fix most problems.
Gems are used by players predominantly for restocking their seeds and tools. When a player runs out of seeds or tools, they are able to restock their quantities. Using Gems to restock will not only replenish the resource selected with quantities, but it will also replenish any other seed or tool that is below the max quantity/out of stock. As such, it is advised to use Gems once all your seeds and tools are bought/sold out. To purchase Gems, players currently require Matic.
