Are you invested in Land?
Land 1.75 up was dropped on March 18, 2025. It's been 16 days since then, and as this was a major update, people are still adjusting to the changes. I published the overall card staked PP graph first on this post. The data presented on that plot is not 10 days old, and there is significant change in the pattern how resources are distributed with respect to card PP. I am publishing the same plot today to compare so that we can quantitatively understand the change.

Observations
You may think that group behavior of people are difficult to predict and analyze over large set of data; but it is not true. Sometimes it is very clear.
- Overall Raw and Boosted PP both increased
- Meaning people staked more cards and boosted their production with totem or naturally
- Each of the natural resources got a boost
- Meaning people turned on more plots or put higher PP cards on those plots
- SPS and Research got a 'downgrade'; about 12%-15% lower PP were put on those plots
You may say that this is only 1% overall boost in interest, but that translates to about 6.1M PP. For the record, my main account currently hold 8M PP. So you got about 75% of a whale in-game cumulatively. I am going to take that as a small win.
Where do we go from here
Our handy resource website show, all natural resources are trading below their theoretical value. This is no surprise to me. As, so far there is no utility of land. We know for a fact, if you give people anything new in this environment, people will just sell, and they did. So the price is down.

There is hope that with Conclave Arcana launch, there will be new utility to land. Until that hope is realized with an announcement, I do not see any price increase of any of these resources. Since my land position is heavily unbalanced, I will be taking this opportunity to load up on resources as I see fit. I have already stocked about 1 year worth of grain. I like for all the resources to come down in price, so that I can load up my truck.
