Okay, my fingers are tired and eyes are bleary. There could be many typos because I have no energy to fix it right now:) I have been looking through the Splinterlands land data after the latest update 1.75 pushed on March 18th. A lot of the dynamics were changed with the introduction of new resources, iron, wood and stone. Lots of land owners are trying to optilize their resource distribution because they must.
During the usual scramble due to the lack of easily consumable public data @aggroed asked the following question on discord:
What I'm looking for a is a little different. I want to know for all of PRAETORIA how much PP is currently PRODUCING each of these different RESOURCES.
Vugtis was able to provide the answer immediately almost, but the data was not publicly available in a easily consumable format. So I took the challenge and with the help of @beaker007 we have a publicly available solution in place. This is a work in progress and still very new, so please let me know if there is any error you found.
Data is collected from here: https://splinter-lands-initial-setup.streamlit.app/region_metrics_page
There is a lot to digest here from this simple table. Mind you this simple table is a sum of a lot of data manipulation, which I will summarize as simply as I can. First, a little background:
🌲 NEW RESOURCES – Build, Harvest, and Thrive!
• Wood, Stone, & Iron are now essential building blocks for land productivity.
• Worksites are now terrain-dependent, meaning careful planning will be crucial—check the whitepaper for full details!
• Grain worksites on incompatible terrain will auto-convert into Wood, Stone, or Iron upon first harvest, ensuring every plot remains valuable!
Previously, our land plots were only generating grain as the only available natural resource; the other two types of production were SPS and Research points to farm. Now, it turned out that in order to operate SPS mines and Research Huts, we will need these 3 new resources. Trouble is in the beginning, none of that was available. So a few things happened:
It is easier to describe how much iron, wood and stone is needed to harvest is by using an example. Since I do not have any research hut turned on at the moment (I am full-on generating natural resources), I am going to use one of @beaker007 's research huts.
I am using https://baronstoolbox.com/ because it has wonderful displays.
As per the whitepaper:
Every 1 base Production Point spent per hour toward production will consume
0.005 Wood
0.002 Stone
0.0005 Iron
So 5000 base PP will comsume per hour the following resources
Wood = 25
Stone = 10
Iron = 2.5
That's all there is to it. If you harvest in once a day, you multiply that by 24. Once a week...you get the idea.
Looking back at the first plot: looks like Grain plots are where most of the cards are, but only by about 60% higher.
However, as per whitepaper:
Grain: 0.02
Wood: 0.005 1 Wood = 4 Grain
Stone: 0.002 1 Stone = 10 Grain
Iron: 0.0005 1 Iron = 40 Grain
Current total production are not anywhere near that. How do we explain it?
Ok. Now I will show you how each of the natural resources are distributed across regions.
In each of the four plots below,
I am going to stop here, because I am doing this for upward of two days. I need to get out and get some fresh air and perhaps hit the gym.
Please let me know if you have any questions and need any explanations.
