Farsite is a new MMO RTS webpage game that runs on blockchain technology and is currently in Alpha phase. It has a player-controlled economy, with players owning sectors to create NFT (Non-Fungible Token) ships and modules.
It's a futuristic space game, where humanity has moved to the stars to collect and fight over valuable resources. With the use of many different size, model and type of ships; you're able to travel around the universe by passing through gates, to move from system to system. Each system is unique with a different range of the number and type of planets. Some of which will allow you to buy a parcel of land called a sector. Depending on the size of the planet, your sector can have 1-3 specializations, which will determine what kind of base you build. Each planet has a specific set of resources and if you choose to build a mine as 1 of your roles, you can began gathering those resources.
There are 5 specializations that you can build on your sectors, with their own values and costs. The first being the mining facility to collect the resources from your sector. Second is a refinery, needed to process some of your raw resources into materials. Third is a factory, where your resources and materials are crafted into components. Those components are used in the creation of your modules and ships, which are the fourth and fifth specializations. So, depending on what roles you wish to pursue, there are many paths to riches.
Besides gathering resources from the planets, each system can have a number of respawn able asteroids that you can mine with a ship if you have the correct modules. And special events with comets will also offer valuable resources to gather the same way.
All resources are tradeable on the market for credits. The markets are accessible on space stations, which is where all your ships are docked. Currently there is only 1 station, in the HOM system, with 2 more scheduled to be released in the coming month. But in the future, players will be able to construct their own space stations under the right conditions.
The game is currently in alpha phase, with beta projected to be available by next year. Which means only certain aspects of the game are available. Such as, completing tasks for free airdrop items, buying crates (kick starters to ships, items and credits; limited amounts), buying sectors (limited amount available) and building specializations on said sectors. you can gather resources, trade, flying around the universe to move resources or mine asteroids and start working on building your ships and modules. The universe is currently a safe zone with no fighting. But with the release of beta, the war breaks out. At which point your valuable ships can be destroyed by other players, or maybe it will be you doing the destroying and collecting that loot. It's still a work in progress, with all the issues and quirks that come with that. But if you are someone who likes to get in early. Now's the time to suit up, grab your pickaxe and start building your empire. Hope to see you out there, in the stars.
