Land & Specks
About Pixels Lands
There are 5000 NFT Farm Lands made specifically for the game Pixels. They were minted on January 31 2022 for 0.06 ETH to players of their Play-to-Mint. Top 2000 players of the Play-to-Mint could purchase 2 lands, and everyone else could mint 1. 200 Lands were kept in reserve.
Top 101 Players of the Play-to-Mint also received a Golden Rake.
Land NFTs have 7 traits: Size, Environment, House, Tree Density, Windmill, Coop, and Silo. Every land comes with a Quonset Hut which is essential for storing the land's surplus. Surplus is a percentage of resources used on a farm land. (Not a tax, but it's like extra generation from a player utilizing an industry on your land). Since Pixels is a growing game that proudly boasts building in public, trait values change in importance as things change within the game.
Land owners can also place industries, decor, and other items on their land to make it more attractive or more useful.
Lands are not necessary to play the game, but it opens up a new avenue for players. Being a land owner also has its own perks at times.

On top of traits, Lands go up to Tier 4. So you can place industries from Tier 1 to Tier 4 on the land.
Land Space is determined by its size and limit. Each land has limits for Producers, Crafting, Pet Care and Business Industries
Surplus is set at 4-6% (4% on the lower end of the level and 6% on the higher end)
So if you have level 100 Mining, you get 6% surplus from Mining on land. (same for farming or forestry)
If you have level 0 Mining, you get 4% Surplus from Mining on land. (same for farming or forestry)

Settings
Every NFT Land has its own access settings. A land owner can add a builder or manager to its land, make the land private, or give a guild access to the land.
You can do all of these things at the Gate which is located at the entrance of the land.
Land Access Settings: A Manager has rights to do everything on a land, except access storage chests. They can remove/add industries or decorations, access surplus or change settings of the land.
A Builder can add items to a land, but cannot remove them (though if they placed the item, they can still remove it). They cannot access surplus or manage settings.
Giving access to a guild makes the land locked to everyone except players in that guild (You can further limit this by setting it to either Pledgers, Supporters, etc.)
Ownership of Items on Lands
Whoever places an industry on a land (or a decor) is the person that the item will go back to when it is removed.
Common Complains are seen that this doesn't apply to the Pixel Board or the Christmas Tree. Remove your stuff before you lose access to a land you don't own!
Also stuff in the house is kinda hard to get back if you don't have access to the land (˶˃⤙˂˶)
Ronin vs Ethereum
Lands on Ronin can be purchased on the Ronin Marketplace, and lands on ETH can be purchased on the Ethereum Chain via Blur, OpenSea or any other marketplace available
There is no difference between the lands on ETH vs Ronin except the chain where they're located
Land Rental
You can rent your land out if you're not using it, or you can rent a land for yourself and you'll be deemed a land owner. If you do list your only land, you will lose land owner benefits while the land is listed.
Land Rentals are most popularly done on LootRush, but reNFT is also an option [though not as widely used]
After you've rented a land, you should see it in game immediately if the right wallet is connected. If you've rented out your land, you should immediately lose access to it in game, and another player will then have access. The other player will not get builder or manager status.
