What is a Power Source?
Power Sources are required to allow cards staked on land to participate in Resource Production. Currently, two Power Sources exist. Runi and Power Cores.
- Power cores run on Dark Energy. They do not deplete the staked DEC that comprises Dark Energy.
- Runi do not require Dark Energy to be staked for that particular plot.
- Runi are NOT subject to a 3-day cooldown once removed from land.
Can I purchase a Power Core?
Power cores can be purchased with 5,000 Credits, DEC or DEC-B. Follow the steps in this article: How to Purchase a Power Core.
**Accounts that purchased the Building in a Box Starter Package are automatically granted power cores.
**Dark Energy Crystals will be burned by the company whenever Credits are used.
Can Runi act as a Power Source?
Yes. Runicore can act as a power source on land. They do not require DEC to be staked to fuel that particular plot
- Review Managing Your Runi on Land for a step-by-step guide.
-
Runi must be delegated to your Hive account before they can be used on land. Staking them on land does not require any additional Ethereum transactions.
-
Runi will provide a 100% PP boost to the base production of the entire plot. This is equivalent to a Legendary Totem and can be combined with a Legendary (or other rarity) Totem for even more increased benefits.
-
Plots that have both a Power Source and a Runi are granted an extra worker card, for a max of six workers instead of 5.
- Runi counts as a normal max-level Legendary worker card for the base production points, but only one Runi card can be used on each land plot.
