Power Sources: FAQ

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

• 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.

  • How to Manage Your Runi

• 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.

  • Totem and Title Production Boosts
  • Land Production Boosts - Land Type
  • Production Points Per Card Rarity

• 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.
