Full Guide to Managing Your Land

1. Staking DEC/Dark Energy

Staked DEC or Dark Energy is required to fuel your power core. For the smoothest experience with the Mavs release, we recommend that you begin by staking Dark Energy to the region in which you own land. After staking cards and items, you may adjust the amount of Dark Energy staked. 

• When staked, DEC becomes Dark Energy at a 1:1 ratio. It may be staked instantly.

3. Add a power source or Runi to individual plots.

In order to begin the process of managing your land, you must stake a Power Source to charge your workers to your plots.  Both Power Cores and Runi are power sources. While Power cores require staked DEC or Dark Energy as fuel, Runi do not.
