Farsite

Farsite is a blockchain powered sandbox massively multiplayer online (MMO) real-time strategy (RTS) game. It has the elements of adventure in a science-fiction setting based on a post-apocalyptic story.

The gaming universe of Farsite is formed by Constellations containing stars, each with unique set of planets. "Homestead" is the first Constellation where all players start the game. By using some Credits, players can travel between Stars on spaceships following interstellar paths in faster than light modes, performing some social media tasks can increase your scores to get a powerful starter ship.

Technology Used

Farsite is built using a mix of distributed ledger technology. The game also features Collateralized Digital Assets (cNFT) which is a proposed standard for ERC-20 collateral staking on non-fungible tokens (NFTs) Most of the in-game operations and trading will take place on Layer 2. Farsite will be open source and open to anyone who wants to play and contribute to the development of the game. It will be available to anyone with a web address and can be played by anyone with an internet connection.

Environment

Within the Farsite universe, Constellations play a central role. Only 4 to 5 Planets will be explored on the start of the game. Exploring a Planet will open its Sectors for acquisition and reveal resources spots and deposits. Sectors are a part of a Planet representing a construction site for a Base. These contain valuable resources that can be extracted using special buildings on the surface.

The ownership of a Sector can be traded or transferred to another player with all the contained Resources and constructed Bases. The construction of Stations can only be done by a player or a Corporation and requires a lot of resources and credits. Without a Station in a Star, players will need to fly to another Star to perform these transactions and require credits. All planets in the 'Homestead' Constellation will be available for colonization. There are 8 to 10 known Planets, unknown Planets and dead Planets.
