I woke up today I open binance app and see new listed coin $CHIP which is still in green mode but I change my mind to write article for @Pixels campaign.
When I first started playing Pixels I thought owning land was easy. You get a piece of land grow some things make it better. Then you can make more stuff. That is what I thought was the thing.
Then I looked closer at how the different areas of land work and that changed everything. Pixels divides the land into types like forests and deserts and each type makes different things. These are not different amounts of the same thing they are completely different. This make a difference in the games economy but a lot of people who own land do not realize it.
In games where you own land the better land is always the best choice because it makes more stuff. After a while this gets boring because everyone is trying to do the thing.
Pixels is different. A piece of land in a forest is not always better than a piece of land in a desert. Each type of land makes things that're worth different amounts depending on what people want to make. One time something might be easy to find and cheap.... Then something changes, like a new update and that thing becomes really important so everyone wants it. This makes the land that makes that thing very valuable.
The land itself does not change,. The economy around it does. This is what a lot of players do not understand. They think of their land as something that always makes the amount of money so they do the same things every day and do not think about whether their land is still making things that people want.... Really land is like something that can change value depending on what is happening in the economy.
Players who understand this play the game in a way. They pay attention to what thingsre hard to find and they watch how peoples desires change. They think about how new updates might affect what people want to make. Their decisions are not just about making their land work better they are about what's going to happen in the economy.
For players this is not obvious. When you start the game it teaches you things, like planting and harvesting. This is easy to understand. It does not tell you that what you are making might not be worth anything.
You can spend a lot of time making your land work better. Then you might find out that what you are making is not what people want. You are still getting some money. You are not getting ahead. This is where a lot of players waste time without realizing it.
Understanding how the different areas of land work helps you avoid this. You need to know that the value of your land is not fixed it changes depending on what people want. You need to do things every day that fit with what people're making not just try to make your land work better.
These are not things that you learn at the beginning of the game. Some players figure them out by talking to players and some only realize after they have been playing for a long time without getting anywhere. The way the different areas of land work is a part of Pixels but like any complicated system it rewards players who take the time to understand how it really works.
