pseudonyms: Plants, Validators
The universe will operate via Reactors, uniquely combining lore, gameplay, and network administration. For our community this mean that as long as players want to play the game, the system will continue to run.
In addition to the structures that can generate power through player calculated actions, Reactors provide a constant supply of power to hungry immobile structures.
Reactors will be indestructible and serve a very important purpose - as the in-game representation of network validators.
Factions will centralize around their validator(s), with guild members showing their support via a delegation of their energy to the validator.
While new players will come in and build their own factions, run their own validators, and build any supporting tools and interfaces to fit their narrative, we will also use the detailed Coindroids lore to seed the universe.
At the core of our universe is a purpose-built blockchain, created using the Cosmos SDK. This gives us incredible control over the player experience, and allows us to build a universe operated by the very players that enjoy it.
Operating Reactors will not be necessary for all players, but will be a rewarding experience for those with a technical background. Guilds/Groups/Factions/Clans/etc will find it quite beneficial to operate Reactor(s) as their central point of their operations.
It's coming. We're doing a lot of iterative development on the backend system right now, so it would be a huge pain in the butt to constantly coordinate network upgrades. That said, if you're interested in running a node then make that known in the discord server!
