Chapter 2 of 11

Plots, Island Levels and your builder

Your island has eight desks. Desk 1 is ready from the start. Your builder opens the other seven, raises your Island Level and builds your power, one job at a time.

#Desks and plots

Each plot holds one desk. Plot 1 (desk 1) is open from day one; plots 2–8 are builder jobs and open in order. Every new plot comes with a basic desk set (desk, monitor, keyboard and mouse), so a PC has somewhere to sit.

A plot’s price is not the same for everyone: it is $5 + $1 per 100 H/s of your island’s hash record, its highest H/s ever, so a bigger island pays more (see Prices grow with your island). Plots only need an Island Level, never a power level.

#Island Levels and the Island Hall

Your Island Level shows on the island as the Island Hall, which grows from a builder’s hut into a grand hall. You start at Island Level 1, with plots 1–2 and power up to Level 13. Island Level 2 opens plot 3. Island Level 3 opens plot 4. Island Level 4 opens plot 5. Island Level 6 opens plot 6. Island Level 8 opens plot 7. Island Level 10 opens plot 8. Only Island Level 11 is optional and adds bonus only. The intermediate levels are prerequisites for later expansion. Each Hall upgrade also needs the open plots shown below.

#Your builder and the queue

  • One builder, one job at a time. Jobs are plots, power levels and Island Levels.
  • Up to five more jobs wait in the queue behind the one in progress.
  • You pay for a job when you queue it.
  • Queued jobs can’t be cancelled: they are already paid. The Island Hall says so next to the queue.
  • Change the order of waiting jobs with the arrows. The job in progress keeps going.
  • When a job finishes, the next one starts by itself, even while you are offline.
  • Each job is the next step of its kind. With Power Level 2 in the queue, the next power job is Power Level 3.
  • Gates look ahead. You can queue the next Hall upgrade after its required plot, then the next plot after that Hall. Their prerequisites must be ready in that order.

“All desks” is every plot plus the Island Levels that open them. A max island also has Power Level 13 and Island Level 11. Each job is priced at your island’s record when you queue it. Builder time runs on the game’s clock, so it keeps going while you are away: keep the queue full and no builder time is wasted.

#Prices grow with your island

Builder jobs don’t have one price for everyone. Plots, power levels and Island Levels cost a base price plus an amount for every 100 H/s of your island’s hash record: the highest H/s its PCs have ever reached together, its all-time high. Every complete PC on your desks counts, switched on or off, at its full speed; bonuses don’t count. The record never goes down, so switching PCs off or taking them apart never makes a job cheaper.

  • Plots 2–8: $5 + $1 per 100 H/s each.
  • Power levels 1–13: Levels 1–4 $5, Levels 5–9 $12 and Levels 10–13 $30, each + $1 per 100 H/s.
  • Island Level 2: $5 + $1.50 per 100 H/s.
  • Island Level 3: $10 + $1.50 per 100 H/s.
  • Island Level 4: $3 + $1.50 per 100 H/s.
  • Island Level 5: $3 + $1.50 per 100 H/s.
  • Island Level 6: $3 + $1.50 per 100 H/s.
  • Island Level 7: $3 + $1.50 per 100 H/s.
  • Island Level 8: $3 + $1.50 per 100 H/s.
  • Island Level 9: $3 + $1.50 per 100 H/s.
  • Island Level 10: $3 + $1.50 per 100 H/s.
  • Island Level 11: $3 + $4.50 per 100 H/s; optional bonus upgrade.

A job’s price is locked in when you queue it, and you pay it then: a job in the queue keeps its price while your island grows. Prices are rounded up to the next cent.
