# Overview ## The Community Based Farm Game. Farmers Community, a farming game developed to work on the blockchain is finally here.\ It's a relaxing, teamwork-based farming game where you own your farm and earn $FCT you can use to buy more assets for your farm OR convert into MATIC to earn. The main feature of the game is that the lands do not have to be bought like other NFT (Non-fungible tokens) games, the game can be played completely free to earn. The way NFTs are used in this game, is to make your farm more attractive OR give yourself some upgrades to make farming easier. The game NFTs reside on the Polygon blockchain having low GAS fee's, when you buy a NFT, it's yours forever to keep or sell. Unlike other farming game's everything you gain or buy is yours and you will own it.\ In the game you can place these objects and can give you some benefits making it easier to maintain your farm. Earning $FCT tokens (distributed to players every month) can be used to obtain/mint new NFTs from the shop. You can sell the bought NFTs (f.e. on OpenSea) or convert your $FCT into MATIC any time you like, and start earning with it. ## Mission Building a game where you do not have to own a piece of virtual land to earn money, but building a game where even a fun farming simulation game can earn you something extra while playing by utilizing blockchain technology. ## Vision With passion for game design for over years we thought it was time to make something utilizing blockchain / NFTs, getting investors in while we build the game in our free time to hopefully work fulltime on the project eventually. Our goal is to create a sustainable game that will have their funds from NFT sales and advertisements in the game on display objects for revenue that will be used as treasury for the players. We take a small part for development just to make sure we can work on the game, while the biggest slice goes to the players and investors of the game. **- The Farmers Community Team** # Whitepaper ## Here is our whitepaper!

The Farm is your own piece of land, where only you can place, remove, sell and buy. \ Everyone who join's your farm, can interact with you and others on your farm, but cannot change your farm. \ \ It is your choice of how you wanna shape the farm, with the available items you can buy with \ in-game currency or with the NFTs you own. \ \ Every farm holds 2500 small squares to be filled with objects, this limit has been set in the alpha stage of the game and is subject to change depending on the needs of and votes of the playing farmers. # The Land ## The land you can work with. Every farm holds 2500 pieces of land, these small pieces are 1 meter by 1 meter.\ You can fill these small pieces of land with plots for your crops, animals, decorations, or anything else that will be provided. \ \ If you want to be a top player, you should make sure that you have everything filled with a strategy. As you can only carry X amount before you need to sell, and you do not want to keep running back and forth over your whole farm, loosing precious time. There are items (like the Storage Shed) that need more pieces of land then just 1, having more of these objects will fill you land pretty quickly, so make sure to not overdo it (unless it is your strategy) # Neighbors ## Help your neighbors. One of the fun thing's you can do is visiting other players, and help them watering or fertilizing their crops, feed the animals or just relax together while fishing. It gives you an small benefit when people join your farm, but it also benefits the people that are joining others. Making sure when people need to wait for their crops to grow, they can join someone else and help out on their farm in the meantime. # Fishing ## Lets fish together. Fishing is one of the skill's you can do any time, and also on your neighbor's land.\ This will provide you extra score points, and a little bit of coin.\ \ Fishing on someone else's land will provide the farmer, on the land you are fishing also extra score points and a little bit of coin.\ \ **For example:**\ \- You fish on your own land, you get 3 coins for a successful catch, and 10 score points.\ \- You fish on someone else's land, you get 2 coins for a successful catch, and 8 score points.\ \- Someone fishes on your land, you get 1 coin for a successful catch by the other person, and 2 score points. # Mining -More info later- # Cooking -More info later- # Task board -More info later- # Early Access ## Get in Early, have a head-start! You like our project and can't wait to play ? \ We provide early access to the game only by owning a Little Red Dragon: \ \ \ You can obtain them though OpenSea or mint them directly at our website:\ There are only 1000 of them available! If none are left on our website, the only way to get them is by a secondary market like OpenSea from other people. ## Why Early Access NFT's ? We need funds to get the project from the ground, and so we can add liquidity and treasury for players to earn.\ The only way at this early stage is to reward the early investors with a NFT that will provide them a first look at the game, and will provide them something extra for when the game is fully released! (We will not spill the beans yet) All profit gained from the sell of the Little Red Dragons will go into liquidity, creating a stabilized coin at start to. ## How long will Early Access last ? The game will be in development till at least 2023 before it leaves early access.\ Our roadmap now is to have Early Access - Alpha ready near the end of Q2 2022.\ And have Early Access - Beta ready near the end of Q3 2023. Yes that is more then a year of developing! We are a small team, when there is enough funds to hire new team members and speed up the process, it will be the first thing we will do! # NFT Inventory ## Animals Animals will generated in game items like milk, wool. Which will provide more in game coins and score over time. ## Avatars Pick the avatar you like to play with, avatars do not have any profitable traits and are purely cosmetic. ## Buildings ![](/files/nb6K4uRSStWwyTl4nzP6) Buildings can provide traits for your farm, this can be extra storage to hold more items before selling, a mill to turn Wheat into Flour, etc. ## Decorations Decorations give no traits, these are just cosmetic to make your farm look better or unique. ## Plots ![](/files/yT5UBzjcWafcljfTTUrC) There will be different type of plots, but the plots will be limited! Owning a lot of plots can put you higher in the ranking as you can add more crops on your farm. Some plots also can have beneficial traits like less watering or fertilizing need, faster crop growth and more. ## Worlds Worlds are purely cosmetics, everyone will have the default world for their farm. But if you want your farm to be on Mars and show-off your awesome farm to the community, you can change the layout of your world by holding one of these. # Traits & Stats ## Water Needed If a object needs water this trait can reduce that need for water based on its level. ## Fertilize Needed If a object needs to be fertilized this trait can reduce the need for it based on the level. ## Grow Speed If an object grows, this will make the object grow faster then normal based on the level. ## Inventory If an object has inventory as trait, it will give you more inventory to hold items in based on the number of the inventory. # Game Token ($FCT) ## Farmers Community Token ![FCT Token Icon](/files/ruubf0kSYOGUNuoBL80b) This token (contract: [0x5548e42353334614F0Aa92780BcF2c221313e1aC](https://polygonscan.com/address/0x5548e42353334614f0aa92780bcf2c221313e1ac)) is used to hand out for players in the highscore. \ It will hold liquidity, can be swapped to MATIC and can be used to buy new in-game items from the shop on the website. Liquidity pool: Token lookup: ## Treasury * The $FCT treasury will be filled by investors adding liquidity (MATIC->$FCT). * Secondary sales through websites like OpenSea 2.5% of the sale goes to the treasury. * In game advertisements will prove additional revenue going to the treasury. * Buying/Swapping $FCT, will generate MATIC and will be added to the treasury. * Early Access passes (Little Red Dragons) and their profit will be added to the treasury. # Play to Earn ## How can I earn with playing the game? Every month there will be a [highscore ](https://www.farmerscommunitygame.com/highscores)list of people that will split $FCT among each other depending on their rank. To gain score in the game, all you have to do is play it. Seed plots, harvest plots, sell harvest and help neighbors. Just like every other farming game, but you help each other and can actually earn money. ## How much can I earn? This much likely depends on the active players and the amount of treasury. The more MATIC/$FCT liquidity we have the more we can distribute to the community. \ Check [here ](/token-economy/game-token-usdfct)to see how $FCT increases in value. # Staking \- Will be updated later - # Liquidity ## How to add Liquidity? Play the game, get in the highscore and earn [$FCT](/token-economy/game-token-usdfct).\ You can use our token, together with MATIC to provide liquidity, of every transaction made you will earn back a little percentage depending on your investment. You can add liquidity with Quickswap here:\
