Frequently Asked Questions
Plot
- You often talk about the “plot”. What is a plot exactly?
Good question! A plot is a portion of land that belongs to a character and that you can “claim” in the areas open for building. This portion of land is circular and vast enough to build a house of reasonable size and a couple of smaller structures.
- What are the Plot Tokens and how do they work exactly?
After we exit Early Access, Plot Tokens will be the key to owning land in Pax Dei. Each subscription grants a set number of Plot Tokens every month:
1 Plot Token = 1 plot of land for 1 month.
Tokens can be used to claim new plots or extend the duration of your current ones.
You decide when and how you spend your Plot Tokens: one by one to maintain a single plot during several months, or all at one time, to maintain several plots during one month.
When a plot expires, its contents are safely stored in your Redeeming Queue.
Once expired, your plot will enter a “frozen” state for a limited grace period. You will not be able to build or destroy anything while the plot is frozen.
If you decide to spend a Plot Token to add one month to that plot, you just pick up where you left off.
If you choose not to add more time to that particular plot, then all your plot’s content will be safely stored in your Redeeming Queue after the grace period ends.
Tokens are yours to keep and use at any time, even after canceling a subscription.
Tokens remain valid for 12 months from the date you receive them.
Please note that if you release your plot, your goods won’t be stored in your Redeeming queue, and your building will decay.
This gives you flexibility: whether you’re an active landowner or playing more casually, you remain in full control.
- Do I absolutely need a plot to build a house?
Building only happens on plots, but the plots have a permission system that allows them to be shared between players. So yes, you will need a plot to build, but this doesn’t necessarily mean it is your plot. If you have a group of friends and form a clan together, you can have multiple shared houses in multiple locations and work on those together.
- Can I build on other players' plots?
Yes, if someone allows you to do so. We expect most clans to share some of their plots, allowing clan members to build on them.
- Can people come to my plot and steal what’s in my house? Can they destroy it?
Only the players you’ve given permission to access your constructions on your plot can access your things. And yes, they can destroy it but also help you build more.
- Can I decide to move my plot at any point? In that case: what happens to the building/props already on it?
Right now, you can move the plot at any time but would need to move all the things on the plot by carrying them from one place to another.
- What if someone claims a plot in the area we started to populate with my clan - to block us - and doesn’t want to move? Is there any way we can push them out or prevent this from happening?
There is no game mechanism at this point to force someone to move; you’d have to talk to the person and convince them to move. Note that the game very much favors cooperation, so there’s very little in the game itself that would motivate someone to do this - someone who dedicates their plot to blocking a clan instead of working with them will have a hard time playing the game.
- What if a griefer builds a plot next to mine or my clan's plots?
We understand that players may encounter issues with plot placement, and we want to ensure that our players can resolve these conflicts.
- Can I modify the ground in the plot?
We don't support this feature, but you can build the foundations to flatten the land.
