🏰 Welcome to Chapter 3: Bountyfall
Join your Union, gather Yieldstones, and fight for balance in Terra Villa - the competition begins now!
Long ago, when the land broke and abundance turned to ash, three Unions rose to restore what was lost. Each follows a different path, yet all share one purpose: to bring balance back to Terra Villa.
WHICH UNION WILL YOU JOIN?
Awaken the wild within: Wildgroves
Wildgroves do not bind the land, they let it breathe. You will see the land grow wild in their keep. Every root and river knows how to heal on its own if we simply step aside. Balance is not forged… it is allowed. If you feel the same, you might just be a Wildgrove. Wildgroves carry Verdant Yieldstones.
Rise with purpose: Seedwrights
Seedwrights believe the land thrives when guided. Left alone, it devours itself. The Hearths respond to care, to effort, to discipline. Seedwrights rebuild not by chance, but by hands that tend with purpose. When you believe in discipline, you believe in Seedwrights. Seedwrights carry Flint Yieldstones.
Embrace the harvest of shadow: Reapers
Reapers believe life and death are the same harvest. They acknowledge that nature gives and takes. They remember the price of the First Flame. Others forget. But they choose to offer what must be given. Reapers believe light and darkness should coincide. Reapers carry Hollow Yieldstones.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
A new building has opened in Terra Villa: Hearth Hall. Step inside to begin a quest that unveils the story of this realm’s Unions and helps you choose your path.
Once you’ve joined a Union, head to the back of the hall to find the three Hearths. Strengthen your Union’s Hearth by placing the correct Yieldstones. Reach 100% health to claim victory for your Union!
Click on a Hearth to open the Hearth Manager and track its progress.
What are Yieldstones?
There are 3 types of Yieldstones: Flint, Verdant and Hollow.
Each type can be placed in its respective Hearth:
🟢 Wildgroves: Verdant
🟡 Seedwrights: Flint
🔴 Reapers: Hollow
As a Union member, your mission is to place as many powerful Yieldstones as you can into your Hearth. Each one strengthens your Union’s health and brings you closer to victory. There are 5 tiers of Yieldstones, with 1 having the lowest power and 5 being the highest. Yieldstones are not tradable.
Where do I get Yieldstones?
There are two ways to get Yieldstones:
1️⃣ Yieldstones will be rewarded through the Infinifunnel in your home. They’ll be rewarded for completing tasks on your taskboard, just as you normally do.
2️⃣ NFT land owners may purchase a Yieldstone Press from the Hearth Halls Chamber Shop. With this, users can generate Yieldstones right on the farm.
To use it, players must first craft Yield Reactors at various industries within Metalworking, Woodworking, Cooking, Business, and Exploration. Once crafted, a Reactor can be placed on the Yieldstone Press to create a brand-new Yieldstone!
There are 5 new items used in crafting Yield Reactors:
Mirage Egg from Coops (Level 40+ Animal Care)
Ashnut from Trees (Level 40+ Trees)
Gloomshard from Mines (Level 40+ Mines)
Sunbloom from Crops (Level 40+ Crops)
PearlySwirl from Ponds (Level 40+ Exploration)
Good to know:
The Yieldstone Press will return a Yieldstone that matches the Union of the land. Unions can be assigned in the land management module.
There is a limit of 4 per large land and 2 per small land, and they do not compete with any other industry limit. They cannot be placed on Specks.
This industry provides both Discoverability Points (7000!!!!!!) & surplus.
How do I sabotage others?
Here’s where the fun starts! While completing tasks on the taskboard, you may start to receive Yieldstones from Unions other than your own. If you place a Yieldstone on the Hearth that is not your own, you damage the health of that Hearth.
Sooo… can you defend yourself? Yes!
Pick up some Offerings!
There are two types of offerings available at the Hearth Halls Chamber Shop:
Power: amplify power for your Hearth (with the choice of global or personal)
Defence: protects your Hearth against sabotage
By putting them in your Union’s Hearth, you can amplify the power of Yieldstones placed into your Hearth, or protect it from sabotage.
How it works:
To strengthen your Hearth, your Union must submit enough Offerings before the timer runs out. You can see the timer by hovering over the Hearth. Click on your Hearth and open the Offering tab in the Hearth Manager to view the required amount and your current progress.
If your Union reaches the required total before time runs out, your Hearth will level up. Otherwise, the Offerings will be lost, and your Hearth will drop a level or stay the same if it’s already at Level 0.
Can I switch Unions?
Yes! You can switch between Unions anytime. Your first switch costs 50 $PIXEL using a Harvest Union Changer from the Hearth Halls Chamber Shop, with a 48-hour cooldown between changes.
REWARDS 💰
A Season lasts until the first Union reaches 100% Hearth Health. Once a Union claims victory, rewards are distributed among its members:
🥇 1st place Union: 70% of the rewards pool
🥈 2nd place Union: 30% of the rewards pool
🥉 3rd place Union: starter Yieldstones for the next season!
How is the rewards pool determined?
The rewards pool is based on player participation. The more Yieldstones placed into Hearths, the larger the pool grows. And yes, that includes sabotage 👀 At the start of each new Season, the pool resets.
For this first Season, the rewards can go up to 50,000 $PIXEL 🎉
Only contributing players will receive rewards. Rewards are distributed dynamically based on how much each player contributed during the Season.
How about Leaderboards?
Your leaderboard position is determined by your participation throughout the Season, including deposits, sabotages, offerings, etc. Each Union has its own leaderboard, and the top two Unions will earn rewards.
The more total points accumulated across leaderboards, the bigger the prize pool grows.
And for the top player of the Season… something extra special might be waiting. Stay tuned!
