The ecosystem will change so that you should always take care of your plants to get the maximum out of them. This creates the incentive for strainzers to keep coming back and be active. Mechanics will also be introduced to favor smaller NFT holders and slow down large whales.
Watering
In the V2, the plants lose grow rate over time. The maximum grow rate remains in the DNA of the plant. This temporary loss of grow rate can be reversed by watering. The grow rate of the plants is updated daily. So if you want to get the maximum grow rate out of your plants you have to water your plants regularly. However, watering the plants costs STRAINZ tokens, so you should always consider whether watering the plant is worth it.
In the wallet, the current water level of the plants is additionally displayed. Every day the plants lose 10% of their individual grow rate. Starting from day 0, which represents the watering day.
The plants lose 10% of their maximum grow rate every day for 9 days.
After the 9 days, the plant loses nothing in grow rate, but remains at its 10% of maximum grow rate until it is watered again. The grow rate of the plants will be a minimum of 16 and will not fall below this value.
The watering costs depend on the last watering time. This means that within the 9 days the watering costs increase, after the 9 days the watering costs remain constant.
So the plants never dry out completely and continue to produce STRAINZ tokens.
The watering cost will be also depending on the amount of plants you have, to slow down big whales > 200 plants for example. The larger the wallet, the higher the penalty for watering costs will be. This penalty runs in discrete increments depending on which wallet size is exceeded. Smaller wallets are not cut as hard as larger wallets.
The discrete steps are as follows:
NFTs > 250
NFTs > 200
NFTs > 100
NFTs > 50
NFTs > 10
NFTs > 5
This means that the more NFTs there are in your wallet, the faster they will dry out and more watering will be needed to keep the grow rate up.
You will also not be able to harvest or water the plants individually, this is all done through a combined function.
The watering function appears with a combined harvesting button. This means that every time you water, the plants are also harvested at the same time and the watering costs are deducted from this.
Grow Fertilizers
The grow fertilizer can be purchased using the new SEEDZ token. The grow fertilizers give a temporary buff to the grow rate when applied to a plant. A grow fertilizer lasts for 7 days. When applied to a plant, the fertilizer will be consumed.
The cost of a grow fertilizer will be customizable, so no price has been set for it at this point.
The grow fertilizer boost is not affected by the watering but is based on the maximum individual grow rate of the plant.
Harvesting
Harvesting will remain very similar compared to V1, but here the influence of watering must be considered since the grow rate of the plants will change daily if they are not watered.
In addition, the harvest all button is combined with watering the plants, which means that when watering the plants, the plants are also harvested.
You will also not be able to harvest or water the plants individually, this is all done through a combined function.
In the future, with each watering, the plants will also be harvested automatically.
