How the Farmers Co-op works
In short: The Farmers Co-op is the farmers' collective pot, and the engine that ties the game together. Every farmer is a member just by selling a harvest. What it does stays under wraps until farming opens.
note
Everything in Yield Fields is subject to change, including these numbers and mechanics. We'll give players ample notice before any change.
“The Farmers Co-op doesn't farm. It keeps the fields fed.”
What feeds it
Co-op Dues from every crop sold, at the Farmer or the Broker
A share of the taxes on every $YIELD trade, plus the extra that heavy selling pays
Fees from Fert Deck boosts, once they arrive
Its balance is shown at the Farmers Co-op in the game.
What we can tell you
It works in the open. Its balance is shown in the game, and everything it does happens onchain
It doesn't add to heavy selling. Its own trades never count toward the higher sell tax
It works for the fields. What it collects goes back into the farm and its rewards. Some of it may never come back out
The Farmers Co-op wakes on day 1 of farming, and it won't start from zero: it gets seeded with ████████ on day 1. Until then, it waits and it fills. Its rules are published before it makes its first move.
How it all connects
Deeds make Fertilizer. Farmers use it, or buy it from deed holders, to grow faster.
Farmers sell their harvest. Every sale pays Co-op Dues into the Farmers Co-op.
$YIELD trading adds more. Taxes flow in too, including the extra from heavy selling.
The Farmers Co-op feeds the farm. What it collects goes back into rewards for farmers and deed holders.
Deeds get stronger. Build fees and trading taxes fill the Root Cellars, and every burn means future fees are shared among fewer deeds.
More farming means more fees, and more fees means more for the Farmers Co-op to work with.
What it isn't
The Farmers Co-op isn't a promise. It doesn't set or hold up the price of $YIELD, and what it gives back depends on how much the game collects.
