Island Types

The island archipelago region has thousands of islands, the Ministry of resource development has prepared a public report on the most common island types found in the region. Each island type plays its role in the archipelago region, industrialist and prospective island operators are highly urged to understand each of their roles and resources given out before staking a claim.

This is not a complete list of islands types. You may stumble upon unique island types yet to be discovered. So keep your eyes opened.

Urban Center Information

Small Urban Settlement

Small urban islands are scattered throughout the region providing workers with modest accommodations and amenities making it relatively self-sufficient.

Operation island rush has been a success in attracting many workers and families from cramped mainland urban centers to populate and work the resource rich islands. While the range of services provided may not be as extravagant as the larger population centers in the archipelago region and modest with mainland's small villages, most workers and their families are willing to do whatever it takes to make it big in the frontier archipelago region. Each small urban settlement contains four urban residential plots (Airdropping Q4 2021 -Q1 2022) and can be worked on by a housed population to generate Island Economic Unit.

After distribution, urban plots are not linked to the urban island card and can be sold to other players. Do note that in future releases of the simulation, urban plots from one district will only be stakeable with resource islands of the same district (Workers will not travel across district to work.)

Urban island cities

Urban island cities are less common in the archipelago region and houses significantly more workers than their smaller urban island counterparts. Many are fairly established with developed streets, utilities, accomodations and amenities.

Urban island cities often funcion as supply hubs to the small settlements and resource islands within the district. With modern amenities, a relatively larger population count and their position as transportation hubs, island cities are capable of supporting industrial developments from ore smelters to food processing and manufacturing. Each urban island city contains 8 urban plots (7 residential and 1 industrial) and can be worked on by a housed population to generate Island Economic Unit.

After distribution by airdrop (Q4 2021 -Q1 2022)), urban plots are not linked to the urban island card and can be sold to other players. Do note that in future releases of the simulation, urban plots from one district will only be stakeable with resource islands of the same district (Workers will not travel across district to work.)

District Capitals

District capitals are large developed cities within the archipelago region with hundreds of thousands of people living and working within. It is often the staging ground for many families looking to start their new lives in the archipelago region. There are 20 District capitals within the archipelago region.

A district capitals contains 16 urban plots (8 residential plots, 4 industrial plots and 4 government plots). Like other urban islands, the district capital can be worked on with a housed population to generate 1 Island Economic Unit. After distribution by airdrop (Q4 2021 -Q1 2022)), urban plots are not linked to the urban island card and can be sold to other players. Do note that in future releases of the simulation, urban plots from one district will only be stakeable with resource islands of the same district (Workers will not travel across district to work.)

The district capital contains the seat of the District Governor making the holder of the NFT the District Governor for the region. District Governors can collect up to 10% tax from the economic payouts of all players within district. They also have a say in the council of Governors which determines where the region exports its goods to (and the currency it receives for the month). District Governors are the only players who can use the government land plots. Public infrastructures built on government land plots will boost the IEU output for all players within the district.
