Gleamball hunting / searching: What is the process?

I recommend you check out the boundlessinfo link in here to check out the colors that can be picked and then click the colora to check if any scanned planets have those colors.

Ok so now that I have my Sov world, how do I correctly set up a platform?

Specifically, I need to make sure I put plots down correctly so that the gleamball can be publicly mined but they can also teleport here, and that the bottom of the platform / walls are not breakable.

I am thinking the way to do it is to make plots around the ball, but not actually containing the ball. I don’t think there is a way to put plots ON the ball and allow regeneration/public breaking. Or is there? Please provide input my friendly fellow players!!

Yes, the way people do it is to plot everything except the ball itself, walling (if there’s a wall) and flooring in the claimed area.

There’s also more things that you can do to make it easier to use.
For example, some people claim the bottom part of the ball (so the ball “touches the ground”), this sacrifices some gleam but makes it convenient for the farmers since mining range is limited and fall damage exists (trampoline floor is another idea).

You can use a campfire to find gleamballs that are at the right height to make a farm. the key is you want the plot that is as close as possible to the bottom of the ball with out going into it. then you can just make a flat platform or a box around the ball.

You can see in this image there is a line between the top and bottom plot so this would be a good start to make a farm with…

Also you dont need portals to get on top of them you can just go to sanctum under the ball like so:

I also recommend claiming plots with a alt so you can take your main off the permissions list and then be able to farm at your own gleam farm with out worry of breaking the floor accidentally.
