Question - How many plots are on a planet?

General

331, 776ish? I may be off by a few.

Edit: per layer

Going to say 336 as it is dividable by 8 336 / 8 = 42
776 / 8 = 97
256 / 8 = 32

So 42 x 97 = 4074 per plot level
4074 x 32 = 130,368 plots per planet

This tread from EA has some answers

That made it more confusing for me and really never answer the question. Or if it did I did not see it.

Do you mean character level or planet level?

The planet is a cube. The plots are the same horizontally for each level from what I understand. The circle is just a graphic tweak.

Honestly, your question should not be “how many plots are on a planet” but instead should be “can I plot the planet and how long will that take” :slight_smile: Quickly followed up by, “if I plot that planet, how many players will be pissed off at me that I annexed their settlement and took all the land”

here you go

current static planets are 4608x4608x256 blocks so 576x576x32 plots. This means 331,776 plots for 1 layer (at any altitude) and 10,616,832 plots for everything on the planet.

Sadly, I don’t think a payer would actually be allowed to plot a whole planet. Just throwing this out there in case it was a plan. Might as well get the disappointment out of the way early.

Challenge accepted.

Edit: Only 320k more plots to go!

Only 330k plots to own an entire planet? I think I have a new long term goal in mind…

That was not why I asked. I just wanted to know how big a planet was, plot wise…but now that you bring it up…

Doing some hypothetical math…lets say there are 500 regular players with an average of 2 alts. That gives us 1000. Each character has an average of 300 plots. 1000 x 300 = 300,000 plots. If we all decided to plot a T6 world that would just about cover it. At what point would it spawn a new T6? Is there a % of plots covered that triggers this? Not sure if this has been answered somewhere before.

I do think it is possible to plot an entire planet with the current player base. Be a great experiment to try.

From my understanding its not that it will automatically spawn a new planet at the moment, it will just send a message to the developers saying that the conditions have been met. We talked about this in a post back in September if I remember correctly. If we could people would have spawned many planets by now by jumping around and replotting.

Yeah but that kind of plotting takes a lot of time, coordination to do. Which is why I don’t think it has been tried yet.

But I see what you mean about it being the developers who still have to control it. I thought it was automated like when the last 2 planets appeared.

I don’t believe there has been automatic planet spawning yet. The population hasn’t ever been to that point and they probably want to make sure we don’t try to “push” the limits during one of their holidays for them to come back to 200 some odd planets lol. Took me about 2 hours to place 3600 plots a couple of weekends ago, so a large group could probably pull it off if they put their minds to it.

I thought trung and dzassak were automatically spawned o.O

I’m thinking this is a good challenge to try.

Also what @Mayumichi just posted…I thought it was automatic.

They may have been, but from what I heard they already had planets ready to spawn before the free weekend and other events. I’m not a dev though, so I could be completely wrong.
