Splinterlands SlumLord Update February 2024...

It's all steady on the good ship Yorric Dale, 17 Pristine NorthWest...

I'm happily around 50-50 with my research and SPS and just covering my production costs with the grain.

I've jiggled about some assets over the last three weeks, mainly making sure my totems are on the highest PP plots. I mean, 10% added to 20K = + 2K, 10% aded to 10K = only plus 1K, so whatever you've got being produced it makes sense to up it - I had moved some totems temporarily onto lower PP plots producing grain to cover my costs.

In retrospect I should have just kept the totems where they were, on the highest PP plots and just switched production over.

Anyways, everything is pretty much optimal now!

Production Overview...

I'm JUST ABOUT in balance with my grain production once I take into account the castle which doesn't show in the table below....

Headline news is that I'm 1 research point per hour up, 0.4 SPS down per hour since three weeks ago and about 200 grain per hour up.

As predicted the SPS production is on a downward trend as this is a pool rather than just everyone earning the same based on PP. I have a feeling that RESEARCH might somehow be pooled later on too, or somehow nerfed by how much you have in relation to everyone else, more so as the game progresses, so probably it has been a good move to stack it while I can.

Production in the Region...

There are currently 205 plots fully developed and producing various resources in my region, an increase of 34 from 171 plots fully constructed last time I checked around three weeks ago.

I only brought an additional 7 plots online since last time I checked, so the vast majority of those additional plots are earning me some nice taxes.

Overall I am around 18K a day from the castle still, not much more than three weeks ago.... the typical plot that isn't mine has quite low PP in the few thousands only, whereas several of mine have double digits with a few over 50K PP, with boosts. So probably around 15K of that tax is me taxing myself, but there you go!

In addition we have 62 PLOTS under construction, so not too much of an expansion to hope for!

Next steps....

I only have around 10 plots either under construction now or yet to build, so it's just a matter of steadily bringing these online, everything should be under construction by end of Feb, and producing by end of March.

I'm also gonna switch some higher powered cards off Research and onto SPS, but this is minor tweaking, like swapping some 15K for 12K cards - I still want the highest on the double production plots. Im only talking about 5 swaps across two plots, not much!

And I think it's time to treat myself to another max Gold Rare as well, maybe even BEFORE I get all my plots online, I might even have a look at what cheap Betas and Untamed are on offer RN.

Oh, AND I am gonna review some rental prices too and double check I couldn't be earning MORE just renting, and if I can I will swap some of those out for rent, and then do my best to replace them whatever cheaper equivalent but lower rental return cards.

So I am keeping an eye on things, but for now I am happy enough!
