Two Workarounds for Land Gameplay on Mavs Test Server
If you read my posts you know I've been having issues playing Land game on the Mavs test server.
The problem was that I used the map view, which was (and still is, probably), buggy. It led to showing and linking to incorrect regions, showing no plots in those regions (at least for me) on the production page, and if you tried to set up a worksite, you couldn't because you received a "not enough DEC" error, even though you had enough staked to your region.
If any of the described issues feel familiar to you, here are two workaround you can use temporarily, until the map view and subsequent issues are fixed.
First Workaround
I was pointed out to this workaround on the # land-expansion channel, by zolajimmy, who originally posted it in the channel:
Let's use words too, in case the image isn't visible:
For folks who are experiencing the bug, where the production view doesn't reflect the plots you own, I found this workaround. On the listing view, click the gold arrow.
So, instead of going to the map view or the card view, you go to the 3rd option, the listing view:
Adding worksites should work fine from there. I tested it and it works for me. You just navigate to the plots you want to manage. Production page will still have the wrong information from what I can see, but you can still manage to add worksites this way.
Second Workaround
The second workaround is... not using the Splinterlands interface at all. I still don't understand why I didn't come up with this sooner.
There is at least one other interface that I know of that works with the QA server from the Mavs. And that is the PeakMonsters interface. This is the link, because it's not the same as the main website. Their interface doesn't seem to have the errors we see via the map view in Splinterlands QA or on the production page. And it has the ability to stake cards, build a worksite and even harvest. I don't know if you can deposit or withdraw grain or DEC from what I've seen so far on the interface, so that part might need to be done from the Splinterlands QA website.
Compared to the Splinterlands QA interface, it has the option to auto-fill the spots for a plot (cards and power source), which may be great for those with a huge number of plots. What I am still hoping to see on their interface is a search option for cards to stake on a slot, by name.
Final Words
I am relieved. I knew there will be bugs, all I wanted was a way to test various scenarios before the game goes live. If anyone else was looking for a way to fully manage their plots, these workarounds should suffice for now.

I've got the same issue. For some reason the plots I bought aren't in the region I bought them in. They're in some other region that just showed up on my production screen without me doing anything. I've also been using the little arrows for the workaround and it seems to be doing fine. There definitely need to be some things fixed before this goes live though. Things aren't very intuitive right now. I'm sure they'll get it right at some point but I'm thinking it's still going to be at least a couple weeks before there's any chance this goes live for real.
I don't think it'll take as long to fix them. My estimation is it will be launched on October 3, at the latest, if other major bugs aren't discovered. Although there are still things like Harvest All that don't work either. Let's see how quickly they clear the bugs, because I don't think they push updates to the Mavs server with fixed bugs, at least not often.
Glad to see the issue was solved.
Well, it wasn't solved yet (or the Mavs server isn't updated with new bug fixes), we just found workarounds to make it work until it is solved.

Thanks.
Seems like this season is more interesting than the other season
Maybe the new ToS helps with that.

I'm am just happy that you were able to find a solution to the problem because that is the main thing
Keep it up!
Thanks. Yeah, I am happy too. It was bugging me that I couldn't try out the game.

Nice sharing!
Hello @gadrian I'm glad you found a way to work around the buggy interface. I'm glad you are relieved. Have a great rest of the week. Barb !BBH !CTP #ctp ⭐⭐😄
Thanks, Barb!

Thanks.
It sucks to hear about the issues but at least there are alternatives. I hope it does get fixed before it goes live though.
I'm pretty sure they will fix them. They let us know upfront this wasn't bug-free when the Mavs server was updated with Land. They practically needed more eyes to test and discover more bugs and break the interface before it was publicly released.
It's good that the community are able to find workarounds, but I hope the team can fix it soon.
They will, I'm sure of that. Our role was mainly to find bugs and report them during this period. That's why it is on the Mavs server.
All these changes are very interesting for the users.
When we see bugs disappear, we can take it as a sign of being ready to launch. Seeing the game in action has been the best indicator of where we are in terms of progress.

Not sure if the game on the Mavs server will be updated with fixes. I haven't been checking out the land discord channel for a few days due to Hivefest.
