I need to do some reading to catch up with the game.
Maybe you should. Land will have a 'land surfing' option which will allow non-land owners to use land that their owners don't (yet). Not enough details to tell you more about it.
Curious about how much $DEC you spent to build these 24 worksites.
I spent a serious amount of DEC on time crystals to instantly clear plots (I didn't have enough of them, apparently). But one could have done without TCs, it just takes (way) longer.
Other than that, I didn't pay any DEC. It is staked as Dark Energy on land, but I can unstake it, it's still mine, and can use it elsewhere if I decide to.
What do you mean by "better cards"?
Better cards in terms of production points, the metric that determines how much you produce on a plot.
This makes the land aspect of the game like a virtual economic system.
That's the type of game land is. A resource management game. And Land 1.5 is the easy part. It's on Land 2.0 where things become complicated, with dozens of resources and more complex gameplay.
Thanks! I just saw this morning on Discord the full list of all of the resources that will be part of phase 2.

Yep, without further explanations, it's not very helpful. Although we have some ideas what some of those resources will do.
