Now that release 1.75 of land is live in Splinterlands, it's time to adapt… and here’s what I did.

My main goal is to be somewhat self-sufficient. I'm not expecting to become a resource tycoon, but I do want to participate in land and produce some materials on a consistent basis.

Back when I selected my plots, I aimed for a mix of resources. So in theory, things should be doable — I just had to fine-tune my setup.

Let me walk you through how I did my calculations and what my harvesting plan looks like going forward. Hopefully, you’ll pick up a trick or two for your own setup. And if you’ve got any tips for me, I’m all ears!

Step 1: Assessing My Strengths and Weaknesses

I started by identifying where my strengths are — meaning where I have overproducing plots — and where the weak spots are. The goal was to shift things around so that I could at least cover the grain costs of my two resource plots and not fall behind.

The big question when I started was:
Can I generate enough grain??

It really comes down to Production Points (PP). So I had to make sure my production points would either result in positive grain flow or at least a break-even point.

Also, don’t forget the 12% transfer fee for sending resources between regions — that adds up fast if you're not careful.

Spoiler: I solved this by buying better PP units.

Step 2: Using the Land Production Screen

Not gonna lie — before 1.75, I never really looked at this screen. But now? It’s my new best friend.

It helped me clearly see where I had deficits and oversupply.

Region 9:

Region 51 (my main):

Region 81:

From this, I could tell how much I was producing per hour and what I needed to cover grain + resource costs. Wherever I saw negative numbers, I included the 12% transfer loss in my planning.
I put this for gain in a small excel to see if i have enough:

For the other resource i could did it just on the calculator...
This is the end situation before i had a negative grain overall

Step 3: The Plan

Based on what I saw:

Region 51: I boosted grain production here by buying some solid PP units. This gave me enough grain to send to Region 9, even with the 12% loss.

Region 81: This one had a small grain shortage, so I fixed it just enough to go neutral. Now I can harvest all resources here and send them to Region 51 without worrying about grain.

Region 9: This region now receives grain from 51 (adjusted for the transfer fee), uses it to harvest its own resources, and sends any excess back to Region 51.

Once I harvest Region 51, I store the leftover supply in the (trade hub) liquidity pool, and slowly but surely, that’s growing too.

Final Thoughts

And that’s how I’m handling land after the 1.75 update. It’s definitely a puzzle, but once you figure out your production flows and get a handle on grain, the rest falls into place.

Hope this post gave you some ideas or inspiration. Let me know if there’s anything I could do better — or if you’ve got tips to make my setup more efficient.

Catch you on the land!
