After a long wait, construction update is finally live.

Construction is the backbone of the BETA edition. It is the foundation to all the future updates and changes to the dCrops metaverse.

You can now construct your blueprint NFTs into usable equipments by combining them with plots and resources from quest reward chests.



# Getting Started

There are a couple of steps that you will need to do in order to begin with construction.

### Step 1: You'll first need to convert your land into plots (Ignore if you plan to build using Average Farmland)

Each blueprint needs a different amount of "plots" to build. Since land NFTs have varying number of plots, you will need to convert your lands into plots. The land NFT will then be converted into their corresponding number of plot NFTs.

Since Average Farmland (the common land NFT) only has 1 plot, it is not required to be converted into a plot NFT. One thing you will need to do is to remove anything that has been planted on it. If there is anything planted on the land, it will not show up during construction.

To convert your land to plots, go to the "Convert to Plots" tab on the construction page. **Converting lands to plots is instant and there are no timers to do so.**

Please note the plot you use to build an equipment will determine what kind of bonuses you get. This is denoted in the below table.

### Step 2: Gather the necessary materials

Once you have got your plots squared away, its time to gather materials.

Furnace, Kiln and Saw Mill are the 3 blueprints which can be built directly using resource NFTs like wood, ores etc. All other equipments need processed resources which are processed by the 3 equipments mentioned above.

So if you want to build the rest of the equipments, you will first need to build the above 3 equipments. Or alternatively you could buy the processed resource from other players.

**P.S: If you are running low on resource NFTs, you can either buy them from the market or you can try your luck with Reward Chest++ from the booster shop.**

### Step 3: Build it!


Once you have your plots and materials ready, its time to build your equipments.

The Furnace, Kiln and Saw Mill take 5 days each to finish building and everything else take 7 days to complete.

Please note that you cannot build houses yet and the system to build houses will be released with the NPC update later.

### Step 4: ???

And there you have it. After you have built your equipments, you will them be able to cook and craft everything.
