Plot tokens

Plot tokens

Plot tokens are items you hold in inventory to pick a building type on the plot placement staff, then stake the footprint in the world.

Plot crafting bench

Craft plot tokens at the plot crafting bench. The bench shows a 3D preview of the building before you commit materials. Craft the bench at the town planning desk, then place it like any workstation.

Most story quests still hand you the first token directly from the quest giver. After that, replacements and extra copies usually come from the bench.

Your town's building style

Click Download to choose a town style and start its download. The menu closes so you can keep playing: a small HUD panel shows which building files are downloading, how many buildings remain, and how many resource-loading steps are complete. Builds requiring mods your server does not have are left out. Wait for Ready to use before choosing a newly downloaded building. If something fails, the panel names the problem and puts the details in chat so you can read them later and retry.

When a quest gives you a plot token, it looks for an installed building in your town's chosen style. It first uses any matching buildings the author marked as preferred quest choices. Otherwise, it prefers a building that has only the requested purpose: a farm quest picks a farm-only building before a farm that also counts as a house or blacksmith. If there is no single-purpose option, it uses a matching mixed-use building. When several buildings qualify, one is chosen at random. If the style has no suitable installed building, you receive the default plot.

Plot blueprints

Some buildings are gated behind plot blueprints instead of dropping ready-made tokens from balloons.

  1. Use the blueprint item to permanently unlock that plot at your plot crafting bench.
  2. Open the bench and craft the plot token (materials plus gold, same as other tokens).
  3. Equip the plot placement staff and stake the footprint.

White floating gifts often carry blueprints. Green gifts favor jewelry; red gifts favor furniture and decoration props. Balloon gifts are rarer than before.

Salvage

Extra plot tokens — including variant tokens from gifts — can be salvaged for gold coins at a workbench when you do not need another copy.

Tips

  • Read Player shop and shop spots under Mechanics if a building includes shop spots.
  • Florist, Pyrotechnic, and Crystal Keeper shop quests grant blueprints rather than direct tokens.
