Gang Points

Gang Points are your gang's shared score — a single number that gates your upgrades and decides where you land on the leaderboard. Check yours with /gp (also /gangpoints or /g points).

How you earn them

In Season 2, Gang Points are minted only by mining your own gang's ore-generator crude. They are no longer earned from killing shades or wraiths, and breaking ordinary ore gives nothing.

The rules are simple:

  • Mining crude in a cell owned by a gang credits that gang. Crude mined in a cell with no gang owner earns nothing.
  • Each crude block pays out based on the generator's tier — generator price x a fixed ratio. Because that ratio is constant, the points-per-dollar-invested is identical across tiers: a coal gen and a netherite gen reward the same value for the money you sank into them. There's no advantage to stacking cheap low-tier gens.
  • Condensed Crude Ore blocks pay 10x the points of normal crude.
  • Holding an outpost carrying the Industry minor pays your gang 25% more points from crude mined in its cells, on top of the 25% more crude that same minor generates.

Points per generator

Every generator adds 1 crude ore an hour to the crude blocks of its tier in the cell. Each crude mined pays the generator's price x 0.00001 in Gang Points. That works out to 1 point an hour for every $100,000 spent on generators, on every tier.

One generator, no bonuses:

Generator Price Points per crude Per hour Per day Per week
Coal $25,000 0.25 0.25 6 42
Iron $75,000 0.75 0.75 18 126
Lapis $200,000 2 2 48 336
Redstone $500,000 5 5 120 840
Gold $1,250,000 12.5 12.5 300 2,100
Diamond $3,000,000 30 30 720 5,040
Emerald $5,000,000 50 50 1,200 8,400
Netherite $7,500,000 75 75 1,800 12,600

Fractions carry over, so 4 coal crude make 1 point and nothing is lost to rounding.

A full stack of 100 generators on one spot:

Generator Cost of 100 Per hour Per day Per week
Coal $2,500,000 25 600 4,200
Iron $7,500,000 75 1,800 12,600
Lapis $20,000,000 200 4,800 33,600
Redstone $50,000,000 500 12,000 84,000
Gold $125,000,000 1,250 30,000 210,000
Diamond $300,000,000 3,000 72,000 504,000
Emerald $500,000,000 5,000 120,000 840,000
Netherite $750,000,000 7,500 180,000 1,260,000

Points land when the crude is mined, not when it's made. Crude keeps piling up in the block while nobody mines it, offline included, so you can come back and mine a day's worth in one go.

Bonuses

Bonus Crude made Points per crude Total
None x1 x1 x1
Gen Speed level 20 x1.2 x1 x1.2
Industry outpost minor x1.25 x1.25 x1.5625
Both x1.5 x1.25 x1.875

Gen Speed adds 1% per level. With both bonuses one netherite generator makes 140.6 points an hour (3,375 a day), and a stack of 100 makes 14,062 an hour (337,500 a day).

Condensed crude

A tier's generators split their output across every crude block of that tier in the cell. A condensed block takes 10 shares for every 1 share a normal block takes, and each crude mined from it pays 10x points. Output that lands in condensed blocks is worth 10 times as much: a netherite generator feeding only condensed blocks makes 750 points an hour instead of 75.

Crude block capacity

A crude block takes at most 2 crude an hour, and a condensed block takes 20. Anything your generators make past that is lost. Speed bonuses raise output but not this limit, so you need more blocks when they're active:

Bonuses Crude blocks per 100 gens Or condensed blocks
None 50 5
Gen Speed 20 60 6
Industry 63 7
Both 75 8

A single, locked gang-wide score

Gang Points are one shared number for the whole gang, not a per-player balance and not tied to any cell.

  • Non-withdrawable and non-transferable: you can't cash them out or move them between gangs.
  • Not raidable: they can no longer be stolen in a raid.
  • They survive cell sale or transfer, so a gang can't dump its value onto alts near map reset.

What they're for

Gang Points do exactly two things, and they are never spent — meeting a threshold simply unlocks something:

  • Gate gang upgrades: an upgrade requires a points total, but buying it doesn't drain your score.
  • Rank the gang leaderboard: your total decides your standing on /gtop, the weekly Obol payouts, and the map-end Reputation award.

The Stele of the Ancients is gone. Depositing and withdrawing points, the per-cell generator speed boost it granted, and capturing it during raids were all removed. Generator output is now flat and predictable.

Version history

v3.0.0

  • An outpost carrying the new Industry minor grants 25% more Gang Points from crude ore mined in your gang's cells.
  • Map-end Reputation now ranks gangs by Gang Points, matching /gtop and the Obol payouts.

v2.0.0

  • Ore generators now mint Gang Points instead of sellable money or ore, with higher-tier gens paying proportionally more so there's no edge to spamming cheap gens.
  • Gang Points became a single gang-wide score that can't be withdrawn, traded, or raided, and are earned only from mining your own gang's gen crude.
  • Removed the Stele of the Ancients along with point deposit/withdraw, the generator speed boost, and Stele capture; generator output is now flat and predictable.
  • Condensed Crude Ore mined from a generator pays 10x the points of normal crude.
