How to purchase a plot
Before you can start editing a plot, you must purchase one if you haven’t yet.
There are currently 2 ways to do that:
In Infiniverse
Locate the plot you want to buy on the map and ensure you are standing on it.
Look for the "FOR SALE" icon, which will be visible on the map and the bottom of your wristwatch menu.
Click on the icon to open the Discovery Menu and view the plot purchase price and details including any discounts.
Hit the "buy" button to proceed with the purchase, but don't forget to read the purchase prompt before confirming your purchase!
In the Map Room
Identify the "FOR SALE" marker pins on the map to locate plots available for purchase.
Click directly on the "FOR SALE" pin.
The purchase details will appear in the Discovery Menu.
Review the information, including the plot purchase price and any applicable discounts.
Hit the "buy" button to proceed with the purchase, but don't forget to read the purchase prompt before confirming your purchase!
Plot Editing
In order to start editing your plot, you must first teleport to the map room. You can do this in 2 ways:
Option 1: Visit the Plot
Go to the plot you want to edit in Infiniverse.
Press the plot owner icon at the bottom of the wrist menu.
The Discovery Menu will open.
If you're the plot owner, click "edit". If you're not, click "view".
You'll be prompted to launch your personal map room.
Option 2: Access via the Discovery Menu
Launch the Discovery Menu and go to the "me" section.
Scroll down to "my plots".
Select the plot you want to edit by clicking on its image, NOT the locate button.
Hit the "edit" button and the map room will launch. Get ready to unleash your creativity and bring your vision to life!
When you teleport to the map room for your plot, the plot and its surroundings will become the center of your view. The map button on your wrist menu will transform into an "editor" button.
The edit menu provides three main buttons for access to all editing options: Plots, Block, and Buildings. You'll also see an overview map of the area you're currently viewing in the map room.
On the bottom left of the map, you'll find the marker hide/unhide button, which toggles the visibility of all plot markers in the room. To change the height of the map room area and see the finer details of your plot up close, use the up/down arrows in the top right.
For an even closer look, you can activate "mini me" mode by clicking the person icon below the height arrows. Point at any location in the plot to be teleported to an Infiniverse view of that area. To exit this mode, simply click the "mini me" icon again.
If you need to recenter the map room plot at any point during your editing process, click on the plot marker you'd like in the center and hit the "center" button.
You’re now ready to dive into editing and bring your vision to life!
Plots
The term “Plots” is used to describe the entire area of land you own. With the plot edits, you can alter the appearance and aesthetic of your whole plot.
The layout of the plot edits, are completely randomised and if you apply the same plot edit multiple times, it will generate a new layout until you find the one you like the most.
Below are examples of the available plot edits:
Countryside
Central City
Light Urban Central
Dense Urban Central
Medium Urban Central
Island
Lake
Empire City
Light Urban Empire
Dense Urban Empire
Medium Urban Empire
Park
Village
Blocks
The term “Blocks” is used to describe the individual grid-like tiles within your plot. With block edits, you can add new properties that can be purchased by users within the Infiniverse, as well as decorations like statues that make your plot more unique and attractive.
Just like plot edits, some of the block edits are completely randomised. Keep applying the edits until you find the statue or building layout that you like.
Below are some examples of block stamps. Check out your options in the app, as there is a lot more to choose from!
Urban
Dense Urban
Medium Urban
SubUrban
City
Asphalt
Owner Statue
Grass
Hubscraper
Pond
Hot Air Balloons
Dinosaur
Oriental Gates

Buildings
The term “Buildings” is used to describe the individual properties within a block. With the building edit options, you can customise individual buildings to create specialist buildings within your plot.
The building edits currently available include:
Storefronts - Apply a storefront to any apartment building. This then becomes available to purchase within Infiniverse.
Jetpacks - The first of our building utilities. You can apply a jetpack vending machine to any apartment block which then becomes accessible for free, to all residents of the building you applied it to. Anyone not a resident in that building, will be charged to use that jetpack station. The taller and more occupied the building, the higher the jetpack level. The higher the jetpack level, the longer and higher a jetpack can travel.
Property info - This isn’t technically an edit option, however, it allows you to view the apartment listing of any building within Infiniverse and even make an apartment purchase without leaving the map room.

How To Stamp
Plot and Block Stamping
Stamping any edits to your plot is pretty straightforward.
Select the Plot, Block, or Building edit that you wish to use from your editor wrist menu.
Using the trigger button, point and click at the location on your plot where you want to apply the change.
The change will appear in your plot and your plot profile icon will appear as “modified” until you apply the changes.
Continue to stamp the same edit to regenerate another layout or new version of the edit (such as a new statues variant).
Plot Stamping
Block Stamping
Building Stamping
The stamping Building edit is slightly different.
Storefront and Jetpack stamping works in the same way:
Select the storefront or jetpack edit from the “buildings” menu.
Find a build you’d like to apply it to, then using the trigger button point and click on the building.
The storefront or jetpack edit will now be visible on the building. To remove it, click again.
NOTE: If the storefront or jetpack vending machine is already applied to your plot, it cannot be removed.
Property info can be used by selecting the option from the Buildings editor menu, then using the trigger button, point and click on a property you’re interested in.
NOTE: The property needs to have been applied and exists in Infiniverse before you can use the property info option.

Important Information
Following the launch of the Property Development update, there has been a fair amount of questions about certain aspects of plot editing. So before you commit to any changes to your plot, it’s very important that you are aware of the following details.
-
Some plots of land are protected and cannot be edited. When viewing the postcode of a plot, if "(Protected)" is displayed, it indicates that existing buildings and landmarks on the plot are safeguarded.
Landmarks - If you purchased a plot that contains a large statue, known as a landmark, you cannot edit/remove it. It has plot protection to ensure it stays unchanged for the benefit of those who have established a community in that location.
Existing Unique Statues - Prior to the release of plot editing, FTL periodically placed unique statues (known as drops) throughout Infiniverse. If you own a plot that contains one of these statues, they cannot be removed or edited.
Apartment/Skyscrapers/Storefronts - Any property that can be directly purchased or invested into by the community that resides in your plot, has plot protection. This means that once you place an urban block of apartments, storefronts or jetpack, you cannot remove it. So please think carefully about your location/positioning, before applying your changes. We cannont undo your changes.
-
Existing plot developments includes buildings, skyscrapers, storefronts and hubscrapers. If you own a plot with any of these existing on it before you purchase, they cannot be removed or changed.
This includes plot themes and layouts. For example, you cannot apply a village skin to a plot with existing developments on it. You cannot change a plot theme or layout at all if there are buildings already existing on it when you purchase the plot.
Though as this feature develops, more editing options may become available.
-
Terrain lakes, canyons and holes are randomly generated. They are controlled by an algorithm with takes into consideration the edits occurring on owned plots. If you own a plot and want to keep the terrain lake/canyon area next to your plot, you need to own that plot too in order to prevent it from changing. Otherwise anyone who owns that plot could remove the terrain feature.
As Infiniverse evolves and adapts to the community demands, further changes to the terrain will occur, so please keep in mind that the area around your plots isn’t guaranteed to always stay that way.
-
Hubscrapers are tall buildings with a customisable icon on top. Hubscrapers are used to officially mark your plot as a city which is then promoted as such in the Discovery Menu. From there, users can directly search for and visit your city. Your city may also be periodically featured in the Infinihub!
Keep in mind that you can only have 1 hubscraper per plot and the shape/size of a hubscraper can vary depending on which block you place it in.
To edit your Hubscraper's top and door images, go to the "Plots" tab on multiverseonline.io. There, you can upload an image to the "Hubscraper Branding" slot, as well as populate the Discovery Menu section.
-
Some plot types, for example the “island” plot type, feature food statues randomly place across the plot. Currently these cannot be edited in the same way as Urban plot types. If you wish to edit a statue on an island, the only way to do so is to change the plot type to an urban plot or village plot.
Lake, countryside and island plot types, currently do not have any edit options in the first stage of plot editing development. However, as the feature is refined, more development options will become available over time.
-
The Plot, Block, or Building stamping overrides the previous plot setup and you customize each grid of your plot individually and independently. For example, you are not able to move an existing Block from one grid to another within the same plot or transfer it to a different plot you own, and neither can you move a plot layout from one plot to another.
-
When purchasing a plot, you may be drawn to the surrounding area. However, be aware that the neighboring plots may be subject to change in the future. Plots with buildings or landmarks that are protected cannot be edited, but all other plots, including those with lakes, waterfront, islands, or unique terrain, can be changed if the plot owner chooses to do so. If you want to maintain the look of the area, you must also own the surrounding plots.
-
All users have access to the same array of editing tools and options for their plots regardless of their metaverse subscription type. However, please note that the plot edits are randomized and determined by an algorithm, so you may need to click the trigger button multiple times to find the option you want when editing your plot. If you don't see a specific option in the app (or in this guide), it is currently not available; however, keep in mind we will be launching more plot layouts, blocks, and buildings for you to choose from in the near future.
-
Currently, trading, selling, or transferring plots is NOT possible. Please only purchase plots that you intend to own and develop in the future.
-
When it comes to designing a landscape, some options may work best on flat, regular-shaped blocks. However, these may not be as aesthetically pleasing in more hilly areas. If you find that the layout you've chosen isn't working, try a different option. Keep experimenting until you find the best fit.
Additionally, some border items such as flowers and bushes may not be visible in the map room view. For a full view of these elements, try the shrinking down to a street view option.
How To Apply Or Reset Your Plot Edits
Now that you’ve had fun expressing your creative side and producing a plot that’s unique to you and your community, it’s time to apply your edits.
Click on the plot icon with your profile avatar on it. It should say “Modified.”
The Discovery Menu should open up and along the top of the screen there should now be a button to “Reset” or “Build”. If you want to remove all the edits you’d added to your plot, click reset and it will return your plot to its original format (provided no edits were previously applied). If you want to apply the edits you’ve made, click “Build.”
You’ll then be provided with a breakdown of the edits and costs. Click apply and confirm the amount.
Your edits will now be applied to your plot.
