When I built entropialoot.com (not intended to be a plug) and subsequently looked at the end product, a couple "stats" jumped out to me since I had been struggling with returns, like many have expressed in PCF, since I returned. Furthermore, I had those thoughts regarding those stats strengthened by some commentary on the new recent share offerings and eventually future offerings like 8Coins and Treasure Island (speculation).
I would like to share these thoughts with you and get people's thoughts:
What does the CLD payouts tell us?
CLD payouts can tell us how much Mindark is making at a minimum from its flagship planet Calypso.
Calypso payout distribution is as follows:
Source on Mindark/PP splits then Calypso/CLD splits remaining share.
There are 60,000 Calypso Land Deeds in supply.
Given this information, we can derive that PER WEEK:
And lastly:
Assuming that these splits are accurate OR is at least a smaller portion of it, I have the following assumptions and questions:
If any of the revenue split information is incorrect, let me know and I will adjust but this appears to be accurate based on sources and PlanetCalypso website.
Note that 4ped a week is CLD payout. This, they are pulling almost $100k USD a week. We can say that this pays employees and servers but we are not getting benefits of that. No big updates, lack of QA, and other.

What does the CLD payouts tell us?
CLD payouts can tell us how much Mindark is making at a minimum from its flagship planet Calypso.
Calypso payout distribution is as follows:
- Mindark receives 50% share of revenue
- Calypso (also Mindark) recieves 25% share of revenue
- Owners of Calypso Land Deeds receive 25% of revenue
Source on Mindark/PP splits then Calypso/CLD splits remaining share.
There are 60,000 Calypso Land Deeds in supply.
Given this information, we can derive that PER WEEK:
- For every 1 PED payout in a CLD, this equates to 60,000 PED paid out to CLD owners.
- For every 1 PED payout in a CLD, this equates to 60,000 PED paid out to Calypso.
- For every 1 PED payout in a CLD, this equates to 120,000 PED paid out to Mindark.
And lastly:
- For every 1 PED payout in a CLD, this equates to 240,000 PED removed from players due to activity.
Assuming that these splits are accurate OR is at least a smaller portion of it, I have the following assumptions and questions:
- Assertion: Explosive crafters and Recycle crafters are largely propping up CLD values due to their turn over rate.
- Assertion: Player activity is strong. Gambler activity is stronger.
- Assertion: The amount pulled out of the economy by planet partner/mindark revenue might be why "loot seems suppressed"
- Question: If 2,500 players hunt on Calypso or are Calypso born, this equates to approximately 96 PED a week per player. Obviously player activity ranges to serious turnover to punies, thus some people are paying more than others. People are losing significantly more. Where is the rest going if so many are struggling or complaining about boring loots?
[*]Question: Isn't $96000 USD/week (24kx4) (or slightly less) enough to give a damn about game quality? After all, if the quality was better, they would get more revenue.
[*]Question: Isn't $96000 USD/week (24kx4) (or less) enough to give a damn about server quality and scaling? Less lag = more players = more revenue. Very simple.
If any of the revenue split information is incorrect, let me know and I will adjust but this appears to be accurate based on sources and PlanetCalypso website.
