Beacons Guide (Owner) - V2.0Beacons are an important part of Celestial Butterfly and allow players to earn Lindens (value of the flower collected) and get resources (Flower Petals) essential for crafting and cultivation.
As a Beacon Owner, you can generate active traffic on your land!
There are two Beacon types, each with a different tax rate: 65% and 20%.
Each Beacon Pack contains a Beacon and a Blossoms Rezzer HUD.
When you add funds to your Beacon, a tax is applied. For example for a 65% Tax Beacon, if you add 50 L$ to your Beacon, 65% of this amount is deducted as tax for the creator of the Game.
To start your Beacon, rez it in your region. It will register in our system. You will need to accept debit payment to activate your Beacon.
Once rezzed and after accepting the debit payment, click on your Beacon to open the menu.
You can then view your budget and choose the desired multiplier (by default, it is set to x1).
Note that your Beacon is initially in "OFF" mode.
To activate it, you must have Blossoms linked to it and add Budget so that the Blossoms can be active.
Menu Details:
• Tax ⇨ The applied tax rate.
• Budget ⇨ Current allocated funds.
• Bonus Multiplier ⇨ Multiplier affecting Blossom value.
• L$ Budget ⇨ Add budget to your Beacon.
• ⍟ Multiplier ⇨ Set the Beacon’s multiplier.
• ⟳ Update ⇨ Update your Beacon.
• ❔ Help ⇨ Access this guide.
There are six types of Blossoms, each with its own value and petal yield. Harvest time ranges from 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on the type.
After a Blossom has been collected, it will disappear and reappear after a random time that can vary depending on the type of Blossom from 5 minutes to several hours.
The higher the value of the Blossom, the longer the respawn time will be.
Adonis ⇨ 5, 15 or 30 minutes
Aster ⇨ 1, 1.5 or 2 hours
Calendula ⇨ 3, 4 or 5 hours
Gerbera ⇨ 6, 8 or 10 hours
Guaillardia ⇨ 12, 14 or 16 hours
Lily ⇨ 24, 28 or 30 hours
If not already done, wear the Blossoms Rezzer Hud (Add). This will automatically detect the Beacon that belongs to you in the region where you are located.
If no Beacon is detected, make sure your Beacon is properly set and detach then re-add the Hud.
When the detection of the Beacon is done, you will see on the Hud its ID as well as the number of flowers that have already been linked to it.
6 buttons that are each linked to a type of Flower: Adonis, Aster, Calendula, Gerbera, Guaillardia and Lily.
When you select one of the flowers you will see below how many of that flower type are already linked to your Beacon.
If you want to Rez a new flower, place you then where you want to rez this flower, the flower will be placed at the level of the first obstacle that it will meet under your avatar (natural terrain or object) and just click on the button "Rez a New One" (If you are notified that there is no valid position, move a little and try again).
If necessary you can adjust the location of the flower but be careful not to push it too much into the ground or you might disturb the animations of the players when they pick them up.

Players can see your Beacon and all the Flowers ready to be picked up on the "Beacons Locations" Page on the Website.
When you launch your Beacon in x2 Event Mode, all active players will be notified via a message in their HUD through local chat.
This lets them know that an Event with your landmark is happening, facilitating direct teleportation to the Beacon. Events can also be checked directly on the website.
Game-wide events like Blossoms Harvest Fiesta can double petals collected without affecting your budget.
The Beacon’s panel displays status indicators:
🟢 Sufficient budget
🟡 Low budget
🔴 Out of budget
"Blossom To Collect" indicates how many flowers are activated and ready to be collected.
"Multiplier" indicates if the Blossoms Value are in X1 or in Event X2
Every minute your Beacon will perform a check of the flowers that are linked to it and according to their status activate them or not.
For each flower linked to the Beacon, if budget allows, the INACTIVE flowers will be automatically activated and the flowers in RELOADING mode will be reactivated if the time limit before reappearance is over.
Each activated flower will have its value deducted from your Beacon’s Budget. If the Beacon is in Event X2, this value will be doubled.
At the end of the Checking, the Beacon will update the number of Active flower displayed on its panel.
If no flower is active the Beacon will go into INACTIVE mode and will not be displayed on the website, it will reactivate itself during the next Checking if at least one flower is active.
To adjust the multiplier, click the "multiplier" button in the Menu of the Beacon. You can launch a X2 Event.
When an event is launched, the multiplier is locked for 30 minutes to prevent abuse. Respect the players visiting your sim and use the events as a means for them to earn L$.
After this 30 minutes period, you can change again the Event multiplier.
You can also choose the duration of the event, with several options available. For example, if you choose 2 hours in X2, the event will stay in X2 for 2 hours, then automatically switch to X1. You also have the option to leave an Event running continuously.
When you launch an X2 Event, all active flowers will automatically go to X2 and all the next flowers activated during the event will be in X2.
Also, when the Beacon goes back to X1 Mode, all active flowers will go back to X1 and the next ones will be in X1.
The budget will then be adjusted (debit or credit) accordingly.
The Beacon’s lantern indicates its current state:
By connecting to the Celestial Butterfly website via the game Hud, you have the possibility to access the Stumps & Beacons page.
From this page you can see the different Beacons that you own, its statistics and enter the information of the region in which it is located.
We have introduced an advanced feature called "Update" in the Menu of the Beacon.
This option is used to update the Beacon. To start, click on your Beacon for 3 seconds to receive the new version from CasperTech.
Accept the new Beacon to complete the update. The old Beacon will be automatically deleted, which is normal since the product is non-copyable.
Once the update is complete, rez the new Beacon on your land and accept debit payments as usual. Then, click on the "Update" Button in the Beacon Menu and follow the instructions to select and validate the Beacon to be updated.
You can check the Beacon IDs on the site or in the description of your Beacon via the right-click menu -> edit -> description, or on your personal account page in the "Stump Beacon" section.
