Teams

Plant the World features a Team system that allows players to collaboratively capture zones, develop resources and control territory.

At the start of the game, every new player is placed in a one-member team, with a default name in the format "Player Name's team". Players may then invite others to join their team, or accept an invitation to join a team. Joining a team while in another team (including the initial team) will cause one to automatically leave the previous team.

Players in the same team share a message board through which they are able to communicate with each other. Teammates' owned zones will show up in green on the player's world map (as opposed to red for enemies).

Teammates share various benefits, such as the ability to collect resources from teammates' production buildings, upgrade each other's trees and buildings, use each other's portals, and share auto-collection and the speed boost granted by the Team Headquarters building.

All teams are ranked on the global leaderboard based on combined tree mass planted.

The first member of the team is the team leader. Team leaders enjoy special powers in the team, such as the ability to construct a single Team Headquarters building, and to disband a team. If the team leader leaves the team, the next oldest member becomes the leader.
