Space Acres

Space Acres is an opinionated GUI application for farming on Subspace Network.

Current status

Current status of the project is Alpha.

This means that while it should generally work, expect things to not work sometimes, break in unexpected ways and error handling to be lacking.

Current version supports Gemini 3h chain only and doesn't allow to select anything else. It supports upgrading existing installations from 3g.

Features

Current features:

• Configuration (reward address, node location, multiple farms, P2P ports)
• Node sync with displayed progress, speed and ETA
• Farmer plotting/farming piece cache/plotting/replotting progress display and speed calculation
• Farmer auditing/proving performance indicators
• Farmer sector state visualization

Upcoming features/capabilities: see open issues, also consider contributing if something is missing!

Installation

See docs/INSTALLATION.md for details

Project structure

The project at high level is structured in a few large modules:

• backend handles all the backend functionality
  • config contains configuration data structure with ability to read, write and validate it
  • farmer contains farmer implementation with a wrapper data structure that abstracts away its internals
  • networking contains networking stack that is shared between farmer and node with a wrapper data structure that abstracts away its internals
  • node contains consensus node with a wrapper data structure that abstracts away its internals
  • utils contains some low-level utilities
• docs contains documentation files
• frontend handles majority of frontend logic with each module corresponding to a major application screen/view
• res contains various non-code resources required for application operation and/or packaging
  • app.css contains a few small non-critical tweaks for presentation, it will likely be necessary to ship a GTK4 theme with the app in the future to ensure consistent look
  • linux contains Linux-specific resources
  • windows contains Windows-specific resources
• main.rs handles high-level UI and communication with backend, wiring everything together

Application supports bare minimum configuration and doesn't support operator functionality (not yet anyway).

How to build

In order to build this app you'll need to install both dependencies necessary for building Subspace and GTK4, follow their documentation for details, otherwise cargo run will get you where to want to be.
