What is Pixels Chapter 3: Bountyfall?
Pixels Chapter 3 is a massive multiplayer race. Join a Union → Raise your Union’s Hearth Health → First Union to 100% wins! The Season ends once a Union’s Hearth Health reaches 100%, and the winning Union takes home 70% of the total prize pool. In the Hearth Manager below, you can see stats for total health, deposits, and sabotages as well as a tab for Offerings on the left. Here’s what it means:
In Bountyfall, all three Unions have one Hearth each. Place matching Yieldstones into YOUR Union’s Hearth to increase its health. For example, the Wildgrove Union Hearth accepts Verdant Yieldstones, the Seedwright Union accepts Flint Yieldstones, and the Reaper Union accepts Hollow Yieldstones.
There are two ways to get Yieldstones: Via your home’s Infinifunnel as rewards for completing task board tasks, and via crafting with a Yieldstone Press and Yield Reactors. Learn how to craft Yieldstones in Pixels’ guide here.
Offerings, Sabotage, and Betrayal
Offerings do one of two things: Amplify the power of Yieldstones, or protect Hearths from sabotage. For example, a Power Offering can level up your Hearth from Level 0 to Level 1. This will speed-up your Union’s journey to 100% Hearth Health! However, sabotage is much more interesting.
Players can send the wrong Yieldstone to opposing Unions’ Hearths. For example, the Wildgrove Union might send extra Verdant to the Seedwright Union. This will lower the Seedwright Union’s Hearth Health. Defence Offerings protect YOUR Union from these malicious Yieldstones.
Pro-tip: You can switch Unions once at any time. After that, switches require a 50 $PIXEL Harvest Union Changer and a 48-hour cooldown period.
Choosing your Union
Wildgrove → Needs Verdant Yieldstones
Wildgroves believe in letting the land breathe. You will see the land grow wild in their keep. They believe every root and river knows how to heal on its own. Balance is not forged, it is allowed. If you feel the same, you might just be a Wildgrove.
Seedwright → Needs Flint Yieldstones
Seedwrights believe the land thrives when guided. Left alone, it devours itself. The Hearths respond to care, effort, and discipline. Seedwrights rebuild not by chance, but by hands that tend with purpose. When you believe in discipline, you believe in Seedwrights.
Reaper → Needs Hollow Yieldstones
Reapers believe life and death are the same harvest. They acknowledge that nature gives and takes. They remember the price of the First Flame. Others forget. But they choose to offer what must be given. Reapers believe light and darkness should coincide.

How rewards work in Bountyfall
Each Season lasts until the first Union reaches 100% Hearth Health. Here’s how much each Union can take home in a Season:
🥇 1st place Union: 70% of the rewards pool
🥈 2nd place Union: 30% of the rewards pool
🥉 3rd place Union: starter Yieldstones for the next season!
Unions will distribute rewards to their members based on contribution. For example, a Wildgrove member who contributed a lot will earn more than a Wildgrove member who only contributed a little. Union members who make no contributions will not earn rewards.
Remember: The more Yieldstones placed into Hearths, the larger the total reward pool. Reward pools will reset at the start of each new Season. There are also special rewards set aside for the top player each Season!
