For those who prefer a visual guide, we have prepared installation videos to assist you. The videos will help you to set up the Space Acres Recommended farming application in under 10 minutes. Please follow the installation videos to use SubWallet to create a compatible Substrate account and refer to the detailed guide on downloading and configuring Autonomys' farming application, Space Acres.

Choosing Your Farming Method​

Before reviewing system requirements, it's important to choose the right farming method for your needs. Autonomys offers two primary options for farming: Space Acres (GUI) and the CLI.

Space Acres Recommended​

Space Acres is a user-friendly, multi-platform GUI application that simplifies getting started with farming. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, it offers the most common set of configuration options in an intuitive visual interface, making it perfect for beginners and most farming scenarios across all major operating systems.

Why choose Space Acres:

  • Multi-platform support: Native applications for Windows, macOS, and Linux
  • Beginner-friendly: Visual setup wizard guides you through the entire process
  • Simplified configuration: Most common farming options available through easy-to-use interface
  • Real-time monitoring: Visual dashboard shows farming progress, sector status, and rewards
  • Automatic updates: Built-in update mechanism keeps your farming software current
  • Error handling: Clear error messages and troubleshooting guidance
  • No command line knowledge required: Everything managed through the graphical interface

Perfect for:

  • First-time farmers getting started with the Autonomys Network
  • Users who prefer visual interfaces over command-line tools
  • Standard farming setups with typical configuration requirements
  • Anyone wanting a "set it and forget it" farming experience

CLI​

The CLI is designed for users seeking additional configuration options, advanced setups, or specialized farming scenarios.

Why choose CLI:

  • Advanced configuration: Access to all available farming parameters and fine-tuning options
  • Multiple farms with single node: Efficiently manage multiple farm locations from one node instance
  • Farming clusters: Support for large to massive farming operations with distributed architecture
  • Automation & scripting: Easy integration with automation tools and custom scripts
  • Resource optimization: Granular control over system resource allocation
  • Headless operation: Run on servers without graphical interfaces

Perfect for:

  • Experienced users comfortable with command-line interfaces
  • Users needing specific configuration parameters not available in Space Acres
  • Farming clusters and enterprise deployments with distributed components (node, controller, cache, plotter, farmer) across multiple servers to optimize load distribution and accelerate plotting
  • Automation and integration with existing infrastructure
  • Headless server environments

* Note that these are the officially supported minimum versions. For example, Windows 10 will not be officially supported but is likely to work. The team will not prioritize supporting issues that are only present on Windows 10.​

硬件​

硬件CPURAM节点存储农场存储
Minimum ¹4 核心及以上8GB100GiB ²100GiB
推荐Intel Core i7-6700或相当的16GB以上256GB ³
¹ Nodes that meet minimum requirements should be able to farm and sync with the network under normal conditions. However, performance may decline during periods of heavy network load, such as when blocks are filled with numerous transactions.​
² While 100GiB is sufficient for running a farming node, a domain node will require more than 100GiB of storage.​
³ Storage contribution impacts block and vote rewards on the Autonomys Network. More farmed sectors will lead to faster and more frequent rewards. You can start with as little as 100GiB, but allocating more will maximize your reward potential.​
网络方面的注意事项

运行节点和收益耕作可能会消耗大量数据。建议使用稳定且无限制的网络连接。

参考硬件​

我们的基准测试是在Intel Core i7-6700 CPU上进行的。我们调整了交易权重，以确保一个完整的区块中不包含超过该CPU在2秒区块执行时间限制内可以处理的交易数量。这确保了与Intel Core i7-6700相当或使用更好硬件的节点能够全容量处理区块，而不出现性能问题。

虽然使用低于此规格硬件的收益耕作节点在大多数情况下能够有效运行，但在网络活动高峰期可能会面临挑战。如果区块持续包含大量交易，规格较低的节点可能难以跟上，从而影响收益耕作的性能和奖励。

您可以查看用于参考硬件的详细机器信息。

Storage​

不支持硬盘驱动器

Hard disk drives are not supported. The use of smart caching, tiered storage, RAID, or other acceleration methods will not be effective due to the significant random read IOPS required for the proving process.

需要使用SSD存储。不必使用高端型号，来自知名制造商的中档SSD，具备足够的耐用性，应该就足够了。对于不太知名的品牌要谨慎，因为它们可能面临与保持一致读取性能相关的问题。您也可以使用NVMe SSD，但这并不是必需的。

文件系统 (Linux)​

Linux 文件描述符限制

Linux systems may have a default file descriptor limit, which can vary based on distribution. Exceeding this limit could cause errors. For detailed information, visit our Tips & Tricks guide.

该文件系统最大化了收益耕作的可用空间。

Recommended Formatting Command for Drives Dedicated to Subspace Farms:
sudo mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -T largefile4 -C 16384 -O bigalloc /dev/sdX
