The NFT has a job.
Roughnecks only produce when staked. Ownership grants the tool; participation brings it online.
TEXAS TEAGenesis mint · 10,000 Roughnecks
Mint your crew. Bring the field online. Produce $OIL and reinvest it into a larger operation.
01 THE THESIS
Texas Tea turns the familiar NFT stack into an operating system. The crew produces, the resource compounds, and every new asset extends what the field can do.
Roughnecks only produce when staked. Ownership grants the tool; participation brings it online.
$OIL is not the finish line. It is the resource operators use to add productive capacity and progress.
Crew, Barrels, and Rigs create a legible path from first worker to full field ownership.
Accumulate. Strategize. Reinvest. The asset is not what sits in the wallet—it is what the operation can produce.
02 THE PRODUCTIVE STACK
Each asset has a distinct role in the operation. Progress comes from combining them, not collecting interchangeable pictures.
The production layer

Your working crew. Stake Roughnecks to bring a field online and establish its recurring $OIL output.
The capacity layer

A productive sink for extracted $OIL. Barrels expand field capacity and add output to an active operation.
The ownership layer

The top of the operating stack. Rigs represent a mature field and unlock the road toward the Tycoon economy.
03 THE CORE LOOP
Every field starts with a Roughneck. The NFT is the productive unit, not a decorative pass.
Stake the crew to activate production. Unstaked inventory stays idle and produces nothing.
Active workers accrue the ecosystem resource on the published daily schedule.
Use $OIL to acquire Black Gold Barrels and turn production into a stronger operating position.
Scale crew and capacity toward Oil Rigs, Union status, and the next territory in the Texas Tea world.
04 THE GENESIS CREW
The genesis field is distributed across five working roles. Rarity changes the shape of the crew without changing the job: get the field producing.

Tier is what enters the field. Strategy is what the operator builds around it.
05 VISIBLE PROGRESSION

Convert extracted $OIL into a productive field asset. The Barrel is both a resource sink and a published +600 $OIL capacity boost.
EXTRACT → STORE → AMPLIFY
The mature field asset. Rigs move the player from production toward control of the operation and the Union economy.
CREW → FIELD → TYCOON06 THE OPERATING RESOURCE
$OIL connects every layer of Texas Tea. It leaves the ground as output and returns to the system as the resource used to deepen the operation.

Stake working crew and keep productive assets online.
Use $OIL to acquire capacity rather than leaving output idle.
More capacity strengthens the operation and opens the next layer.
07 LAUNCH SEQUENCE
Mint the genesis crew, stake Roughnecks, and establish the first productive $OIL positions.
FIELD ENTRYPut extracted $OIL back to work through Black Gold Barrels and build a more productive field.
COMPOUNDAdvance from worker to operator through Oil Rigs and the Union layer of the economy.
CONTROLCarry the operation into new territory, new assets, and the next stage of the Tycoon system.
SEASON 02New ground, greater operations, and the next chapter of the Tycoon economy. Season 01 builds the machine. Season 02 moves it.

08 FIELD NOTES
Texas Tea is a productive NFT game on Robinhood Chain, using ETH for settlement. Players assemble an oil operation from working crew, capacity assets, and field infrastructure, with $OIL connecting each layer.
A Roughneck becomes productive when it is staked and brought into an active field. The current project material describes a base output of 200 $OIL per active Roughneck per day.
Black Gold Barrels turn extracted $OIL into productive capacity. Current published materials describe a +600 $OIL yield boost, making Barrels a progression asset rather than passive storage.
Oil Rigs sit at the top of the Season 1 operating stack. They represent the move from running a crew to owning the field and prepare the player for the wider Tycoon economy.
$OIL is the operating resource of Texas Tea. Players produce it with active assets, deploy it into upgrades such as Barrels, and use that expanded capacity to progress through the economy.
Genesis field access opens soon. The mint schedule, supply windows, and official field notices will be published through Texas Tea channels.
