There are five resources in the game. You can collect them through space adventures, exploration, and trading at planetary markets.
| Resource | Base Price | Storage per Unit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Satoshi | 1 | 0 | The universal currency. Takes no cargo space |
| Gold | 1,750 | 2 | Premium resource, needed for high-tier upgrades |
| Scraps | 40 | 10 | Common crafting material, used heavily in upgrades |
| Fuel | 30 | 0 (tank) | Stored in the spaceship's fuel tank, not the cargo hold |
| Rum | 100 | 1 | Boosts morale, required for teleportation and some upgrades |
Every planet has a market where you can buy and sell resources. Prices fluctuate based on supply and demand at each planet, so the same resource can cost different amounts on different planets.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Your Captain's Trade Price bonus directly affects the buy and sell prices you get. A better Captain means better deals;
- Prices update periodically with slight randomization;
- Storage space is limited by your spaceship's cargo hold. Plan accordingly before buying in bulk;
- Fuel has its own dedicated tank and doesn't eat into cargo space.
Besides trading, there are several ways to gather resources:
- Space adventures: Destroy asteroids and enemies to collect fragments of Scraps, Gold, Fuel, and Rum. The longer you survive, the better the loot;
- Exploration: Send your crew to explore the planet you're orbiting. Your Pilot's Exploration bonus affects how much you find;
- Asteroids: Your own asteroids contain resources that can be mined over time.
- Satoshi: Hiring pirates, repairs, buying other resources, spaceship upgrades, asteroid upgrades
- Gold: High-tier spaceship upgrades (hull, engine), asteroid upgrades
- Scraps: Most spaceship and asteroid upgrades, building teleportation pads and space coves
- Fuel: Traveling between planets. Running out of fuel means you're not going anywhere
- Rum: Teleportation (1 Rum per crew member), boosting pirate morale, some upgrades. Essential for Spugna pirates
