Resources
The amount of resources you collect per tick depends on the level of research / construction you have in
gathering the resource, the number of K-drones you have in the mines, and the number of additional
mine shafts you build. You'll need resources for purchasing new units, for diplomatic negotiations, missions,
and furthering your construction & research.
Each resource is unique in value and in the attributes it gives to the units constructed using that resource.
The differences are explained below:
- Bytanium: a dense, heavy, and extremely hard metal that is
excellent for use in armor products. Bytanium armor is the hardest,
strongest available armor. However, as it is so hard and has such
a high melting point, it is difficult to work with, thus using bytanium
slows down the processing time. Also, since it is so heavy, vehicles
built with bytanium frames tend to be slow. Outside of the discovery
of Cincomm-9, Bytanium is quite a rare metal and very valuable, so much
that it is used as a form currency in some places.
- Iron: Iron has been around in manufacturing for a long time.
Manufacturers
know pretty much all there is to know about iron, so iron has the
shortest processing time. Iron is used to make other metal alloys
that are strong, such as steel. Though not as hard as bytanium, it
is fairly strong.
- C-62: an extraordinarily light weight metal. Doesn't take
as long to process as bytanium, but does take a bit longer than iron.
However, it's incredibly light weight makes for vehicles that move
fast - faster than vehicles made of iron, and much faster than vehicles
made of bytanium.
