Gathering Resources in Space Invasion

In Space Invasion, you need different materials to build and grow your space empire. These are called resources. There are four main types of resources you'll collect:

• Pig Iron
• Metal
• Kryptonite
• Spice

What Each Resource Does

Each resource has a special use in the game:

• Pig Iron is a basic material. You use it to upgrade your buildings. It also helps you create Metal.
• Metal is stronger and more flexible than Pig Iron. It's mostly used to build spaceships and stronger structures. Metal is the most common resource you'll use in the game.
• Kryptonite is important for almost all types of ships and buildings. It's also essential for doing research and discovering new technologies.
• Spice is a very rare and valuable material. It's super important for making your ship engines powerful. Spice is also used in advanced research and for creating special alloys. It even plays a role in food production for your empire. Having enough Spice is key for a growing space empire!

Trading Resources

You can trade resources with other players in the game. There's a general rule for trading them: 6 parts Pig Iron, 3 parts Metal, 4 parts Kryptonite, and 1 part Spice.

For example, if you have 6,000 units of Pig Iron, you could trade it for:

• 3,000 units of Metal, or
• 4,000 units of Kryptonite, or
• 1,000 units of Spice.

Mining for Materials

Mining is one of the first things you'll do when you start playing Space Invasion. To get the four resources, you need to upgrade your mines.

How Mining Works

Every time you upgrade a mine, it produces more resources each hour. But be careful! Each upgrade also uses more energy. So, you'll also need to upgrade your Fusion Plant. The Fusion Plant creates the energy your mines need to work.

Planet Fields

Every upgrade to a mine or building uses up a "field" on your planet. On your first planet, you start with 230 available fields. You need to manage these fields wisely as you expand!

Building Your Empire

Building is another important part of the game, right after you start mining. You can construct and improve various structures to help your empire grow.

Key Buildings and Their Uses

• Development Center: Upgrading this building helps you build factories and other structures faster.
• Research Lab: This lab lets you unlock different types of research. Upgrading it also makes your research projects finish more quickly.
• Weapons Factory: You need the Weapons Factory to build all your spaceships and defense systems. Each level you upgrade it, the faster your ships and defenses are produced.
