Mining & Resources

Mining in Rezium is the foundation of the game’s economy. Players extract critical resources, refine them into valuable materials, and trade them on the interstellar markets.

How Mining Works

Establishing Mining Operations

Players construct mining rigs and extraction facilities on designated slots within their base. Each sector contains varied mineral densities, making strategic placement essential.

Surveying the Land – Players deploy scanners to detect mineral-rich zones. Mining Rig Placement – Different rigs specialize in specific resources (Ferrium, Krystalen, Plasmanite). Extraction & Refinement – Raw materials are refined into tradeable resources via the Refinery & Processing Plant. Storage & Market Access – Refined goods are stored in depots before being transported or traded.

The efficiency of mining depends on: Upgraded Equipment – Higher-tier drills increase extraction speed. Energy Management – Rigs require Voltrium to function effectively. Sector Bonuses – Some locations offer natural mining boosts.

Resources & Their Uses

Each mineral has a role in construction, economy, and factional control.

Common Resources

Resource	Source	Primary Use
Ferrium	Mars	Base construction, armor plating
Krystalen	Rare pockets on Mars	High-tier research, energy conductors
Voltrium	Mars, Io	Powering buildings & shield defenses
Plasmanite	Asteroids	High-energy fuel for ships & advanced tech

Advanced & Rare Resources

Resource	Source	Function
Rezium	Kalin System (Eren, Kalin asteroid belts)	Terraforming, base efficiency booster
Eldros	Io	Enhancing AI systems & cybernetic upgrades
Miravon	Triton	Quantum tech & advanced space travel

Rezium is the rarest and most valuable resource, heavily controlled by the USF and faction traders. It cannot be mined on Mars. Players must purchase or transport it from deep-space locations.

The Rezium Economy

Mining is directly tied to the game’s market system, which follows supply & demand principles.

Market Features

Player-Driven Prices – Resource values fluctuate based on sector mining activity. USF Treasury Control – KOR (in-game currency) is pegged to Rezium stockpiles, stabilizing economic balance.

Faction-Based Trade

• Nova Ares Market (NAX)– Safe, stable prices for bulk resources.

• Phobos Market (PMX) – Black market deals with higher risks & rewards.

• Rolos Industrial Hub (RIX) – Raw metal refining for advanced shipbuilding.

Mining Progression & Advanced Techniques

Players can upgrade mining efficiency using: AI-Optimized Drills – Increases yield & extraction speed. Resource Compression Tech – Allows storage of larger volumes. Automated Haulers – Reduces transport costs, improving profit margins.

Future expansions will introduce: Asteroid Mining Ships – Unlocks deep-space mining in Kalin. Terraforming with Rezium – Allows planetary transformation for long-term base sustainability.

Strategy Tips for Resource Management

Diversify mining operations – Secure multiple resource types to avoid shortages. Upgrade storage early – Prevent resource overflow waste. Monitor market trends – Sell high-value minerals when demand spikes. Protect transport routes – Ensure resources reach faction hubs safely.

Rezium’s Mining & Economy System rewards strategic planning and long-term investments. Smart miners will build empires—reckless ones will fall to economic collapse.
