Welcome to the third eXode weekly #oneup report! We have some new development teasers that testers will get to see early next week! Not an Away-Teams tester? Our developer is currently scouting some new communicative testers. So some lucky new players with a good rating in Conversation might be contacted tomorrow.
We already got our first taste of investigating a wildlife. So today, why don't we discuss resources?

Resources

Exploitable resources on planet Casrarene

Your resources are your vegetation, ore, and minerals.

Vegetation will likely be a source of more biofragments/biochemicals for use in crafting to create things like medicine or other drugs. I presume vegetation may also be a source of food. I have to be careful with this, particularly with any that I might find in the Susas Sunplains since one of my planetary dangers is inedible food. Theory: if the animals eat the plants, does that make them inedible too, like the monarch caterpillar? Perhaps I need to stop drawing Earthly conclusions on this alien world.

(All speculation ends here, as the following information came straight from the developer!)

Ore is more abundant when compared to minerals. It serves as a construction material with some "structure components" being made entirely of ore. Not all ores are created equal. Some may be more brittle than others, and therefore suited to different "construction groups". Imagine building a habitat, bunker, or some other defensive structure like a wall using ores. Ores also have different affinities. Some may only or mostly be found at a certain depth. Ore may also have an affinity for a certain or even several minerals.

**Minerals** will be harder to find than ores. They will be utilized to create rare alloys, components and in complex modules. They can be gemstones or not as well as metallic or non-metallic. If minerals have an affinity with an ore, as mentioned above, they will usually be found *within* that ore. Minerals also have an affinity for a certain depth, with increased chances to find them there. Be sure to bring a drilling machine (along with some power) in order to be able to reach those deepest and rarest resources. Investigating resources won't come in the next update, but it might possibly come after that.

Current development is focusing on refining wildlife and wildlife combat. I have already queued investigations for all my wildlife so of course my attention and excitement has shifted to resources. I also wanted to get this information out there to people not in the eXode discord yet (link to join below) or those who are but might have missed it, before it gets lost or (at least temporarily) forgotten about.

Other Developments

Social events will be implemented into investigative missions in a future update! Perhaps your team stops for a short break and some conversation occurs.
Each character will fit into a certain basic lifestyle type that will be color coded between either red, green, and blue. Red and blue will be polar opposites with green being able to tolerate both to some degree. Don't worry though as there are also other personality details to be taken into consideration, meaning a "red" person can still be good friends with someone who is "blue".

Acquisitions?

No new acquisitions I didn't already have. There is still one Alpha card I'm looking for. I have three but need four. Do you know what I'm talking about? If you guessed The Rebellion Secrets (they knew), you guessed correctly. This is one of eXode's most highly coveted card (besides the promo cards). I need one base copy and three extras to burn to in order to fully upgrade it. Once fully upgraded, you can get achievement rewards from a special Rebels drop table, if you load it on your ship and succeed at EVAC that is.
If anyone out there is reading this transmission and has at least 1 spare, perhaps we can come to an arrangement.

What is eXode?

eXode is a real-time strategy space colonization game here on the Hive Blockchain. If you still have not purchased your starter pack, use this referral code (de7ed45) and you'll also receive 2 free Alpha Booster Packs with 5 NFT cards each along with a free Epic Alpha Character!

In the future, these lab reports will contain much more substance (and numbers!) including season objective rewards, legacy rewards (when your game...ends), and of course 🍉 [MELN] activities.
🍉 [MELN] is the alliance I co-founded, the Market Expansion Leaders Navy. Our leader, @birdbeaksd, is also the host of eXode's only weekly giveaway. For a in-depth guide for anything and everything eXode-related, you can take a look at this post.

What is The 1UP Cartel?

The 1UP-Cartel is a mix between a gaming guild like YGG (that invests into gaming assets and creates scholarships for gamers, sharing the gaming revenue), a dividend token (similar to BRO, LBI, INDEX and UTOPIS, paying out regular dividends to token holders from part of the revenue stream) as well as one of the most extensive curation service initiative on the Hive-Engine ecosystem thus far.

Actually, it's very possible that Investigate Resource (ore, mineral, vegetation) will make the cut!

However, just like before with the wildlife study, the game inspector report may expand later about what you can actually read on these results,

Please let it make the cut, commander! The personality traits of the characters sounds very complex and almost as my they truly have a mind of their own. Did you create an AI?? Haha

Thanks for the update I am on the Discord but I get confused about what is only available to testers and what I as a regular player can access. I believe that I understand now that until mid week I can only run the Evac and Landing. Will some of this new content be for all players in the mid week release. Will playing with the starter cards be viable or will it be a must to survive to own some other cards?

The starters come with set crew (members that you can also find in boosters). You can find cargo prefab installations in boosters but you can also survive by loading cargo from the space station. Playing with only a starter can totally be viable (but you might find yourself in need of some weapons). You are right about evac and landing. The updates coming will first be tested by those who signed up for the ongoing Away Teams challenge.
