Minerals

StubsGame_KnowledgeResources
Minerals are part of the basic resource types, along with energy and highway deposit resources. They are also used in the production of boosts.

Mineral Harvesting

Minerals can be harvested from any room with a mineral and an accessible extractor. In rooms with a controller, both the controller itself and the extractor need to be owned by a player for their creeps to be able to harvest. In rooms with minerals but no controller (sector center and source keeper rooms), publicly-accessible extractors are always present, so anyone can harvest from them.

Depending on circumstances players may choose different harvesting strategies.

Uses

Boosts

Minerals can be combined in labs to produce boosts, which can be used to improve creep part effectiveness.

Commodities

Minerals can also be used in factories:

  • Base minerals or ghodium can be combined with energy to produce a compressed form of that mineral
  • Compressed minerals can be combined with resources harvested from deposits to produce commodities, which can then be sold to NPCs or other players on the market

Ghodium

Ghodium is a mineral compound produced by reacting UL and ZK. It can be processed into boosts with additional reactions, but it can also be used to launch nukes or gain additional safe mode activations.
