Alright - on to this week's post. This week I want to go into more detail on the resources you can find in Super Mining Mechs as I'm sure many of you are wondering how many juicy resources there are to collect!

In the game, planet Earth has run out of natural resources and it's up to you to find alternatives. Of course as any determined miner would - you go on an expedition to another planet to search for alternative resources. On launch the game will have three planets to explore, each with different resources to find. The resources in Super Mining Mechs are all based on the Periodic Table of Elements which includes all events that can be found on planet Earth.

Periodic Table of Elements


An overview similar to the real life Periodic Table of Elements is included in the game, showing you exactly what resources you have and have not yet found. Once found, you'll be able select the resource and view tons of useful info, such as its rarity, its location, its value, general info and how many you've found so far.

Objectives


To restock Earth's supply of natural resources, May will provide you with objectives consisting of a set of resources. When you find and deliver the set to May, she'll send them up to Earth and you'll unlock new modules to upgrade your mech. Progress is shared, so when playing online with friends you're collectively working on the same objectives!

Categories


The Periodic Table of Elements categorizes the elements categories and each planet will contain a certain set of elements. You can easily determine what category a resource is by its sparkles, as they correspond to the category color of the elements overview. You can also see this color in the background of the inventory slots. So no need to memorize the entire periodic table of elements haha!

Buildings


Buildings don't require specific resources but can be built with any resources from the specified categories. As long as the category fits, you can choose what you use to build with. Building requirements change based on the planet you're at to make sure they can always be built with local resources, so no need to bring stuff back and forth..

Alright, that's it for this week. See you next week with an important announcement so stay tuned for that or join the Discord make sure you don't miss anything!
