Gaining Minerals
To say first off, The minerals you get for receiving shipments changes depending on how much you have saved in Planetary Production. Some have postulated that it depends on your level, but it IS possible to obtain Kurenite at Level 20 with a full shipment and 6 planets doing nothing but high level mining. This isn't exactly a wise investment (you'll be rich, but have no artifacts or research to spend it on), but it is certainly an option. If you are getting poor mineral shipments, then try and save up more, or increase your cargo space so that you can receive more minerals at a time. However much level factors into it is not a strong gauge of what you will receive.
Minerals are gained by receiving mineral shipment. A shipment can be found on the Trade tab of the game. In there, assuming that a planet has been colonized and is producing minerals, a countdown called "Planetary Production Output" will be displayed, counting down until the next shipment of minerals is received (this countdown resets once every hour). Below this counter is a "Resource" column, with the row "Minerals". Next to it is the amount of minerals that is currently being produced per shipment. The "Total Planet Capacity" is the maximum amount of minerals you can have stored, ready to "Receive Minerals Shipment".
The number of minerals that will be obtained in a shipment depends on how much has been stored up. If 1,500 minerals have been stored, then pressing the button "Receive Minerals Shipment" will net 1,500 minerals of assorted kinds (assuming that the owner of the planet has in excess of 150 cargo space free on their ship). However, if, for example, you have 7,500 minerals stored, but you have only 150 cargo free (You'd need 15 planets for this example to work, so a minimum of level 56), then you would have a SIGNIFICANTLY higher chance to receive Kurenite or similar ores than you would if you only had 1,500 minerals. Level plays no part in this.
Uses of Minerals
All minerals can be sold and are used to create Structures and Modules. Selling minerals becomes the "best" way to earn Credits at later ranks. It is also easier and more Energy efficient then gaining Credits through Missions.
Here is the Current market Price on the minerals when Buying from the market. (When selling to the market you receive a 20% tariff on ALL minerals)
Mineral | Buying Price |
---|---|
Dynite | 11 CR |
Chrisium | 95 CR |
Darrinyte | 1,151 CR |
Hydium | 3,981 CR |
Erixion | 6,862 CR |
Pawlacite | 39,702 CR |
Dieterion | 131,379 CR |
Dysillon | 473,441 CR |
Kurenite | 1,502,201 CR |
Aidonium | 17,677,527 CR |
