* Any [[asteroid]]s you have. Each roid produces 250 units per tick and can be initiated on the [[mining] page or stolen from other players using [[Ship Type#Astropod|pods]].
# Any [[Refinery]]-type [[structures]]. There are Refineries for each resource type. They produce 1000 of that resource per tick.
* Any [[Structures#Metal_Refinery|refinery]]-type structures. There are refineries for each resource type. They produce 1000 of that resource per tick. Refineries, like other structures, cannot be stolen, but they can be destroyed with [[Ship Type#Structure killer|structure killers]]
# The Core Extraction technology branch

* [[Engineering]]: Setting Mining as an engineering priority increases your production of all 3 resources. 1st priority gives you a 15% bonus, 2nd priority is 10% and 3rd priority is 5%.
===Bonuses===
* [[Finance Centre]]s: Finance Centres are a type of structure. Each one you have increases your bonus by half a percent.
* [[Population]]: Assigning a percentage of your population to minin increases your production of all 3 resources by an equivalent percentage. This stacks with the bonus from finance centers, see below.
* [[Golden Roid]]s: If you have the Metal, Crystal or Eonium Golden Roid, you get a 5% bonus for production of that resource.
* [[Structures#Finance_Centre|Finance centers]]: finance centres are a type of structure. Each one you have increases your income by half a percent. You cannot build more than 60 finance centers.

Bonuses are only applied to income from asteroids, refineries and core mining.

[[Terran]] ships use primarily metal, on a 4:3:3 ratio.

[[Cathaar]] ships use primariliy crystal, on a 3:4:3 ratio.
[[Zikonian]] ships use primarily eonium, on a 3:3:4 ratio.
[[Xandathrii]] ships use an equal proportion of resources.
[[Eitraides]] ships use a roughly equal proportion of resources, depending on what race the type of ship they are building belongs to.

In PAX, resources are used to buy anything from ships to structures to waves. There are three types of resources, Metal, Crystal and Eonium.

Collecting resources

You collect resources from the following:

  • Any asteroids you have. Each roid produces 250 units per tick and can be initiated on the [[mining] page or stolen from other players using pods.
  • Any refinery-type structures. There are refineries for each resource type. They produce 1000 of that resource per tick. Refineries, like other structures, cannot be stolen, but they can be destroyed with structure killers
  • The core extraction technology branch. There are four levels of research in this branch, from producing 1000 of each resource per tick (the starting level) to producing 12000 of each resource per tick. Core mining can neither be stolen nor destroyed.
  • You can steal resources from other planets with the 'Hacking: Resource Transfers' covert operation.
  • You can also gain salvage if you kill enemy ships in defence, either over your own planet or over the planets of overts

Bonuses

  • Population: Assigning a percentage of your population to minin increases your production of all 3 resources by an equivalent percentage. This stacks with the bonus from finance centers, see below.
  • Finance centers: finance centres are a type of structure. Each one you have increases your income by half a percent. You cannot build more than 60 finance centers.
  • Government: Some governments give a bonus to income from roids, refineries and core extraction.

Bonuses are only applied to income from asteroids, refineries and core mining.

Spending resources

Resources are used for almost everything to do with your planet:

Before PAX, Eonium was used as fuel when launching ships. Since then, Eonium has changed to a regular resource.

Buying ships

The ships of some races use certain types of resources more than others. In theory this could affect which targets you pick, but in practice the differences are so small as to be irrelevant. Terran, Cathaar and Zikonian ships require more metal, crystal and eonium, respectively. Xandathrii ships require all resources equally, while the ratio varies for Eitraides ships, according to which race the ship type originally belonged to.
