Resources (modding)

Work in Progress

Feel free to contribute and don't worry about perfection - other editors can make corrections if necessary. Just get creating!

Resources are defined by their ability to be consumed for a useful effect. This could be :

• to fulfill the requirements for the construction of a part.
• as fuel so that a part can function.
• as ammunition consumed by a weapon.
• sold for credits.

Forms

Resources can exist in different forms and places :

• Floating nugget : these are resources that you can see out in space. They are typically created by mining, or the destruction of parts. You can then order crew to gather them.
• Carried by crew.

• Stored in parts : these are resources that belong to a part's content at the moment. They may also end up in space on destruction, depending on the settings of the part's storages ; however, some resources have no floating nugget equivalent and will be lost instead.

These last 2 forms are handled by the ResourceRules class.
