Durasteel

Durasteel is, in essence, a metal alloy made from the base materials:

• Carvanium
• Lommit
• Meleenium
• Neutronium
• Zersium

This ultra-light alloy, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and heavy mechanical stress, is used in all kinds of construction—from buildings to armored ground units and starships. It is therefore one of the most essential materials, especially for large Imperial capital ships.


Tibanna Gas

Huge floating stations filter this extremely rare gas directly from the atmosphere, for example from the well-known gas giant Bespin. After filtration, it is either stored highly compressed in pressure tanks or frozen in carbonite for easier transport. The gas is used as a high-energy conductor in engines and blaster weapon ammunition.


Crystal

Crystals are the diamonds of space. Due to their optical ability to split, focus, or direct light into certain components, they are among the most expensive raw materials in the galaxy. The purer and larger a crystal is, the more valuable it becomes. Extraction is labor-intensive and expensive, even with robotic assistance. After mining, the purity is evaluated, and in the best case, the crystal can be cleanly cut. This final step is also costly and time-consuming.

   Durasteel / Tibanna Gas / Crystal are automatically mined depending on the mine's upgrade level and are only available locally without transport!   

Energy Cells

Energy cells are the Li-ion batteries of the Star Wars universe. They are the primary power supply for countless devices. Depending on the size of the item being powered, the size of the energy cell must be adjusted accordingly. In Hidden Empire, only standardized energy cells are produced, which are used in starships and ground vehicles of the factions.
Energy cells are the only resource that must be actively produced by the player! To do so, you must own an energy cell factory and follow these steps:

1.) On the left in the navigation menu, select the submenu item 'Economy' (highlighted in yellow).

2.) On the right side of the newly opened subpage, you will find the button \"Place Order\" (yellow border). Click this button to start energy cell production.

3.) Wait until the production has finished or the production time has expired. Then you can directly start again from step 1 and produce more energy cells.


Credits

The currency among resources. This resource is also generated automatically—depending on the upgrade level of the respective building—in housing blocks or administrative buildings. Unlike the three minable resources Durasteel / Tibanna Gas / Crystal, credits are globally available!
