Shiro Games is revealing more about mining and resources in its upcoming space exploration meets survival crafting title, SpaceCraft.
The latest blog is the second a series, and the prior entry had to do with the tutorial and all of the basics of space stations and character creation. The game is still in development so some things are still subject to change, but since survival crafting mechanics are a big part of the game, resources and gathering them are vital.
You’ll have to scan planetary surfaces to locate resource nodes that have what you need, and then get down there and use your mining tool to extract those resources. You start with a basic mining laser and as you progress, you’ll be able to unlock higher-tier tools that you can use to mine higher tier nodes, break through tougher nodes, as well as mine faster and more efficiently.
Later on, you’ll gain access to specialized tools for things like liquid and gas resources, and learn how to use missiles to break through shells. Some resources are volatile, so you’ll have to learn how to avoid blowing everything up.
The full blog takes us through the process with screenshots and clips to get a feel for what’s to come in SpaceCraft.
