Hexite is the primary resource in ZeroSpace, required for all base construction with automatic extractors providing steady resource income from hexite patches.
Overview
Hexite is the primary resource in ZeroSpace
All bases must be built on Hexite Pits, making hexite both a resource and a strategic location requirement
The amount of Hexite Harvesters differs for each faction, however their maximum output is identical
Base Construction
Strategic Placement
Initial Base: 150% Mining Efficiency Rate
Additional Bases: 100% Mining Efficiency Rate
Location Lock: All bases must be built on Hexite Pits
Persistent: Hexite Pits do not disappear
Limited Output: Hexite Pits have a limited amount of resources, once drained, they mine at a 25% rate
Automatic Extractors
Resource Generation
Initial Base: Majority of Hexite Extractors already built
Expansion Bases: No Hexite Extractors initially constructed
Sequential Build: Remaining extractors built/rebuilt one at a time
Hands-Free: No manual construction/reconstruction required
Mining Efficiency
All factions use identical Extractor with standardized mining rates:
Active Patches
Full Yield Mining
Mining Rate: 6 Regular, 9 Rich Hexite/second
Duration: Until Pit depletion
Depleted Patches
Exhausted Yield Mining
Mining Rate: 25% of Original Mining Rate (1.5 Regular, 2.2 Rich)
Duration: Indefinite (Pits/Bases do not disappear)
Backup Income: Continues after depletion
Long-Term: Sustained low-level resource generation
