Resources

This is a list of all resources which can be collected and deposited in The M.U.L.E.

Any extra resources collected past a quota aren't shown, but will still provide Experience Points, the same goes for any Nitra used on a resupply

Mineral values are always rounded down before XP calculations. The calculated XP is rounded down as well.

Failing a mission will give you a compensation of 25% of the minerals stored in Molly at the time of the mission ending.

For those about to rock and stone, we salute you!

Rock and stone in the heart brothers and sisters!

Thanks, makes sense. Useful Guide :)

Hey just curious about the mining expeditions, as it seems you used 3 length and complexity on both the 325 and 400 morkite versions, I'm assuming you meant to do 3-2 on the 325 and 3-3 on the 400?

Overall a very nice guide that's fairly quick to search through and find what you need without having to look at 5 different wiki pages.

When you collect it with the Fuel Canisters

Mathroy 20 May, 2022 @ 2:22pm

How does Oil Shale give XP? You can't mine and deposit it.

Anobis1503 17 May, 2022 @ 12:52pm

... on a second thought, I guess you skipped to list the "Rich Atmosphere" Anomaly because it is not modifying exp, minerals or gold :D?

Anobis1503 17 May, 2022 @ 12:48pm

If I am not mistaken, you've missed the "Rich Atmosphere" Anomaly.
Other than that: One big comprehensive and awesome guide.
Rock and Stone!

Thanks for the feedback, we've fixed the issue for the Refinery mission and have now added the survival bonus to the Missions category.
