SUMMARY OF MOONSCAPE DEV DIARY #9 & 10

Hello Moonscapers! Another publication from your favorite network is here.

For months now, we have been learning about the Moonscape game, keeping you up to date with lessons that explain its build, design, and working. So far, it's been great and we have discussed and explained different aspects of the game, especially as regard gameplay.

Today I bring to you more information about the moonscape game. In this episode of Dev Diary, we will explain deeply the core functions of the game. This is useful as we will cover areas not thoroughly explained before. At the end of this thread, you will be more than ready to explore and dominate the Moonscape.

Core Functionalities in Moonscape

Resource Extraction

Resource Extraction is a core function required for growth in the game. Without it, you cannot gather the various resources such as Cryptonium, Decentralize, Yield stones, and Energy juice all spread out on the moon's surface.

In the game, there are two building structures with the function for Resource Extraction, the Industry Inc and the Power Plant buildings. As a new player, if you choose any of these buildings during gameplay, you will find it empty. To start, you need to select the resource icon and then choose which resource you intend to build an extractor for.

To build more, repeat the process; however, this is limited by the building level and the number of available slots. There are 2 slots for buildings at level 3, 3 for level 6, and 4 for level 10. When using this function for the first time, you will receive an extractor to help you start your colony. This extractor doesn’t require construction and repairs. The subsequent need for extractors will require construction and repairs whenever damaged. These make the two types of extractors.

Note, constructed extractors have durability and require maintenance periodically. If the durability of an extractor reaches zero (0), it can no longer be repaired. Any other need would require the construction of a new one which costs more than repairs.

Mining Research

Mining Research is the function that can improve an extractor’s efficiency and this can be found in the Capital Forge and Resource Corp buildings. To start, first, choose an extractor then click on the resource icon to improve the extractor. There are three aspects of extractor enhancement; Durability, Construction time, and Extraction amount.

Durability describes the longevity of the work-life of the machine. The higher the durability, the longer the machine can do its job. An extractor having a durability of 300 will last for five (5) hours. Your first extractor, which was given at the start has an infinite shelf life and will continue to work for as long as you wish it to.

Construction time refers to the duration of machine construction. To construct faster, you need to increase your building level. This does not directly apply to your first extractor which can be built in just a few minutes.

Extraction amount refers to how fast your machinery can extract its given resource. For example, at level 1 a particular resource type can extract 100 units per hour, but at level 5 it may extract up to 2000 in one hour.

City Defense

The City Defense function is responsible for attacking or warding off attacks and this can be found in the Refinery building. The Refinery building can only be constructed once per city. In a battle clash, a city’s battle system actively involves the attacker if you are getting attacked, your defense capacity depends on your building level and other building upgrades done prior to the attack. The best option is to prepare in advance using this defense function.

Attack & Defense Options

The function labeled Dome will increase the time the dome of your city is able to protect it during an attack. The Dome will not only increase time but decrease the time for the attack to land a hit.

• Damage will increase the amount of damage inflicted by the city’s defense turrets, causing great havoc with each hit to the attacking rover.
• Range helps with the early detection of an attacking rover. At lower levels, the rover will be closed before detection, but at higher levels, there is no place to hide from the turret onslaught.
• Speed increases how attacking speed of the defensive turrets fire. Starting with every few seconds, this function will turn the battlefield into bullet rain at higher levels.

Another defensive skill is the application of a hidden mine. If you visit any of your cities where the Refinery building is located, you will see the Mine button at the top left corner. Click on this to move into the city’s battlefield area. Then you identify and reposition your hidden mines along possible tracks for rover movements during city battles.

Once confirmed, the mine will be placed in that location. During an attack, a mine is hidden from sight and can cause tremendous damage to an attacking rover if it passes over it. These functions work best when upgraded to their highest level.
