You can increase your stocks of Metal (M), Crystal (C) or Eonium (E) in one of three ways.
You can research the planetary mining part of the tech tree. These are resources that your planet produces every tick regardless of any other factors.
You can build constructions that mine your planet.
These produce a specific number of resources per tick. Their effectiveness can be enhanced by ensuring that a certain proportion of your constructions are finance centres (check the manual for the optimal percentage)
You can mine asteroids in one of two ways:
a) You spend resources to initiate asteroids, and from then on you gain X resource per asteroid. You can choose what resource you initiate an asteroid to be, so pay attention to your race ship stats and see what you will need most of. Note that the cost of initiating asteroids increases with every one you own, so at some point option b will be better
b) You build a fleet and attack other planets with the aim of stealing their asteroids. Once you have stolen them and they are back at your home planet you will get the resources from them every tick.
After the very early stages of the round, Tinir98, gathering resources (M, C, E) from Asteroids is by far the greatest source of income for your planet.
