=Finding Minerals=
Each planet has only one type of Mineral, but each Mineral can be found only by gathering soil samples on a certain several planets. Minerals can be obtained either from destroying planets of from conducting [[PlanetsPlanetary Research|planet'''Planetary research''']]. Moreover, not all planets have Minerals Planetary research involves gathering soil samples. If the player has used up all the chances for gathering soil samples on and hasn't found the Mineral through destroying the current planet, he can only reattempt to find the Mineral on the same planet after entering a [[Black Hole]] or look for the mineral on other planets. The option to gather soil samples is unlocked through '''[[Planetary Research]]'''.
Each Mineral has a different '''base drop chance''', which increases as the player sends more [[Resources#Scientists|Scientists]] to the current planet. For each additional Scientist that is stationed on the planet, the chance is increased by 10% of its initial value.
Each Mineral that has been obtained increases either [[BPC]] or [[BPS]].
