Changes

Minerals can be obtained either from destroying planets of from conducting [[Planetary Research|'''Planetary research''']].

Planetary research involves gathering soil samples. If the player has used up all the chances for gathering soil samples and hasn't found the Mineral through destroying the planet, he can reattempt to find the Mineral on the same planet after entering a [[Black Hole]] or look for the mineral on other planets.

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.

The chance to find a Mineral from destroying a planet is equal to half of its base drop chance.
