Hello, pilots and civilians and welcome to the fourteenth installment of the weekly eXode lab report! Dates have been dropped! Set your alarms! There is a big release planned for Monday which will include:
- Landscape Features
- Some Atmospheric Features
- New UI
- New Varied Resources!
The last point is probably one of the most interesting! I think it means we get to see what all we have gathered in terms of what is currently generally labeled as "materials" and "food". These updates will hint at future actions we'll be able to take like Cooking and Construction. I wonder how much ore of each type my personal account has collected. They have amassed a whopping 19 units! Meanwhile, the cartel-exode team have collected just 3 units but there's only one type of ore on the jungle planet of Coune so they must all be Amucavnur.
By about Friday of next week, the Away Teams 1 and Game Inspector features will be put on pause in preparation for the migration to the new Colonization Loop! Pilots now have less than a week to wrap up, train, and do whatever to make your colony ready for the next features!
Scientific Breakthroughs on Casrarene
After many fruitless expeditions in search of the Baum plant, finally Scout Oksana found a patch with some ideal individuals which were analyzed by our research officer Dan Homan, under the guidance of our veteran scientist, Eliza. We discovered that Baum has two scientifically significant parts that could be of use to our efforts. Dan discovered almost everything about the first fragment including its taste, protein, extraction difficulty, and my favorite: "Cookiness". Virtually everything there was to know was discovered except for its first chemical details. Oddly enough, only the chemical details were discovered about the second biofragment.
Meanwhile, on the nearby planet of Coune, some things are still left to do before the migration. The mineral Faormite has yet to be investigated, however, it is the last mineral left on the list. Also, the creature known as Pema, which has already attacked a team, still needs to be investigated as well. The frigate that brought the crew may have arrived a little late to the party but there's a party of a whole other kind happening on Coune.
It seems all that's missing is an aquatic danger of some sort like tsunamis or something. That just goes to show you how varied planets can be. Luckily, all of these violent conditions are in "few sectors only". Oh and there's also scavenger bugs! I do not want those getting into my buildings. The only protections are biohazard containment...
The crew have much to do. Several prefabs still in the cargohold need to be deployed (I'm excited to test the Beter Self Initiative implants and the Calix Entertainment) as well as our Very Important Passenger, the Drachian Commissar. And... did I hear a stowaway? Hopefully there is no more danger to be found on the confused, angry planet of Coune. We won't know until our planetary intel missions come back negative.
Next time, if there is a next time, we're brining a few more vital installations from our buddies at Tom Settler.
New Acquisitions
Now that I have one of each alpha contract, I don't need to buy the cards from those droptables off the player market. Not even elites because, theoretically, I should have a chance at pulling those organically. I'm still waiting on those Fireworks... So now I'm just focused on acquiring more of the starter ships and a few booster cards.
Space Grocery List
- Octohomes x4 (at least)
- Drachian Mantises x9
- What else? Oh, yeah MORE ELITE EPICS!
Use the rest of your time wisely, pilots! By the time the next lab report is released, we'll have played the next update, hopefully not broken it, and possibly squished a lot of pesky bugs! To the unending and onward!
What is eXode?
eXode is a real-time strategy space colonization game here on the Hive Blockchain. If you still have not purchased your starter pack, use this referral code (de7ed45) and you'll also receive 2 free Alpha Booster Packs with 5 NFT cards each along with a free Epic Alpha Character!
In the future, these lab reports will contain much more substance (and numbers!) including season objective rewards, legacy rewards (when your game...ends), and of course 🍉 [MELN] activities.
🍉 [MELN] is the alliance I co-founded, the Market Expansion Leaders Navy. Our leader, @birdbeaksd, is also the host of eXode's only weekly giveaway. Check that out for a chance to win some Defensive Ammo.

What is The 1UP Cartel?
The 1UP-Cartel is a mix between a gaming guild like YGG (that invests into gaming assets and creates scholarships for gamers, sharing the gaming revenue), a dividend token (similar to BRO, LBI, INDEX and UTOPIS, paying out regular dividends to token holders from part of the revenue stream) as well as one of the most extensive curation service initiative on the Hive-Engine ecosystem thus far.
