Economy

 Note : This page concerns the bitmoney aspect of the game. See the Mariant Guide for the other cash currency.

The standard currency of the Federation is "Bitmoney", which is needed to train all troops and build most structures. Bitmoney is also used to revive troops at the Federal Insurance Bureau if they were lost in a defensive battle.

Bitmoney can be earned through gaining levels, completing certain quests, collecting it from some Dark Hive missions, and selling resources at the market.

Resource Market
Resources are sold at market by sending them through Cargo Shuttles. You build one Cargo Shuttle by completing the tutorial quests at the start of the game. Additional Cargo Shuttles and Orbital Shuttles can also be built to expand access to the market by providing additional cargo space.

There are a total of 6 resources which take up varying amounts of cargo space and can net different amounts of Bitmoney per cargo unit. These resources are:
 * Selium, sold 100 units per cargo space
 * Fram, sold 50 units per cargo space
 * Herbert, sold 20 units per cargo space
 * Gravylic, sold 10 units per cargo space
 * Data blocks, sold 4 units per cargo space
 * Tixid, sold 1 unit per cargo space

Market Prices
The selling price for resources is determined by market demand, which changes every 5 minutes. Market demand is indicated by a system of red or green arrows. Lower demand is indicated with more red arrows and higher demand is indicated with more green arrows. Resources can be sold for more Bitmoney if the market demand is high when the resources are sent. The base selling price for any resource is indicated by a single green arrow.

Selium, Fram, Herbert, and Gravylic all have the same base selling price of 50 Bitmoney per cargo space. All four of these resources are sold for 10 fewer Bitmoney for every reduction in market demand (minimum of 20 Bitmoney per cargo space for three red arrow demand). Increasing market demand for each of these resources increases the selling price differently. The following table lists all possible selling prices for these 4 resources.

Data blocks do not change value in the market and are always sold for 80 Bitmoney per cargo space.

Tixid base selling price is 300 Bitmoney per cargo space. Tixid market demand only changes to one red arrow or two green arrows. At low demand, Tixid is sold for 250 Bitmoney per cargo space. At high demand, Tixid is sold for 500 Bitmoney per cargo space.
