Stardust

✨ What is Stardust?

Stardust is one of the rarest and most valuable resources in the game. Unlike standard resources like Metal, Crystal, and Deuterium, Stardust is earned through special activities and achievements. It is used for alliance systems, Faction upgrades, and expanding planet size.

💡 Important Note: Stardust is an account-based resource. All of your planets share the same Stardust pool and it is displayed on the user profile screen.

🎁 Methods to Earn Stardust

1. 🚀 Expedition Missions

You have a chance to find Stardust on expedition missions. This reward is calculated based on the Planetarium structure:

  • Base Chance: The event of finding Stardust on expeditions occurs with a 3% base probability (can be increased with event bonuses).
  • Planetarium Effect: Your total Planetarium level increases your chance.
    • If you are an alliance member: The Planetarium levels of all alliance members are summed up.
    • If you are not an alliance member: Only your own Planetarium levels count.
  • Chance Formula: 50 + (50 × Planetarium Level)
  • Premium Bonus: If the Premium Expedition feature is active, the chance is multiplied by 2.
  • Galaxy 2 Bonus: If you have a Star Mining planet in Galaxy 2, you gain a +150% bonus.
  • Maximum Chance: Total chance is limited to 66.6% (8000/12000).
✅ Calculation Example:
• Base chance: 3%
• Premium bonus (×2): 3% × 2 = 6%
• Galaxy 2 bonus (+150% base): 3% × 1.5 = 4.5%
• Final chance: 6% + 4.5% = 10.5%

In this case, you obtain 1 Stardust with approximately a 10.5% chance on every expedition mission!

The calculation logic is as follows: The base chance is always 3%. Premium only doubles this base rate to 6%. The +150% bonus provided by Galaxy 2 is applied on the base chance; thus, 150% of 3% (4.5%) is calculated as a separate additional bonus. All other variations are calculated using the same logic (based on the 3% base chance) and added to the current total chance.

2. 📦 Daily Resource Collection (Friendly Sector)

Friendly Sector missions are the most reliable way to earn guaranteed Stardust every day:

  • Daily Right/Case: You can use 6 cases/rights every day.
  • Guaranteed Reward: You gain 1-10 Stardust (random) in each case.
  • Automatic System: Cases are used in automatic sequence (Case 1 → Case 6).
  • Single Fleet Rule: Only 1 fleet can be sent at the same time.
  • Waiting Time: 1 hour wait after arriving at the target.
    • Reduced to 10-30 minutes with Premium Expedition Speed-up.
    • 500% Premium: ×6 speed-up (10 minutes).
  • Daily Reset: Rights are renewed every day at 05:00 AM .
  • Additional Rewards: In addition to Stardust:
    • 1M-5M Dark Matter
    • +1 Loyalty Point
    • +30,000 Tournament Points
    • Main planet daily production × 24 hours (Metal, Crystal, Deuterium)
✅ Daily Maximum Gain:
If you use all 6 cases:
• Stardust: Between 6-60 (average ~30)
• Dark Matter: Between 6M-30M
• Loyalty Points: +6
• Tournament Points: +180,000 (total)

This means an average of ~900 Stardust per month!
💡 Strategy Tip: The Friendly Sector is the most reliable and consistent source of Stardust! Unlike expeditions, you get a 100% guaranteed reward and there is no risk. You must use your 6 rights every day!
⚠️ Important: Wait for the first fleet to return before sending the second fleet! Otherwise, the second fleet automatically returns, and you lose your right.
• Unused rights do not accumulate - they reset daily!
• Cases are used in automatic sequence, manual selection is not possible.

    • Level 10 → 11: 11 Stardust
    • Level 50 → 51: 51 Stardust
  • Storage: Stardust is stored in the alliance bank.

Transaction Type Amount Options Authority

Withdraw 1 / 10 / 100 Only those with BANK authority
⚠️ Caution: Stardust transfer is irreversible! You must have BANK authority to retrieve the Stardust you have deposited.

3. 🌍 Planet Size Expansion

Stardust is used for expanding the diameter of normal planets:

  • Reward: You gain +299 - +391 diameter and +13 - +17 fields.
  • Requirement: Can only be used for planets.

📊 Stardust Statistics

  • Alliance Logs: All Stardust deposit/withdrawal transactions in the alliance bank are recorded.
  • Expedition Counter: Expedition success tracks how many times you have found Stardust.
  • User Profile: Your current Stardust amount is displayed on the profile screen.

🎯 Strategy Tips

✅ Planetarium Investment:
Build a Planetarium on all your alliance planets! As the alliance's total Planetarium level increases, your chance of finding Stardust increases significantly.
✅ Regular Expeditions:
Send the maximum number of expedition missions every day. You can double your chance with the Premium Expedition bonus!
✅ Galaxy 2 Planets:
Acquire a Star Mining (NO: 13) planet in Galaxy 2! This planet provides a +150% Stardust finding bonus.
✅ Friendly Missions:
High-level cases give a lot of Stardust! In Case 6, you can earn 32-64 Stardust.
✅ Alliance Cooperation:
Accumulate Stardust with your alliance members! Teamwork is crucial for upgrading the faction system.
💡 Calculation Tool:
The current formula for calculating your chance to find Stardust:
Final Chance = (BaseChance × Premium) + (BaseChance × PlanetariumCoefficient) + (BaseChance × Galaxy2)
• BaseChance = 3%
• Premium = 2 (if active), otherwise 1
• Planetarium Coefficient = Planetarium level (e.g., level 10 → 10 coefficient)
• Galaxy2 = 1.5 (if active), otherwise 0

In this system, Premium doubles the base chance. All other bonuses like Planetarium and Galaxy 2 are always calculated based on the 3% base chance and added to the final chance.

⚠️ Important Warnings

🚫 Irreversible Transactions:
  • The Stardust you deposit into the alliance bank cannot be retrieved if you do not have alliance authority!
  • Stardust spent when upgrading faction levels is only returned as 50% if the faction is reset!!
⚠️ Maximum Chance Limit:
No matter your Planetarium level, your chance of finding Stardust is limited to a maximum of 66.6%. It is not possible to exceed this limit!
⚠️ Account-Based Resource:
Stardust is shared across all your planets. Stardust you spend on one planet also decreases on your other planets!

📝 Conclusion

Stardust is one of the most valuable and rare resources in the game. It is critically important for strengthening the alliance faction system, expanding planet fields, and obtaining special bonuses. You can continuously earn Stardust and gain strategic advantages through regular expeditions, Planetarium investments, and Friendly Sector missions.

🌟 Commander, remember: Accumulating Stardust requires patience and regular gameplay. By collaborating with your alliance members and making smart expenditures, you can become one of the strongest alliances in the galaxy!
