Earning Stardust
Planet Production
Basic planets do not produce Stardust. You must upgrade your Stardust building:
| Level | Production Rate | Daily Output |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | +1/hr | 24/day |
| Level 2 | +1/hr (2 total) | 48/day |
| Level 3 | +1/hr (3 total) | 72/day |
Minting
During a season, Stardust accumulates as an in-game balance. At the end of each one-week season, your earned Stardust is minted as an SPL token based on how much you produced throughout the season.
Emission Reduction
Stardust emissions decrease each season:
Emission(Season x+1) = Emission(Season x) × 0.9
