Last update: 23 November 2018
The so-called electrum is a vital part of Starlink's mechanics. This is a sort of currency used by the citizens of the Atlas System. It's mainly used to upgrade the Equinox, which gives you access to new functionalities and further upgrades. Hence, ensuring a constant supply of electrum is crucial in the game. In this chapter, you will find advice on obtaining the resource quickly.
The first and most effective, way of doing that is by establishing contact with the refineries This will be possible after visiting Haven. After completing the appropriate assignment for them, they will decide to cooperate with the Initiative. From then on, they will supply a certain amount of electrum at equal intervals. Additionally, refineries can be improved, which translates into increased revenue. The more refineries you cooperate with, the more electrum you will earn.
Another method of earning electrum is the free destruction of the environment. In practically every location there are objects whose destruction will yield electrum. This is particularly convenient as you can do it during the standard exploration of the location and you do not have to travel to a specific location, as is the case with electrum deposits.
The last source of income is a trade with friendly institutions. Each of them, no matter whether it is an observatory or a refinery, reports a demand for specific types of raw materials. As in the case of destructible objects, these are located in the vicinity of the explored locations. The difference is that the resources are marked on the minimap, which makes retrieving them easier.
