A player gathering resources
Resources in Dual Universe are naturally occurring voxels obtained from a planet, moon, or asteroid. In Dual Universe, "resources" generally refers to materials mined from a planetary body which are most valuable as an ore. Typically, resources are raw minerals which must be refined before they can be used. Rarity, value, and presence varies; many worlds will have only a selection of resources available. They are used in the manufacturing of materials and elements.
The following table represents a rough description of how resources are currently planned to work:
| Difficulty Level | Repartition | Average Size of Chunks |
|---|---|---|
| Visible | They are visible from the ground without mining and relatively abundant in certain areas | small |
| Abundant | They are not deep underground (less then 2 or 3 meters) and relatively abundant almost everywhere | small to large |
| Normal | They can be between 5 and 150 meters deep and are relatively abundant, but still not everywhere (know your biomes) | medium to large |
| Uncommon | They are deep ( >150 meters) and not very abundant | medium to large |
| Rare | They are very deep ( >500 meters), rare and hard to find | small |
