Beneath the Waves of Ertha - Exploring Your Water HEXs

Exploring Your 5 Water HEX Resources

Erthians, it’s time to dive into the depths of your Water HEXs! This update will guide you through the riches waiting to be discovered under the waves, with their unique properties and intricacies explained.

Fish: The First Category of Resources

Let’s start with the basics—fish. After researching your Fish category, you’ll discover various types of fish, each with its own rarity. Salmon is the most common, while the Epic Bluefin Tuna is a rare find that can be transformed into high-quality foods and health remedies. The table below provides a detailed look at the percentages of finding each type.

Water Animals: Unique Food Sources

Next up, Water Animals. These creatures are more than just food sources; they also drop valuable by-products. Oysters can yield pearls for jewelry, turtles provide shells for crafting armor, and seals are prized for their skins. These unique properties make water animals harder to find but highly valuable, as highlighted in the chart below. 

Water Fuels: Extracting Energy from the Depths

Water Fuels are crucial for powering Ertha. Building a Fuel Extraction Company will allow you to gather resources like Oil and Coal. While Oil is more common, it needs to be processed in an Oil Refinery before use. Coal, on the other hand, can be used directly in a Coal Power Plant to provide electricity to your HEX.

Water Minerals: Rare and Valuable Finds

Though rare, Water Minerals such as quartz, sapphires, emeralds, and diamonds can be found beneath the waves. These minerals are essential for crafting high-level buildings, vehicles, electrical components, and jewelry. Processing these minerals in a mineral processing plant will unlock their full potential.

Water Metals: The Backbone of Ertha’s Economy

Water Metals are the most versatile resources in Ertha, used in building construction, technology, research, and more. Familiarize yourself with the various metals available as per the table below, especially the rare Platinum and Gold, which hold significant market value.

Exploration Chances and Rarity

The rarity of resources depends on the distance of your Water HEX from any land or coast. The further away, the rarer the finds. Attached is a table displaying the exploration chances for each resource category. We will also discuss how pollution levels may affect this in the coming updates, so stay tuned.

Future Updates: More Resources on the Horizon

Currently, these are the resources available in Water HEXs. However, post Ertha v1.0, expect to see an expanded list, including water plants, algae, and other surprises to keep you engaged for years. Thank you for exploring the underwater riches of Ertha with us. Stay tuned for more updates and happy searching!
