Plan your next EarthX 2 session
Our independent guide helps you extract the most from EarthX 2’s varied systems without relying on undocumented shortcuts. By observing how each mechanic interacts, you can make informed choices that suit both casual and ambitious playstyles.
01 / THE GUIDE
Vehicle‑Payload Matching
Record the mass of several payloads and note which rockets successfully launch them. Compare the results to see how vehicle selection impacts fuel use and launch cost.
- Compare vehicle specs against payload mass to avoid over‑designing early rockets.
- Use the in-game webcasts to spot inefficiencies in stage separation timing.
02 / THE GUIDE
Recovery Method Comparison
Run identical missions using different recovery options—helicopter catch versus propulsive landing. Log turnaround time and vehicle condition to evaluate efficiency.
- Monitor a vehicle’s condition after each flight to decide when refurbishment is needed.
- Experiment with different recovery methods to see which yields the fastest turnaround.
03 / THE GUIDE
Network Bandwidth Balancing
Adjust LinkLink’s bandwidth and subscription price in small increments. Track income changes to find a sustainable balance that avoids over‑loading the constellation.
- Balance bandwidth upgrades with subscription pricing to avoid over‑saturating the network.
- Use production targets to keep satellite manufacturing in line with demand spikes.
04 / THE GUIDE
Local Production vs. Import
For a colony, produce a batch of building materials locally, then import the same amount. Compare resource consumption and storage requirements to decide the optimal strategy.
- Schedule cargo deliveries ahead of known consumption peaks to avoid shortages.
- Compare the output of local mining versus imported materials to optimize costs.
05 / THE GUIDE
Milestone‑Driven Expansion
Follow career milestones one at a time, noting which new vehicles or buildings become available. Contrast this paced growth with sandbox’s unrestricted access to see which feels more manageable.
- Start in sandbox to familiarize yourself with vehicle options before tackling career milestones.
- Use career milestones as a checklist for progressive expansion when you prefer guided play.
