Plan your next EarthX session
Our independent guide breaks down EarthX’s core systems so you can make informed decisions about scaling your space company. By observing how each mechanic interacts, you’ll discover efficient pathways without relying on hidden shortcuts or undocumented features.
01 / THE GUIDE
Assess Contract Profitability
List revenue and cost for each contract. Compare net profit of a small launch versus a larger, reusable launch to identify which offers the best return over multiple missions.
- Compare the cost of building a new rocket versus reusing an existing one to see which yields better profit over several launches.
- Track which technologies bring the greatest future rewards; prioritize those for long‑term growth.
02 / THE GUIDE
Technology vs. Size Trade‑off
Create two scenarios: one investing in new technology, another simply increasing rocket size. Track time and resources each approach consumes to see which aligns with your play style.
- Test a larger rocket on a low‑risk contract first to gauge performance before committing to major launches.
- Balance the frequency of fairing recovery attempts with launch schedules to maintain steady income.
03 / THE GUIDE
ISS Resupply Scheduling
Map a weekly launch calendar focusing on ISS resupply missions. Note how regular deliveries affect cash flow compared to occasional high‑payload launches.
- Schedule ISS resupply launches regularly to keep the station supplied.
- Consider using reusable rockets for ISS missions to reduce recurring costs.
04 / THE GUIDE
Satellite Network Growth
Plot the number of LinkLink satellites launched against daily earnings. Look for diminishing returns as the network expands, helping you decide when to shift focus.
- Batch satellite launches to reduce per‑launch overhead and boost daily revenue.
- Monitor the number of active satellites to track the growth of your network.
05 / THE GUIDE
Interplanetary Mission Planning
Outline resource requirements for a basic planetary base versus a terraforming project. Compare long‑term benefits of each to prioritize your next interplanetary investment.
- Plan interplanetary missions after establishing a reliable launch cadence on Earth to ensure sufficient resources.
- Compare the benefits of colony establishment versus planetary terraforming projects before allocating resources.
