Resources

Resources are the players currency in Unnamed Space Idle. They get dropped by defeating enemies or otherwise through combat, and can be either actively spent on upgrades, or passively used by different systems.

Basic Resources

Salvage

Salvage is the players main resources in the game. It is used to upgrade cores, boost compute speed, or increase the Crew XP Multiplier. Every time an enemy is defeated, players will gain Salvage. Higher sectors will have a higher base Salvage amount, which can be seen when hovering over the sector progress bar.

Ways to increase Salvage gain:

System	Type	Note
Synth	Salvage Recovery Efficiency
	Void Beacon, Void Lure	No direct increase, increases Salvage gain by instantly starting the next wave faster
V-Device	Salvage Shard, Battle Shard, Compute Shard, Manifest Shard	Using Battle Shard and Manifest Shard for Salvage gain require a link each
Warp Drive	Materials Improvement
	Salvage Improvement MK1-7	Upgrade is Multiplicative
Reactor	Boost Salvage
Crew	Proficient Salvaging, Coordinated Resource Recovery, Compute Recovery Algorithms	Logistics Manager skill
	Resource Procurement	Reconsititution Specialist skill
Core	Resource Refinery

Scrap

Scarp is another way of gaining Salvage. When playing, there will be scrap drops coming from the top of the battlefield. They grant a large amount of Salvage when clicking them or automatically collecting them using the Salvage Auto Collector synth module.

Way to increase Scrap gain:

Note: All salvage gain increases apply to scrap as well
System	Type	Note
Synth	Salvage Auto Collector		Auto collect Scrap (works offline)
Warp Drive	Salvage Scrap Gain MK1		Upgrade is Additive
	Salvage Scrap Spawn MK1		Reduce scrap spawn delay

Void Matter

Void Matter is another basic resource and is used to upgrade compute power, charge the reactor or increase the crew skill multiplier.

Unlike Salvage, the only way to gain Void Matter is by defeating incoming enemies, which has a non-100% chance to drop it. Both the drop chance and drop amount can be increased by completing research, active Energy Voids, and certain crew skills.

The Void Matter drop chance for a specific enemy can be viewed on the Sector Data screen.

Note: Enemies spawned via Carrier or a Capital Ship's Hanger do not drop Void Matter!

Advanced Resources

Major Spoilers for Sectors 75+ (click here to dismiss)

These resources become availiable upon reaching sector 75+ and swapping to a capital ship. They get farmed by fighters upon breaking a ship part of the enemy capital ship, which grants a base amount of that respective resource, multiplied by the fighters efficiency as well as other boosts to advanced resource income or that resource in particular.

Advanced resources are used to upgrade capital cores and to craft capital synth materials.

Pulverium

Pulverium drops when breaking the enemys turret power. It is used to upgrade capital weapons as well as hangar bays.

Fortifium

Fortifium drops when breaking the enemys defensive plating. It is used to upgrade capital shields as well as hangar bays.

Major Spoilers for R1, Sectors 82+ (click here to dismiss)

Adaptium

Adaptium drops when breaking the enemys hangar bay. It is used to upgrade capital utilities.
