Ad Astra Development Zone History: Historical Literature

The Library module was developed as the most advanced form of a laboratory on Mars. A sprawling enterprise of graduated flasks, bunsen burners, centrifuges, mass spectrometers, and many other scientific instruments. It also holds libraries of historical literature chronicling the AADZ Mars Settlement effort decades ago. It is the current bleeding edge in scientific research on Mars and is famous for its quiet coffee shop and bookstore atmosphere and motif. Leon Dusk is often spotted in one such module.

Library Overview

The Library building holds the first implementation of the Research system. Here you unlock the ability to create Research Papers, which you can either use to research a specific branch of science or perform dusk-rewarding research.

To start, you'll need to write some Research Papers. These Research papers will allow you to perform various tasks in the Library.

Bazaar Coins act as a token of knowledge used in the research and you can purchase Bazaar Coins from the shop using shards.

Research Papers

You can either craft research papers, purchase them from the marketplace or obtain them via depositing Chapters purchased from Neftyblocks or AtomicHub

You can also read the chapter once a day in your library to gain 1 Research Paper.

The procurement of research papers involves the traditional process of physical paper sealed within a rugged container to prevent damage. The scientific process involves the analysis of building "shards", as it is colloquially known. These shards are fragments of information or an important component.

Dusk-Rewarding Research

After acquiring research papers, you can either perform Dusk-rewarding researches or preform a specific kind of research to unlock high tier recipes. Here's a look at the Dusk-rewarding researches.

Medium-Volatility means that the recipe's rare high amounts are within the 5-10% range.

High-Volatility would mean that the recipe's rare high amounts are within the 1-5% range.

Areology is the specific study of Mars, this research involves taking samples of regolith to replace the expensive martian soil simulants created on Earth and placing them under intense studies. These results are sent back to either universities on Mars itself or back to Earth to be applied in prestigious laboratories.

Branch Research

While obtaining Dusk for your research efforts is already great, the proper research system is what the Library is really all about.

After obtaining a recipe, you need to learn it by heading to the shop and purchasing the correlating recipe, this will remove the item from your inventory and allow you to craft that recipe.

You do not need the previous ranks of a recipe in order to learn the higher ranks. For example, you can learn Repair Power Cell III without knowing Repair Power Cell I

You will be able to sell your duplicate researched recipes in the near future!

Chemistry research is the study of substances, as in the elements and compounds that make up everything around us. This specific research will allow us further development into the process of power cells. Ever since the recent increase in broken power cell reports, scientists have studied ways to repair them.

Life Science Research

Novice Life Science Research is used to develop synthetic seeds along with greenhouse shards. More uses for these researches will come as well!

Apprentice Life Science research is used by Expert Seed Study, and can be acquired by combining 3 Novice Life Science Research in the shop.

Apprentice Life Science Research

The seed study develops synthetic seeds identical to natural ones in a series of complex processes involving extremely quality greenhouse components that are destroyed through the process. This one uses more basic greenhouse components but as a result, can't develop as advanced of a seed.

Requires Library Level 1 | Basic Seed Study:

Input
Output x5

1 Novice Life Science Research

3-7 Sprout Seeds

1 Common Greenhouse Shard

1-3 Lettuce Seeds

1 Uncommon Greenhouse Shard

12-18 Sorghum Seeds

3 Stamina

1-3 Sweet Potato Seeds

This recipe picks a random seed type to give, five times, with varying amounts.
