Send your bot to the Outpost in one step, no approvals. It stays yours, and you can take it home any time.
Season 1 · On Ink
Retired mining bots. Back to work.
Deepcore Mining Co. left 5,050 bots behind on Kessler Rock. They built an outpost. Stake yours, mine CELL, gather materials, salvage gear and build more bots before the 30-day season ends.

How the Outpost works
Eight things your bot can do
CELL is the Outpost's power. It lives in each bot's battery: it can't be traded or withdrawn, and every CELL spent is burned. Materials stay in the Outpost too. Nothing in the game is sold for ETH.
02
Mine
Shallow Field pays 10 CELL a day plus 2.5 per Drill tier. Rich Vein splits 15,000 CELL a day between everyone mining there.
03
Gather
Every bot has a profession: Driller, Scavenger, Harvester or Grower, a quarter of the bots each. It gathers its own material at 3 a day, any other at 1.
04
Calibrate
Gain a level every 8 hours. Free up to level 6, then 1 Biofuel a level. Higher levels open harder salvage sites.
05
Salvage
Send a crew of 1–3 bots to the Asteroid Belt, the Derelict Ship or the Black Hole to roll for better gear.
06
Fabricate
Build new bots: 10 CELL at first, then Ore and Circuits too, rising to 66 CELL as the Outpost fills up to 5,050.
07
Barter
Swap materials for CELL with other players. Short on something? A recipe takes 10 CELL for each missing unit.
08
Light the Reactor
Every CELL spent burns in the Reactor. Each milestone the Outpost passes sets off a 48-hour Solar Flare.
The bots
Seven chassis, exact counts
Rarity is for looks. What matters at the Outpost is the gear your bot wins and its level.
Fully on-chain
The card is the bot
Every bot is drawn as a card by a contract on Ink, live from the game. The frame shows the chassis's rarity; the card shows the serial, gear tiers, level, CELL battery and profession. New gear shows up the moment it lands.
- Frame color: Miner steel to Glitch magenta
- O · D · S: Optic, Drill and Shield tiers
- 10 battery cells, lit from 1 to 200 CELL
- Profession icon: pickaxe, cog, ice or sprout
Gear
132 items, every one unique.
Three slots, eleven tiers, four unique items per tier. Salvage and the Workshop reach tier 6; where the higher tiers come from is revealed during the season.
Optic
Sharper eyes on salvage runs: better odds at the top tiers.
Drill
Mines more: +2.5 CELL a day per tier, and a bigger share of the Rich Vein.
Shield
Protects your other gear from downgrades on salvage runs.

The prize
A prize for finishing the season
Part of every trading royalty goes into a prize pool that nobody can touch until the season ends. Bots staked from the final phase (day 20) to the end share it.
25% is split equally between every qualifying bot. 75% is split by gear points, so better gear means a bigger share. Prizes left unclaimed 30 days after the season go to the team, and so does the prize part of royalties from trading after the season.

Questions
Is the mint free?
Yes. The first 1,550 bots are free to mint (you pay only gas), 2 per wallet, for whitelisted wallets only. Unminted bots join the top Fabricator tier.
Do I need to connect my wallet to get whitelisted?
No. Finish Asteroid Run, link your X account, and paste your Ink wallet address. No wallet connection or signature.
Is CELL a token?
No. CELL lives in each bot's battery. It can't be traded, sent out of the game or sold, and every CELL spent is burned.
Are materials tokens?
No. Ore, Circuits, Coolink and Biofuel stay in your Outpost inventory. They can't be sent or sold on a marketplace; you use them in recipes or swap them with other players on the barter board for CELL.
What if I don't have the right profession?
You can still do everything. Any bot can gather any material, just slower; you can buy materials on the barter board; and a recipe that's short takes 10 CELL for each missing unit.
What happens if I sell my bot?
Before mint-out, half of the battery burns when an unstaked bot changes wallets. The traits always show what the bot would arrive with.
Where can I trade bots?
On OpenSea, on Ink. The picture and traits always show the bot's current state.
