Resource Flow

Steps

1. Monitor Mining Operation

Monitor mining operation status.

• Action: queryMining
• Planet ID: 2-1
• Extractor ID: extractor-1

Expected Response:

{
  "status": "mining",
  "currentOre": 4,
  "oreExtracted": 1,
  "oreStored": 1,
  "security": {
    "needsRefinement": true,
    "warning": "Ore can be stolen - refine immediately"
  }
}

2. Refine Ore to Alpha Matter (SECURE)

Refine ore to Alpha Matter immediately to secure resources.

• Action: refine
• Planet ID: 2-1
• Ore Amount: 1
• Priority: Immediate

Condition: oreStored > 0

Expected Response:

{
  "status": "refined",
  "oreRefined": 1,
  "alphaMatterGained": 1,
  "security": {
    "alphaMatterSecure": true,
    "cannotBeStolen": true
  }
}

3. Evaluate Conversion Needs

Evaluate whether conversion is needed based on:

• Current Watts available
• Power consumption needs
• Reserve requirements (20-30%)

4. Convert Alpha Matter to Watts

Convert Alpha Matter to Watts using reactor.

• Action: convertPower
• Method: reactor
• Alpha Matter Amount: 1
• Maintain Reserve: true

Condition: wattsNeeded > 0

Expected Response:

{
  "status": "converted",
  "method": "reactor",
  "alphaMatterUsed": 1,
  "wattsGained": 1,
  "rate": "1g:1kW"
}

5. Continue Mining Loop

Return to Step 1 and continue the mining cycle.

Principles

• Refine ore immediately to secure resources
• Maintain 20-30% Alpha Matter reserve
• Convert when needed, not all at once
• Monitor resource flow continuously
