here is a check list for ledger - Ensure your Ledger Firmware and Solana App are both up to date.

  • Ensure "Blind Signing" is enabled within the Solana App settings.

  • Disconnect and shut down your Ledger

  • Close the web browser completely (you can also restart your pc if you wish)

  • Launch the web browser

  • Navigate to play.staratlas.com

  • Hard refresh the page and connect wallet

Let us know how this goes.

#

also make sure to have enough sol or atlas (prime enabled) in the wallet to create an account

#

for automation here is a nice tutorial

@cold ledge I’ve figure out what’s happening: I start mining, and it instantly says this fleet has stopped mining, cargo is full, but that’s erroneous. It’s actually mining. If I let it go for a while and then stop mining there will be some mined materials in my cargo hold. So it’s an error. Just fyi

Another noob question: how do I get fuel to my fleet? I fueled it in the css, warped to a nearby station, using 57% of my fuel, and now I need to refuel. I can’t add fuel to the station from my wallet because it’s not a css. Do I need to use a different fleet to ferry fuel to each space station I will want to refuel from? How are guys moving fleets around without running out of fuel? Thanks!

mortal lark
#

depending on how far you are traveling (and most imoprtantly what ship you are using), a full fuel tank will have enough fuel for a round trip, even warping. Unless you are warping from one side of your faction to the other, then you might need abit of extra fuel in your cargo hold.

# pure lynx Another noob question: how do I get fuel to my fleet? I fueled it in the css, wa...

So, in and out of the game is only possible at the CSS. If you wanted fuel at another station, you would need to transport it there first. In one of the following updates, we will get local markets, and then you can trade fuel at every station. For now, you have to transport it yourself. Check for subwarp; it uses much less, so always ensure you return to your CSS or somewhere that has stored fuel.

mortal lark
#

As a general rule, don't warp with anything other than freight ships, transport ships are also ok, but not ideal for warping. Transport ships are better for subwarping.

We will look at all game loops in Starbased and compare them from the perspective of a small player:

  • Mining
  • Crafting
  • Scanning
  • Upgrading starbases
  • Accumulating XP

After that, we will setup and automate the best game loop with the LAB Assistant from SLY.

Tools & links used:

Tips are also not great for warping, as a matter of fact, a tip should do nothing other than just mining, as that is its primary function, and it's the best at doing that.

odd wedge

mortal lark
# pure lynx Ah. Ok.

fighters can be a nice combination of subwarping and mining, so if you set a starbase as a homebase, and another starbase as the mining base, fighters can be a nice option to set them to mine, and bring back the goods to the home base, using subwarp, not warp. still heavy on the fuel, but they can be efficient miners, and they are fast when subwarping, compared to other ships.

cold ledge
# pure lynx Ah. Ok.

i always suggest to do a simple loop first like mining hydrogen at the css with a fleet as big you can make it, then go from there

I’m trying to like this game, I really am. I invested a couple thousand dollars into it to get started. I’m on board. But it’s unplayable. I can’t even dock my fleets: each time to try it says transaction reverted during simulation. I’ve tried many times in two browsers. Try to scan, wallet transaction failed. Try to dock, same result. Try to subwarp to new location, same. Couldn’t be more frustrated.

# pure lynx I’m trying to like this game, I really am. I invested a couple thousand dollars ...

Double edged sword being among the first to enjoy something like this, lots of cool opportunities and lots of challenges where things don't work the way we might expect.

I find the whole thing can be quite fickle, right down to which network/device I connect. For example, if I tether to mobile I'm more likely to have failed transactions. Likewise I update Ledger and blind signing is reset and it takes me an hour to remember to revisit wallet settings.

Might need to clear the cache or CTRL+F5 it, turns out didn't like ATLAS PRIME either!

And some days it just gloriously rolls through and I have a lot of fun virtual mining on an unnamed planet 🙂

Hope it works for you soon!!!

This full loop isn't really meant for a small player alone. It's not meant for anyone really. Even I would struggle to source all of those items and I'm a top 5 Starbased player.

What this will do is make the these products highly desireable at the CSS.

Loop 1: Mining and Freighting - We will see players specalizing in one or many of these lines. The ability to optimize these routes will pay off if you are clever.

Loop 2: Crafting & Market Arbitrage. Players will be able to take raw goods and combine them into the products for arbitrate opportunities to selll on the marketplace.

Loop 3: Crafting & Logistics. A player can also combine all of the ingredients to make GTs, to either sell on the market or use in the ticket drawings.

mortal lark

If you think about it starbased is more like an RTS game, and if you really think about it, what RTS game doesn't have automation built into the game. Now of course, it's not built in, but it probably will be, eventually.

#

It would only be a problem if there was actual cheating going on, which isn't the case atm, and unlike other games, there is no real benefit in running 1k different accounts, as you need to spend real $$$ on assets to produce anything anyway.

west slate
#

that will eat a lot of the sage production

#

crew just came out and are not even getting exp yet

#

the airdrop for ship components still has not happened

#

so clearly the team has a lot more work to do for the game to be at the state where its possible for smaller players to actually feel like its a game

#

a lot of the future game loops involve stuff that is just not done yet

#

like a fleet needs to have 20-30k cargo min to be profitable, anything split below that is going to spend more on fees then it can possibly earn

#

crew if you just have it sitting at the css crafting stuff you buy off of the market is the lowest possible inital investment as you don't need a lot of crew to cover tx fees, it just takes a lot more time with low crew counts to do that

5 Hogs to break even at titanium

#

Damn, Hogs are awesome.

west slate
#

as well as any weird market stuff

#

the only outlyer would be scanning for that number

#

ie this is about poeople using what they have on hand or buying stuff that they think looks cool etc

serene willow
#

Yeah, I know. Was just curious to actually check on that, cause we all keep repeating that number (myself included).

#

Now I wanna do that for all ships

#

But... Technically

west slate
#

yeah the math has also upated as atlas went up a bit etc

serene willow
#

With the exception of very few ships (and XXS, of course), break even is probably lower than I'd assume, for mining. Of course, APR is super low in these cases (close to the break-even threshold).

west slate
#

still it seems that 20k is the universal "safe" nuumber

#

as it can just stay that way regardless of what else is going on

#

at least thats the trend

serene willow
#

Looks like 36 Hogs is the current meta for entry level

#

That's crazy

west slate
#

yeah as that can be split into a few fleets

#

or kept as 1 fleet

serene willow
#

Nah, I mean, a full 36 Hog fleet

#

To optimize fees

west slate
#

well yeah

#

a single big fleet will earn more then if its split up

serene willow
#

$1.12/day at titanium

#

(profit, fees/r4 accounted for

west slate
#

still it can be split up and still be profitable if someone wants to do something more complex

serene willow
#

That's solid

west slate
#

I would still throw 1 tip in there if you can though

serene willow
#

Nope

#

Tip are a LOT worse

#

Like, 30% worse. Not kidding

#

It's crazy how Hogs changed the scene

west slate
#

yeah but less ammo consumption

serene willow
#

Irrelevant

#

That $1.12 is accounting for r4 usage + sol fees

west slate
#

really, carting ammo out is still more time consuming

serene willow
#

You don't need to

west slate
#

I mean you need to cart it out or craft it

serene willow
#

SLY does it. Set base as css, target as the mining base. It reloads at css

west slate
#

ether way thats time

serene willow
#

Bro... No.

#

Lol

west slate
#

oh your mining and going back to the css each time

serene willow
#

This $1.12 involves no crafting at all

#

It's $1.12 profit

#

All costs accounted for

#

Buying everything at market

#

(fuel, food and ammo)

#

This is for titanium

west slate
#

yeah thats only going to work with sly

#

trying to do that manual is not going to work well at all

serene willow
#

Based only works with SLY. Period

#

There's no manual Based. It's not a game. It's an automated econ loop, that requires some manual interaction, but the bulk is automated. It's by design.

#

These short cycles answer that. There's no amount of manual playing that can withstand (profitably) 20min mining cycles, or 100sec scanning cooldowns.

mortal lark
#

SLY should just be a feature of based at this point, lol

serene willow
#

It kinda is

serene willow
#

If anyone is even considering Based without SLY, just go to another project. And I mean this very respectfully.

#

Lol

#

Short cycles are the one biggest flaw in Based, and the absolute biggest cause of $ draining through fees.
SLY just makes it bearable.

topaz pine
#
  • Pyth
serene willow
#

I'm an advocate for MUCH longer cycles. Like, 5x. That would actually make scripting less relevant.

#

As a side effect

west slate
#

longer cycles just make it take longer, note that makes it better for manual

#

but does nothing else asside from giving people who don't want to automate a slightly better playing feild

#

the actual tx drain per cycle is exactly the same

serene willow
west slate
#

the tx /day does not really factor into it

#

if the income per day is less due to less transactions

#

because thats all longer cycles would do effectivly

mortal lark
#

are you assuming that longer cycles would drive prices down ?

serene willow
#

That's 1/5 fee costs

west slate
serene willow
#

That's plain math

west slate
serene willow
#

Omg...

west slate
#

if all the other numbers stay the same the actual price of items stays the same

mortal lark
#

it would only makes sense if you are assuming that with longer cycles, prices would go down, if prices remain the same, why would you be spending the same on tx fees percentage wise with longer cycles, makes no sense ?

west slate
#

meaning your getting the same return even with longer cycles

serene willow
#

No

#

No

#

Absolutely not

#

Lol

limpid isle
#

Hi Lerinor, how's your day going?

west slate
#

umm income is earned by selling if the price per unit is the same then longer cycles just makes it take longer to get the same income, if each cycle takes 6 tansactions the return per cycle stays where it is

serene willow
#

Remember that Hog fleet example?

mortal lark
#

you would be spending less on tx fees with longer cycles, that is just objective, lol

west slate
#

that has nothing to do with the return per cycle though

#

less cycles per day means less income per day

#

nothing actually changes

serene willow
#

With 5x longer cycles, daily profit would go from $1.12 to $1.25

mortal lark
#

ok, i think i get it, you are assuming longer cycles, but same production output, i think that is where the argument is at

#

i think we are talking about longer cycles, but more production output as well

serene willow
#

Bro, longer cycles, with adjusted cargo holds

#

Meaning everything yields the same

#

Just requires oess transactions

west slate
serene willow
#

Ok, let me rephrase because I thought it was implied

west slate
#

longer cycles means everything slows down

serene willow
#

Longer cycles = everything adjuted for same output. Cargo holds and travel times, essentially.

west slate
#

they are not going to make mining cycles a lot longer but keep travel the same

mortal lark
#

yeah, the rules need to be defined, no wonder there is a misunderstanding, lol

west slate
#

thats not exactly how it works, the cost to produce stays the same

serene willow
#

I've actually run those numbers just for "fun" before.

west slate
#

meaning the actual sale value would not go up by a lot if it goes up at all

#

because it would take longer to do everything

serene willow
#

Ok, Jith. Pause for a minute. Let me explain what I'm trying to say better. 😁

shut bramble
#

@topaz pine can I steal one of Michelle’s recipes

serene willow
#

Let's assume this scenario: ship A has 10 mining power, 10k cargo, and takes 1h to travel from A to B

#

Adjust all variables so that, with less transactions, it would yield the same output at the end of the day.

west slate
#

the fact is less transactions would not yeild the same output

serene willow
#

Hang on

#

Please

#

Let me wrap it up

west slate
#

because the actual caps remain the same

serene willow
#

If you multiply cargo hold by 5, that means ship A would take 5x the time fill it up

#

(not messing with mining power, because that's the underlying emission rate)

west slate
#

yes, but they are not going to do that, they would just adjust the time that it takes to fill the existing cargo hold

#

thats the point

serene willow
#

Now, instead of docking, undocking, reloading, blah blah, 5x, it does it once. And mining the exact same amount

west slate
#

yeah that would, but thats not how the current system is set up

serene willow
#

And the same adjustment would be need for travel times

west slate
#

if they 5x the time it takes they keep the current numbers they just make it take 5x the time and nothing changes

serene willow
serene willow
west slate
#

that would take a complete econ overhaul

serene willow
#

That would actually cut fees enormously

west slate
#

they are not going to do that

serene willow
#

I know

#

I'm not proposing a solution. They never listen anyway

mortal lark
#

i dunno if econ overhaul is maybe abit exaggerated, lol

serene willow
#

I'm just saying the system conception is flawed. It's a bad heritage from Escape Velocity.

west slate
#

I mean the way we do that is adding more ships to our fleets

mortal lark
#

maybe they would have to restructure the code, the econ would remain the same

serene willow
#

And when I say 5x, it's a big exaggeration. Even a 2x would actually cut fees a lot

mortal lark
#

i would be more worried if things are so set in stone they can't change things at all, I am more under the impression that things are setup to be able to change things freely as is necessary

serene willow
#

But exactly. Econ emissions would remain exactly the same. Exactly. To the decimals (with some exceptions on less lost time to transaction delays, but that's minimal)

west slate
serene willow
#

Nope

#

There's no way to package transactions as they're set now

#

Because they don't happen simultaneously

west slate
#

it takes 6 transactions for the average loop not counting refills on fuel and ammo, if that was cut in half it would change a lot

serene willow
#

Unless you mean package through the entire ecosystem.

#

That would be cool

#

But... 5x cargo holds and 1/5 travel speed would be a LOR easier. Haha!

west slate
#

I lnow why its hard to package them because the order matters

serene willow
#

Yep

west slate
#

however if they find a way around that it would help

serene willow
#

Longer cycles

#

That's the way around that for now

#

🙃

west slate
#

and that is only done by adding more ships

#

ie why its a whales game right now

#

if they increased max fleet size it would help a bit but only for whales

serene willow
#

I mean actually changing mechanics, not adding ships.

Adding ships is not "longer cycles". It's literally cutting profits by investing more

mortal lark
#

adding ships doesn't increase cycles

west slate
#

more volume same time with same overall return would be the same effect

serene willow
#

We're talking about 2 completely different things

mortal lark
#

there is a progression game of sorts, cuz max fleet size scales with ships size as well.

#

in terms of production output

serene willow
#

I don't care about profitability in this matter. I care about closing the drain that fee costs are.

mortal lark
#

yeah, there are two arguments going on, lol

#

they are two seperate topics, to be sure

serene willow
#

Yep

west slate
#

the point is the 2 can't be seprarated

#

as the smaller players are going to care about the return per transaction because they have to

serene willow
#

Of course high fees can be countered by more assets/bigger fleets. But the hemorrhaging still remains

#

Ok, let me change the angle

#

Do you agree that fees are a big problem?

#

If you could have the same revenue, but paying 1/5 of current fees, would that be nice?

west slate
#

I mean yeah, were forced to buld fleets around the fee structure - that should not be happening

west slate
#

not tx per day

serene willow
#

That's not what I asked, lol

#

I literally presented a way that would fix that, with no changes to the econ loop

west slate
#

I mean the clear answer is yes

#

however the fact is thats a volume issue not a tx count / day issue

serene willow
#

Because let's face it. No one actually "plays" based. It's not a game.

serene willow
#

I'm talking about the fee aspect of it. The volume aspect brings in other angles to look at and improve.

#

And I agree, volume counters fees

west slate
#

what your talking about would require an econ rework that may not actualy give the results you are thinking it will

serene willow
#

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't look at both

#

Well, the "volume" approach also didn't. We're losing players consistently

west slate
#

like we can't just x2 everything and have it work as its working now

#

doing that will change the actual prices on the market

serene willow
serene willow
#

If each asset would yield absolutely the exact same thing at the end of the day

#

To the decimals

west slate
# serene willow How so?

a flat x on the current game in both time and cargo would change a lot more then is imidiatly apparent

serene willow
#

How so?

west slate
#

the current market prices are a byproduct of the actual fee cost to produce

serene willow
#

Emissions would be identical

#

Literally identical

west slate
#

by flat lowering that it changes that dynamic and would likely drive prices down

serene willow
#

Nope

#

Up

mortal lark
#

current market prices are whack already, so it wouldn't matter much, tbh

serene willow
#

Because now we'd be paying less fees, and APR rises

west slate
#

current market prices are how you mesure earnings so yes it matters

#

the question is does it

mortal lark
#

the prices people list stuff at on the market atm, doesn't make much sense at all in the grand scheme of things

serene willow
#

Please explain to me why it would fall, while everything would yiles the same?

west slate
#

your thiniking it does, it might drop prices a lot lower as it also increases the amount of fleets that can do more complex stuff

serene willow
#

Like, for real. I'm trying to understand your logic on this one

west slate
#

law of unintended consiquences

#

things don't always work the way we think they will

#

it might work, it might blow up in our faces and ruin the economy

serene willow
#

Totally, but I'm trying to understand how it would fall, if they're literally be more profitable

west slate
#

there is no way of saying it would

serene willow
#

Well, do it progressively. 10% increments

west slate
#

because your increasing the amount of players that have access

serene willow
#

(I'm just randomly tossing numbers here)

west slate
#

also flat multiplyers actually help whales a lot more too

mortal lark
serene willow
#

My point is, we have this hardset mentality that "it is what is, and not fixable". It is fixable. Very.

west slate
#

meaning the entire thing would require a ground up econ rework

#

the numbers are balanced as they are for a reason

serene willow
mortal lark
#

why are we all of a sudden worried about upscaling, sounds weird

limpid isle
west slate
mortal lark
#

flawed argument if that's the focal point

west slate
#

your talking about massiivly changing those numbers

#

even if its "to scale"

serene willow
mortal lark
#

onboarding will get easier, at least that is the objective, and elimination of fees is likely to be number one priority in that field, which has the same or even better end result than longer cycles, how do you reconcile ??

west slate
mortal lark
#

if you are worried about more users driving prices down, buckle your seatbelts, lmfao

serene willow
limpid isle
#

I'm not the brightest crayon in the box, but is it possible for Sly to pack more instructions into transactions, which would help reduce the dock/reply/undock loop?

west slate
serene willow
mortal lark
west slate
mortal lark
#

because in my humble opinion, i doubt they are taking fees into account

#

because if they were, then XXS ships would have way bigger output

serene willow
west slate
#

the fact is the econ team would need to rework the econ model if they increase the cargo capacity accross the board

mortal lark
#

to imply that ATMTA setup the economic infrastructure to account for Solana fees is flawed, IMHO

west slate
#

have any of you taken calculus

mortal lark
#

considering the fact that entry barrier is around $500 to $1k currently, doubt that is intended design

serene willow
mortal lark
serene willow
mortal lark
#

because if you think they did, then explain why XXS ships production output is not waaay higher than it currently is ??

west slate
#

this is basic math

serene willow
#

Nope

#

Baisc math is, scalability is a thing

west slate
#

lol right

serene willow
#

If it's predictably scalable, it is. Period

west slate
#

it does not work that way ever

serene willow
#

Now, I agree that every change brings unforseen elements

mortal lark
#

i still think that to suggest that SA economy is taking sol fees into account is a flawed thought, clearly it was not taken into account because if it were, there would not be such a massive entry barrier

serene willow
#

But... Fuck that. We need changes

#

We're in shambles

#

Every econ forum the team keeps repeating "econ is great"

#

Yeah... We have a GREAT retention factor. Except we don't.

#

Every new face arrives, hits a freaking wall, and goes away

west slate
#

its about perspective

serene willow
#

And guess one of the main "bricks" in the wall?

#

Fees

west slate
#

the metrics they are looking at it is, the metrics your looking at its not

serene willow
#

It's ridiculous that ships run negative. And not just single XXS

serene willow
mortal lark
#

the fact is that sol fees are a problem, ATMTA has acknowledged that, so it seems silly to think that everything's hunky dory when even the team knows it needs work. we'll get there

west slate
#

yeah I get it a single small ship should run positive, however fixing that is not going to be a simple thing

serene willow
#

Agreed

#

So, back to my first statement: Labs was conceived under a crazy ridiculously bad premise of short cycles

#

And it should've been adressed early on

#

Like, for fucks sake, we still have less than 2min cooldowns for scanning. That is ridiculous

west slate
#

the catch is scaling that out is not a 1:1 ratio

serene willow
#

🤷🏻‍♂️ I give up trying to demonstrate that it actually is. Lol

#

Messing with cycle times is such an elegant solution...

#

Oh well. Thanks for the chat

west slate
#

the fact is its not a simple x2 or whatever thats going to help

mortal lark
#

we know they have the levers in place, at least we should hope they do, if they know what they're doing

#

topaz pine

#

Make sure you have a balance in your SOL vault.

west slate
#

but then again for me its easier to just use sol then atlas

topaz pine
topaz pine
west slate
#

so the cost aspect becomes more moot

#

still for me its better to just use sol

#

as I am passively getting a lot more sol then I am getting atlas as most of what I am doing is building maxhogs for personal use

topaz pine
#

Well, I suppose someone could have a ledger and use a clicker bot w/ Atlas prime on. But it would just be easier to use SLY.

west slate
topaz pine
#

atlas prime is for the Sage/Starbased UI

west slate
topaz pine
#

i dont know of anyone using Atlas prime to automate.

#

it would be vastly inferior to SLY if they were.

#

Its just a completely different tool

west slate
#

yeah I know

#

still the primary issue with ledger is having to click, that prevents a lot of stuff

#

still I have a small enough fleet that needing to interact with the ledger is not as much of an issue as trying to keep an atlas balance for fees

How is Prime dealing with creating/disbanding fleets? Cause last time I tried, it drained so much Atlas

#

Like, an obscene amount

#

That's why I stopped using it, mostly.

restive wing
limber steeple
restive wing
#

So leaving fuel, food and ammo on board starting at 722 Atlas disbanded is still 722...

limber steeple
#

especially since ATLAS needs to be rebased from SOL from time to time

restive wing
#

1 Atlas to form new

limber steeple
#

but that's just me. just want to be consistent on txn fees across the platform

fresh frost
#

Prime charges a 10% over Solana fees. Rents are paid in Sol, but fees in Atlas

#

it's 100% worth it if you use ledger.

#

Because that 10% is just a few lamports

If they've gone into Sage then you should find them at the CSS and on the left-hand side select "point of entry", looking for the "crew" tab. From there you get to decide if you want to import them into the game or send them away to Tensor to trade them, etc.
