    ISRU product proportions

    Per 1,000 kg of regolith. Map proportions normalized to 100%; ideal full recovery.

    Prototype costs. Shipping prices include unit cost and lunar freight. Deliveries take 24 simulated hours.

    Supply the material bundle for rovers, power systems, landers and habitats. Compare the fixed reward with market value.

    Accepting locks the payout and commits stock. Deliver the complete bundle before the deadline to collect.

      Program rules

      Direct the base, choose the buyer

      • Start with $250,000 in funds, a small ISRU unit, a regolith harvesting rover, storage, power and a two-person habitat crew.
      • Ship assets by paying their unit and freight costs. Local construction consumes uncommitted lunar materials and assembly funds. Rovers and spare parts need an imported 3D printer.
      • ISRU output follows the supplied map proportions, normalized to 100%. All six products are produced together; processing is limited by equipment, regolith supply, power and storage.
      • Crew need habitat berths and supplies. Local builds pause without supplied crew. Solar output is held constant for this scenario; batteries support temporary power deficits.
      • Exchange sales remove free stock and affect prices. Contracts reserve a material bundle and pay when the complete bundle is delivered.
      • Offers last 48 simulated hours. Accepted contracts have 96 hours to deliver.

      Prices, costs, processing rates and delivery times are provisional game values. Seed funding, trading revenue and asset spending are tracked separately.

      The earlier Moon Base Economics model is retained for later planning.
