ALPHABOUNCE MINING GUIDE (version 1.0.0) - February 27, 2014

What's this? It's a guide that helps Motion Twin's Alphabounce players collect a lot of minerals in the least amount of shc.
The guide follows a route with enough minerals to average at least 212 shc per sector allowing players to purchase
almost 2 shc for every 1 spent, or purchase other items that could take ages otherwise.

A few notes before we begin...

This mining guide is made for use by ESCorp players that's why it doesn't include your return.
At the end of your route you're supposed to use your retrofuser to return to origin and the reason is that where it ends,
the explored sectors are very sparse not leaving you a lot of options. Remember you need to look out for your mineral average
per sector. That's why if you are a FURI player, you need to plan out your return before you venture too far. A safe and easy
return for FURI is indicated in the guide after the first 100-110 sectors, since you can jump into the same wormhole you came from,
but you may not be able to trigger mineral respawn by the time you've reached the Pofiak merchant and come back for another round,
since that happens after 200 played sectors. If, however, you wish to continue on the route for more mining, make sure to plan out
your return before the sparse zones.

The route is optimized for Generator #7 and assumes the entire area is already explored so radar doesn't count, but if this is
the first time you're getting there you'll be limited by your radar and you may not be able to go directly from one listed sector
to the next. If that happens try to find sectors as rich in minerals as possible to connect the two sectors. A few times the guide
will in fact ask you to play a series of sectors of your choice in sparse mining zones. However when you're done and want to
come back for another round, radar will no longer limit your jumps and that will improve your mineral average.

Generator #6 will work too with a slight average drop but keep in mind, the weaker your generator the more shc you'll be required
to spend and that can severely hurt your average.

When you're done mining and want to purchase shc, you need to find a cheap merchant. I recommend the merchant at [-18][82] because
he's one of the nearest to origin and almost the cheapest, sells for 109 minerals per shc, best bang for your buck by far. The cheapest
sells for 108 but being quite far from the origin he's not good value (for 11,000 minerals you'll get +1 shc).

We'll start mining at [335][-166] and head south-east all the way to the missile at [380][-79] then come back. At that point FURI
have a chance to get back into the wormhole and return, or continue and find another way back later (there are other options).
Then we'll go north and then north-east all the way to planet Folket.


So let's begin!

The guide assumes you're inside the Karbonis Belt, so first thing you need to do is reach the wormhole at [121][-50],
then follow the guide sector by sector as listed below...

Don't worry about the other minerals here, we will come back around this area later.
So far you have mined 1369 minerals (1389 with drone converter) and spent 8 shc. Your average: 171 (174 with drone converter)
Don't worry we've just started, your average will go through the roof soon.

Reached the missile. Here we're making a "U" turn and gonna go back towards the wormhole and collect more minerals in the process.
So far you have mined 10398 minerals (10491 with drone converter) and spent 48 shc. Your average: 217 (219 with drone converter)
If you're looking to purchase shc, that's about the average we want to maintain for 2 shc per 1 spent,
remember the merchant that sells for 109.

And here we're back again...
So far you have mined 23341 minerals (23554 with drone converter) and spent 107 shc. Your average: 218 (220 with drone converter)

FURI players, this is your first chance to go back through the wormhole.
If you don't want to go back just yet, make sure to plan out your return at some point.

At this point you have 2 options, either go north and north-west to find other dense mining zones
not too far from here with a lot of minerals much like this one, or stay and head south-east. Current version
of this guide only includes a single route so if you wish to go north you are on your own. More routes will be
added in future versions including the one in the north.

=!= END OF ROUTE =!=


Congrats! You have mined 88240 minerals (89129 with drone converter) and spent 416 shc give or take 20. Your average: 212 (214 with drone converter)

Retrofuse yourself, go to the merchant at [-18][82] that's not far from the origin and enjoy your new shc!
You will be able to purchase 809 shc (817 with drone converter) and that is almost 2 shc for every 1 you've spent.

Want unlimited shc? Minerals respawn after 200 played sectors and you're way passed that. Go back to the wormhole at [121][-50] and start over!
Looking to purchase other items? No matter what they cost, you got the money!


Current version of this guide only includes a single route. More routes will be added in the future!

Hope you enjoy!
