Greetings, eXode pilots and civilians! Welcome to the tenth weekly eXode #oneup report! There has been a growing need and cry from the community for an ovierview for navigating some of eXode's currently playable features. I have heard your distress call! Sending you a helpful transmission now. It will include the basics of the Colonization Pass and Game Inspector. This signal may get corrupted and no longer be valid in the future. Things in this universe are always subject to change.
If you are not a captain yet, it is highly recommended you use the link at the end of this post (details below). You must have purchased at least a starter to look at the Starbase market and otherwise interact with eXode game.
To play in the latest testrooms, you should go to the Colonization Pass. Click on GAME in upper right then click Access your Colonization Pass.
From here you will see lots of options. Many of these will become active/update sooner or later on the roadmap. Our target it will be My Games.
Normally, you would be able to launch a new EVAC from here. However, I do not have that option since I am already registered for the Colonization Challenge. Don't worry if you feel like you got better cards and want to run a new Evacuation. You will be able to try your shiny new deck in what I call Away Teams+.
Let's have a look at the ongoing Away Teams Challenge.
Every 23 hours, you are allowed 1 action, viewable in the Actions tab on the bottom. The main objective of this challenge is to send out investigative missions to explore and discover your planet's resources. Before missions were live, pilots spent their actions on Intel to uncover some information on non-relevant (in terms of research) animals and/or other dangerous events on your planet. Planet and Colony Preparations will affect how many actions you can queue later during colonization so that you may spend time away from the computer and then come back to check any events. Claiming Rest will increase one of your character's Happiness. Have you offloaded all your cargo? These will be immediately available in the Colonization Challenge.
Have you helped all passengers settle in from their cabins? (Did the cabins survive?)
Training can increase the stat in a desired role. (You can see all characters' relevant stats in the Roles tab. Click on Characters if you want to see all stats of an individual along with their status and equipment.) Training your best candidate for the role of Scout, for example, will come in handy since every mission requires a scout. Or suppose you also want to train a second scout for various reasons. A second scout could reduce your chances of being ambushed by wild animals, or perhaps you want a Guide to reduce the Travel Time. Check out this this post for more details on what some of the other different support roles do during missions.
Before sending out your first mission you should claim Food a few times. You will need 1 food for every member of the mission, so that it costs 3 food for each mission. It will also cost 1 Away Team Ticket to view the mission results in the Debriefing Room. Have one ready or claim one during the two days or so that the mission takes in real time.
When characters are severely wounded, they can no longer go on missions. Do not worry, every time the developer activates a delivery (ie gives you your claimed intel that was pending), wounded characters gain 1d6 health.
There you have it! A short guide to the Away Teams interface. There may only be a short time left for this challenge, so make sure you investigate every little detail about your planet.
Tip: If you investigate the same resource more than once, you will discover more information about it! Furthermore, plants and animals have discoverable biofragmemnts apart from their normal attributes!
So get cracking!

What is The 1UP Cartel?
The 1UP-Cartel is a mix between a gaming guild like YGG (that invests into gaming assets and creates scholarships for gamers, sharing the gaming revenue), a dividend token (similar to BRO, LBI, INDEX and UTOPIS, paying out regular dividends to token holders from part of the revenue stream) as well as one of the most extensive curation service initiative on the Hive-Engine ecosystem thus far.
