Video Transcript – How to play Star Atlas
[00:00:00] Hi, this is Matt with Intergalactic Carol. Welcome to my video series on how to play Star Atlas with 100 and 20 per month. So what can you do in Star Atlas? Star Atlas has a number of pre release alpha products available right now. One is called Sage Labs. This is a browser based version of the game where you can use your Star Atlas assets to do different actions such as mining, crafting, trading, and more.
[00:00:28] and scanning. There is what’s called a showroom. It’s a version of Star Atlas in Unreal Engine 5. So this is more of your typical game engine where you can do different things to look at your ships and other things like that. There’s also a Star Atlas marketplace. This is a place where you can buy and sell ships.
[00:00:46] You can buy and sell other items that exist within the Star Atlas metaverse. You can buy and sell resources. You can buy and sell raw materials and components from there. Additionally, there is a Star Atlas DAO, a Distributed Autonomous Organization. This allows for people who hold the Star Atlas token POLIS, which is a governance token, to actually be involved in voting on different proposals that the Star Atlas community is working on.
[00:01:15] is submitting. So, there are a number of different ways to, in a sense, play Star Atlas. So, in this video series, I’ve made a few assumptions on how much you need to spend to play. And again, I put play in quotes because many aspects of Star Atlas may not be what you would condri to traditionally consider a video game play style.
[00:01:37] But, there are aspects of that. I also picked a hundred dollars, partly just to get started, but these are Purely my ideas, my opinions, and how they do. So there’s no, this is the only way to do it. You can spend less and do less. You can spend more and do more. The other reason I added 20 a month is for two reasons.
[00:01:56] One is so that you have something to come back to and you’re constantly basically paying for different things in particular the blockchain transaction fees that do occur. So That’s why I added 20 a month. So again, these are just my thoughts, but again, I wanted to go through in this video series, showing you how you can basically play a Star Atlas and to begin to play, there is basically a cost just like most video games out there to get into the game.
[00:02:26] So there are a few prerequisites to play Star Atlas. The first one is Star Atlas is a blockchain game. So it does work on the Solana blockchain. So you do need a Solana wallet to do that. There are a few different ones out there that are available. I will add some links. To help you get started on that.
[00:02:46] But again, this is just one type of Solana wallet. There are others than what I’ll be showing in some of my other beginner video series. You do need to have a hundred dollars in USDC. USDC is just United States dollar coin. So you have to take some sort of real currency or convert to that. And I just started with that one because then you can use that to change that into both Star Atlas tokens.
[00:03:13] And then from there you can use this that money to purchase different of the assets. I highly recommend you join the Star Atlas Discord. There is a link to it here. If you go to play. staratlas. com, they’ll have their most recent link to their Star Atlas Discord plus their other social media channels.
[00:03:30] Their Discord is a great place to keep up to date on announcements, other community activities, like presentations and things like that. So it’s really good to join that so you can kind of keep up on different things. So a few caveats to PlayStart OS. The first one is just to set expectations. This is an early release, pre alpha version of the game, and so there will be bugs, there will be things that don’t work, it will occasionally stop completely, there are the possibility of blockchain issues that affect the game.
[00:04:00] So again, just want to set expectations. This is very early access into the game development and nowhere near a finished product. Additionally, though, there are options that people might. Use to make money. Again, no financial advice here, but my entire video series is going to be more about the entertainment factor.
[00:04:21] So I won’t be going over things like what’s the best ship to get the best return on investment or things like that. There are other resources that are out in the Stardust community if you’re more interested in that. But my focus will be just talking about the entertainment of basically playing a video game.
[00:04:38] And the last thing I want to kind of set expectation, but the strategies and the tactics that I’ll be showing here are more about being patient with time. You can do more if you want to spend more money, like buy more ships or buy more resources to level up or something like that. But again, I’m taking the tact of this is for entertainment and the one commodity we probably all have is time.
[00:05:02] So some things will be, hey, if you do this one thing and wait a little while for it to finish up or whatever, you can get further ahead in your gameplay. But again, there are definitely ways to spend more money in the game to do things at a faster rate.
