Summary
This video serves as a summary and discussion rather than a step-by-step walkthrough of the Star Atlas gameplay. The presenter begins by recapping the player’s current token holdings after the previous steps, which include around 10,000 ATLAS tokens, a fraction of a Solana token, some USDC, and a few POLIS tokens.
The presenter then explains the purpose and uses of the different tokens – the Star Atlas tokens can be used to purchase items in the marketplace, Solana is required for blockchain transaction fees, and USDC was the initial funding source. Based on this, the presenter suggests a potential ongoing investment of $20 per month to expand the player’s in-game assets and activities.
The presenter could utilize this $20 monthly investment to emphasize that this game primarily focuses on entertainment value rather than a “play-to-earn” strategy. However, the assets and resources acquired can potentially be traded or sold.
The importance of patience is highlighted, as passive income streams like the faction claim and fleet can compound over time with continued monthly investments. The overall message is that players can approach their involvement in Star Atlas with monthly budgeted investments and strategic planning to expand their in-game capabilities and activities.

Video Transcript – Play Star Atlas with $20 per month
[00:00:00] So for this next video, there’s actually not much to show. It’s more of just me talking about things, but I just wanted to summarize the steps that we’ve done already. So we took our initial 100. And again, if we go into our Phantom wallet, we’ll see where we’re kind of at, at this point, as far as tokens.
[00:00:19] So we do have some star Atlas tokens, about 10, 000 of those. We do have a fraction of a Solana token and we do have some USDC and our polis. So again, the start in the context of what I’ve explained in this video series, the star Alice token is both used to purchase things on the start of a smart place.
[00:00:38] You can earn it by putting your ships and enlisting in the faction fleet. Solana is used pretty much for every transaction that you have to do pretty much any time the interact with the blockchain. In this case, USDC was our original kind of funding for how much money we wanted to put in the game.
[00:00:57] You can use the swap command to move between those different currents or tokens. So we started with 100. Again, we have left over an allocate, or I guess not into Physical or assets. I guess nothing’s physical. They’re all virtual, but 30. And for that, we basically can go to our inventory and at the present time, we’ll see that we have not as much fuel and ammo that we started purchasing because they’ve been doing some things, but we have some of that.
[00:01:26] We have ships. Now we only see our one here because the other one is staked in the faction fleet, so it doesn’t show up. And the same thing, if we go to the structures, we don’t see our claim stake because it’s in the faction claim. So. What does all this mean going forward? Well, now you can start doing other things within the game, which I’ll go to in future videos, but I wanted to bring up the concept that you started with 100, still have, in a sense, 100.
[00:01:51] Not into something 30, but you’ll probably want or desire to put more into the game to do more. So I’m suggesting just throwing out a number, 20 a month that you can do more things with. And so what I wanted to basically mention in this video is, well, what could 20 a month that you could put into the game?
[00:02:12] Well if you keep doing things in different parts of the game, you might actually use up some of your Solana token. for those transaction fees. Again, each time you have to do something in the game, it has to be recorded on the blockchain. So you may actually purchase more Solana. So again, imagine Let’s just say in the next month we put 20 more dollars and we now have 50.
[00:02:33] Well, you know, you might buy 10 more with a salon or something like that until this number gets too low for you to do that. So that’s one thing you might do. Second thing, you might decide to purchase more ships. You can use that 20 you’re putting in each month. And as we saw, the Pierce X 4 was around 9 at the time of this recording.
[00:02:51] Could be up. It could be higher or lower depending on when you’re watching this video. You could purchase a different type of ship. It might look cooler to you or do something different. So that’s a potential. The other thing you can do with that extra 20 a month is you can buy more resources. Again, I just went over the four resources that are used for the faction.
[00:03:10] Fleet to keep it supplied and that you receive from your faction claim, but there’s a whole another set of resources they’re called raw materials that you may choose to purchase because it provides something else in another aspect of the starless game. Maybe the sage lab star based web browser game, for example.
[00:03:29] So again, the 20 a month basically gives you the ability to keep doing things without having to use the game to. Provides you more resources. And as I mentioned at the beginning This is more about entertainment. Again, that’s just one style of gameplay that you can do in that. Other people are trying to maximize their putting something into what they get out as a blockchain game.
[00:03:52] These are assets you own. These are resources you can sell for currencies that you could use in other places. So there is a chance to basically play to earn but again, this video series is more talking about the entertainment value and not really focusing on if and when you could make money.
[00:04:09] The last thing is patience mentioned. So for example, if you put that 20 in and you buy another claim stake, that will double the amount of resources you automatically passively get back, which could do more things that way. So again, yeah. There from this point forward, there are lots of ways you can go from here, but I wanted to bring up the point that basically by getting into a thinking process, you’re basically paying or playing on a monthly way with putting in money and being patient for time to occur for those different automatic more passive things of the faction fleet and affection claims.
[00:04:44] You can extend it. If again on the other hand you want to go faster, definitely you can put more money into the game and that will give you hopefully more entertainment value for the different actions and things you want to do in the game. So I hope that kind of helps where I’m kind of coming with the different parts of the payments and again my suggestion is think of it as like maybe putting 20 a month into the game in order to do more.
