Resources

Next up is the Resources tab under the Refinery Section. You get to the Resources tab by clicking on the Refinery button in the upper left of the main screen (Figure 140). There are multiple items of interest in this tab. There are USS Franklin-A blueprints, as well as Parsteel, Tritanium, and Dilithium. There are also components to upgrade your Franklin (Figure 141 and Figure 142).

First, if you have a maxed USS Franklin, you can obtain the USS Franklin-A blueprints here which are located in the Franklin 2.0 Blueprints claim box. To purchase the blueprints, you need to scrap your original USS Franklin. When scrapping your original USS Franklin, you will receive the Franklin Adv Data Cores (Figure 144). If you scrap a max level original USS Franklin you will be able to retrieve all of the blueprints needed to build the USS Franklin-A (Figure 143).

Next, you can trade Swarm Adv Biotics (Figure 145) for Parsteel, Tritanium, and Dilithium (Figure 146, Figure 147, and Figure 148). NOTE: The description for Swarm Adv Biotics appears to be incorrect. You receive Swarm Adv Biotics by completing the Swarm Hunter and Swarm Slayer goals as described in the Daily Goals List section of this article.

Next, you can trade Swarm Biominerals (Figure 149) for Parsteel, Tritanium, and Dilithium (Figure 150, Figure 151, and Figure 152). You receive Swarm Biominerals by completing the three different Swarm Watcher goals as described in the Daily Goals List section of this article.

Next is the Frequency Modulator claim box. Here you can exchange Frequency Modulators (Figure 154) for Frequency Modulator MK. IIs (Figure 155). Frequency Modulator MK. IIs are used to upgrade components of the USS Franklin-A. Frequency Modulators can be obtained by killing Swarm Clusters which you will be doing on a daily basis for your Daily Goals as described in the Daily Goals List section of this article.

NOTE: This is one of the best places to stock up on Parsteel, Tritanium and Dilithium. Lastly, once you claim any of the resources, the reset timer is 22 hours (Figure 156 and Figure 157).
