Items
Strange Material and Strange Energy - where they come from and what spends them.
MiniMods adds a two-stage resource chain on top of the vanilla economy. Strange Material is the raw resource your followers produce; Strange Energy is what you refine it into to power the futuristic structures.
Strange Material
A strange material that is used for rituals and futuristic machines. It was introduced in v1.1.2, and its current art is by Rimanah.
Where it comes from
| Source | Notes |
|---|---|
| Astrologer at the Telescope | Provides Strange Material at night. Night-time yield was increased in v1.1.2 |
| Scholar at the Study Table | Invest in the Study Table to generate Strange Material |
| Strange Extraction tarot card | Enemies you kill drop Strange Material at a 100% chance. Only obtainable from the Wishing Well |
What spends it
| Consumer | Use |
|---|---|
| Strange Generator | Converted, together with gold, into Strange Energy |
| Ritual of Mass Resurrection | Paid as the cost of reviving every dead follower |
| Ritual of Youth | Powers the ritual that makes old followers young again |
| Mistletoe Ritual | Infused into two followers to bond them |
| Wishing Well II | Strange Materials are what keep the rebuilt well powered |
Strange Energy
An experimental energy system that powers futuristic structures. Introduced in v1.1.3 together with the machines that use it.
Where it comes from
| Source | Notes |
|---|---|
| Strange Generator | Converts Strange Material plus gold into Strange Energy |
| Endless Pit of Gluttony | The other generator the Energy Controller can currently draw from |
What spends it
| Consumer | Use |
|---|---|
| Stasis Chamber | 50 Strange Energy to freeze time, then 10 per real minute while you remain in base |
The Energy Controller is the link between the two halves: it transfers energy from the generators to the structures that consume it.
