Resource types
All resources of a similar type have the same statistics. For a full list of resources, see below.

Critters
Can't be sold on every trader like the other resources. Critters and drones can be sold to Maelnir Trading Ship and the Menkmack at New New New Whatever Menkmack. Critters can be shot or stunned. Some creatures will charge-run at lander dealing few damage points.

Drones
Drones (also known as Unknown entities) shoot laser beams when alerted to lander presence. Damage dealt by laser is usually fatal to lander, when no lander armor is equipped. You can easily destroy drones when shooting at them from behind horizon.

Common gas

Almost completely inert elements valued for various industrial processes.

Useful as a construction material and for electronic components.
