A claim stake is an NFT structure which will be utilized in-game to claim a portion of land for the purpose of resource extraction.
Mining resources are a critical pillar of the Star Atlas economy. To mine, users need to possess ATLAS for both the necessary infrastructure, crew, and demand auction. The extracted resources will come as NFTs and with these resources, new and better NFTs can be created.
As you mine, you’ll gain “mining experience". Increased mining experience will unlock “increased quality and speed of resource gathering and discounts on labor and maintenance of farm holdings.”
