RMB Space Program ⬢ Overview

The RMB Space Program is a brand new, innovative use of RMB bots on NationStates. Here's a quick overview of all the information you need to know.
About the Bot
It is run by
Alinek for as often and as long as he can.To use the bot, simply mention the bot in your RMB post and then put your command, so "Rmbsp sp info".
If the bot doesn't reply in a few seconds, it's likely offline.
About the RMB Space Program
The RMB Space Program spurred from Kerbals of the North's RMB bot,
The Northern Kerbal.It is an easy to play, easy to enjoy RMB game open to all embassy regions!
You can collect resources, build rockets, and explore the cosmos, all on the RMB.
More information about the parts of the game can be found in this dispatch.
Resources
To build rockets in the RMB Space Program, you need resources.
You get resources by opening boxes, either through "sp daily" or "sp open [number]". Below is some information about each resource.
Wood is mostly a beginner resource, and one of the most common early on. It gets rarer as you progress, however.
Stone is another common resource, with most rockets requiring some stone.
Metal is somewhat common, and the main resource in most rockets.
Rarium is the first notably uncommon resource, with the later rockets usually requiring rarium.
Kerbalium is a very rare resource, with it only being used in the latest and greatest of rockets.
Other Statistics
Along with your agency's resources, many other things are tracked.
These things include your XP, launch statistics, funds, and even achievements.
XP determines what rockets you can build, with it being gained from successful rocket launches.
The amount of rocket launches you've done, along with how many were successful or failures, is also tracked.
Funds, earned through achievements, can be used to open more boxes and get more resources.
Achievements are unlocked as you play the game, with notable achievements being That's one small step... and Fire in the Sky.
All of this information can be found with the command "sp info".
Building and Launching Rockets
You can use your resources to build rockets, furthering your space agency by exploring the cosmos.
To build a rocket, simply post "Rmbsp sp build [rocket]", with "[rocket]" being the rocket's ID.
The launch is separated into two parts, the build and the launch itself. Each rocket has a percent chance of success, which determines the launch.
If the launch was successful, congratulations! You earned some XP, and maybe even an achievement.
If the launch was a failure, don't fret! Your agency recovered half the cost of the rocket as scrap.
Either way, launching rockets is the main appeal of this game, and one that's very easy to get into.
