# Upgrades and Resourses

In CosmoFox, upgrades are focused on one thing: **making your Rig a beast**.\
Your ship stays as-is, but your drill setup is where the real customization happens.

#### 🔧 Rig Upgrades

Your drill is made up of 4 key parts:

1. **Saddle** — affects drilling speed and adds effects in certain mini-games
2. **Chip** — boosts chances of rare drops and unlocks QTE-style interactions
3. **Engine** — improves energy efficiency and handles engine-related events
4. **Drill** — increases loot yield and enables "hold-to-drill" mechanics

Each part comes in multiple **rarity tiers** (Common → Rare → Elite → Epic), with randomized **stats** and **bonus effects** tied to mini-games.

#### 🚀 Ships

Ships can’t be upgraded — but you’ll be able to collect different models with unique base stats like:

* **Energy capacity**
* **Recharge rate**
* **Travel speed between planets**

Picking the right ship gives you a strategic edge, but the true depth lies in tuning your drill.

#### 🎁 How to Get Upgrades

* Found in **lootboxes**
* Bought in the **shop**
* Earned via quests or events

Drill parts don’t just boost stats — they influence gameplay. Some extend mini-game timers, others increase loot multipliers or make success zones larger.

In-game resourses
-----------------

In Cosmofox, you’ll collect two key resources:

* **Crystals** — the most valuable resource in the galaxy.
* **Dust** — a byproduct of drilling. Dust isn’t useless — it fuels upgrades, helps maintain your Pod, and might play a bigger role in future mechanics.
