# Diving Deeper Into The MCC’s Mechanics

### Lands 

Lands are NFTs that players buy and own. Once a player buys a plot of land it belongs to them.

**You can buy your very own land NFT right** [**here**](https://app.mars4.me/nft-sale)**:**

In the Mars Control Center each land will have 6 resource slots.

* Users will have to explore the zone in order to discover what resources are hidden within it. 
* To begin exploration the user will have to own the land and a vehicle 
* Each discovered slot will add 300 productivity score to the land 
* User can freely select which of the 6 zones to explore first 
* All of the zones can be explored at once 
  * Only 1 vehicle can explore or mine 1 resource slot at a time 
  * More vehicles = More exploration & mining

### **Discovery Process**

<figure><img src="/files/EypoHc2X7bNN0Wo5dliL" alt=""><figcaption><p>*Discovery process graph</p></figcaption></figure>

* Each vehicle explores and mines resources at different pace&#x73;**.**
  * There are two roles for vehicles in the MCC, some are better at exploring lands while others are better at mining. Vehicles can perform both roles, but may not be as efficient as their counterparts.&#x20;
* All vehicles will have the same probability to discover different types of resources.&#x20;
  * The exact resource will be picked randomly from the list below.&#x20;
* Every resource slot needs to be explored successfully once.&#x20;
* When the slot is explored, the player can start the mining process in the same slot.

### Mining

* Explored zones on a land can be used to mine discovered resources using vehicles.&#x20;
* Every vehicle will have a different mining mission timer&#x20;
  * The better the vehicle’s quality, the longer it can continue mining without needing to refuel&#x20;
* Mining missions as with discovery missions will have a success chance&#x20;
  * Higher rarity vehicles will have higher chances of success&#x20;
* The example below covers a vehicle called the Caripen GT.

| Rarity          | Mining Time (hrs) | Success Chance |
| --------------- | ----------------- | -------------- |
| Classic Caripen | 3                 | 0.7            |
| Epic Caripen    | 6                 | 0.85           |
| Legendary       | 24                | 1              |

* Resources found will be displayed in kilograms.
* **Mined resources are received as NFTs.**

### **Discovery and Mining Costs**

Each job execution will have a fixed price. Different vehicles will have different fixed prices

|           | Discovering   | Mining       |
| --------- | ------------- | ------------ |
| Classic   | 12,000 $MARS4 | 6,000 $MARS4 |
| Epic      | 3,300 $MARS4  | 1,500 $MARS4 |
| Legendary | 250 $MASR4    | 150 $MASR4   |

### **Resources**

There will be 3 different rarities of resources to be discovered. Each tier of rarity will have a different chance of being discovered.

| Resource Rarity | Discovery Chance | Possible Concentration | Description                                                  |
| --------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Common          | 65%              | 20-100%                | Commonly found resource                                      |
| Rare            | 25%              | 5-30%                  | Rare resources that have a lower chance of being discovered  |
| Super Rare      | 10%              | 2-10%                  | Super Rare resources that occur only in a few places on Mars |

**Concentration**

The amount of resources discovered in a zone by a vehicle is not affected by the vehicle’s statistics. Concentration amounts are random and individual for each of the 6 slots on the land.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://whitepaper.mars4.me/mars4-control-center/diving-deeper-into-the-mccs-mechanics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
