Star Atlas Economy Shows Promising Growth in Q1 2024

Star Atlas just recently published its first quarterly economics report for 2024. The report details how the Star Atlas economy experienced significant growth and transformation in the first quarter of 2024, driven by increased interest in the broader cryptocurrency market and the transition from passive to active ATLAS emissions. This shift led to new incentives for players and contributed to growth across major economic indicators.

Key Highlights:

• Council Request for Resources (RFRs): The introduction of RFRs, which accounted for 50% of ATLAS emissions, catalyzed shifts in gameplay preferences among factions, with players increasingly allocating production towards RFRs.
• Faction Fleet (SCORE) to Star Atlas Golden Era (SAGE) Transition: The transition from SCORE to SAGE is evident, with factions adapting to more involved gameplay loops.
• Decentralized Autonomous Corporations (DACs): DACs have cemented their presence in the Star Atlas ecosystem, with new visuals highlighting their comparative advantages in different resource categories.
• Economic Indicators: Aggregate census wealth increased by 53.85%, and daily Star Atlas GDP averaged approximately $88,000. SAGE crafting output increased by over 200% due to a large increase in the SAGE labor force.

Faction Dynamics:

• The MUD faction led RFR production, followed closely by USTUR.
• USTUR consistently demonstrated a high demand for resources essential in crafting RFRs.
• All three factions (MUD, USTUR, and ONI) embraced the Council RFR system, with its share of total ATLAS emissions consistently hovering around 50%.

Star Atlas Census:

• Residents and citizens saw notable advancements in wealth and participation.
• Total wealth grew across all groups, with the most significant increase in citizen wealth (217%).
• Aggregate wealth increased by 54% from the previous quarter.

Star Atlas GDP:

• The Star Atlas GDP, a new metric capturing spending through asset burn, averaged approximately $88,000 per day, projecting an annual GDP of $32,120,000.
• Per capita GDP averaged $17.63 daily.

Star Atlas Golden Era (SAGE):

• Labor force participation remained mostly unchanged despite the introduction of Council RFR ATLAS emissions.
• There was a noticeable shift in prioritization towards accelerating crafting operations.
• Approximately 40% of faction-specific ATLAS volume in the Galactic Marketplace was attributed to RFR redemptions.

Decentralized Autonomous Corporations (DACs):

• The top five DACs showed distinct warping behavior and resource production patterns.
• The Club emerged as the wealthiest and most diverse DAC.
• Rome led in mining operations and component production.
• Xborg monopolized SDU production at scale.

Conclusion:

The Star Atlas economy is evolving rapidly, with a clear shift towards active SAGE gameplay and the growing importance of DACs. The introduction of new features and incentives is driving engagement and economic activity, creating a promising outlook for the future of the Star Atlas metaverse.
