What is the Museum?

The Museum is a passive income feature in Prospecting. You donate minerals to display cases, and they generate income over time based on their value and modifiers.

Slot Rarity Restrictions

Each museum slot has a maximum rarity level it can accept:

Modifier Priority

Modifiers multiply your mineral's value. Priority order:

  1. Voidtorn (2.5x) - Best modifier, Void exclusive
  2. Iridescent (2.0x) - Excellent for high-value minerals
  3. Electrified (1.8x) - Great alternative
  4. Glowing (1.5x) - Good budget option
  5. Shiny (1.25x) - Common but still helpful
