The initial cost to play the game is 20 Hive to buy your citizenship, and it is a fixed price equal to everyone.
Inside the game you will be able to mine SCRAP and improve your character in terms of Favor, Engineering, Attack, Defense, and Stash.
To understand what is each one, please check the wiki created by 
I paid the citizenship fee (20 Hive) to play the game, and then I also decided to invest more 4 Hive buying some SCRAP to upgrade some stats.
I was able to upgrade my Damage (two levels), my Stash Size (twenty-two levels), Favor (one level) and Engineering (one level)
Before I start to buy create and have some NFTs to help improve my stats, I want to improve my basic stats like Defense and Damage.
Why?
I need to have a better defense to be able to defense my higher Engineering.
I decided to change my strategy to level up more, my Damage and Defense will always have a gap of two levels. So next defense upgrade will be only when damage reach 140.
Previously, I had 90.81% on my Win Scrap side, and now I have 89.08%.
This week, I was not able to improve my Win/Lost SCRAP ratio.
So, it appears that level up my Engineering it causing get some attacks, but I am ok with that.
Even knowing that I will upgrade slowly, I will continue to follow my strategy and see where I can go with it.
