### SPACE Entrances and Exits

Within each **SPACE**, there is a **Single Entrance** and **Multiple Exits**. For players who want to connect their **SPACE** to their [**Personal Metaverse**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse)**,** they will need to use that **SPACE**'s **Entrance**.

Players can connect multiple **SPACE** to one another to further expand their [**Personal Metaverse**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse).

To connect two **SPACE,** an **Entrance** needs to be attached to an **Exit**.

&#x20;**Exits** are also used to connect [**Workshops**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) to the **SPACE**.

<figure><img src="https://3228690745-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FmbENrMdsRg8sJLWPWxS9%2Fuploads%2F4SplGTdUSxW1dKzyvnup%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=9b26d48d-0472-431a-8348-db95508216a3" alt=""><figcaption><p>More Exits also means more Utility Collectibles that can be connected.</p></figcaption></figure>

The number of **Exits** depends on the **SPACE** Rarity and size.

### **SPACE Size and Rarity Benefits**

**SPACE** comes in various **Rarities** and **Sizes**. Larger **SPACE** will allow players to connect more [**Workshops**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops), place more [**Decoration Collectibles**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles/decoration-collectables)**,** and host more friends in their **SPACE**.

<figure><img src="https://3228690745-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FmbENrMdsRg8sJLWPWxS9%2Fuploads%2FsFj4d1EmXrsfgtSblIJY%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=289b1c75-e5e7-44a8-8862-72f73076ef0d" alt=""><figcaption><p>Exits by SPACE Rarity and Size.</p></figcaption></figure>

**Higher Rarity** [**Workshops**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) are only attachable to **Higher Rarity** **SPACE**.

<figure><img src="https://3228690745-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FmbENrMdsRg8sJLWPWxS9%2Fuploads%2FnBXTJj7XycLx2c0F2pqb%2FSPACE_rarity.png?alt=media&#x26;token=f2b39fd9-eee6-4a0b-abfd-f12b3c791fb1" alt=""><figcaption><p>Eligibility of Utility Collectible attachment given a SPACE Rarity.</p></figcaption></figure>

**Some Higher Rarity** [**Decoration Collectibles**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/cosmetic-collectibles/decoration-collectables) are only attachable to **Higher Rarity** **SPACE,** and some may require certain sizes of SPACE (e.g. A giant Dinosaur Skeleton may require a Large SPACE).

<figure><img src="https://3228690745-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FmbENrMdsRg8sJLWPWxS9%2Fuploads%2FdeStub3PQMYWG2THVmcr%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=dc087968-a409-4dd7-8ba1-2634e25505fd" alt=""><figcaption><p>Decoration Collectibles Attachment given SPACE Rarity.</p></figcaption></figure>

**Higher Rarity** **SPACE** have a higher chance of dropping a **Higher Quality** [**Cracked Hourglass**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses/cracked-hourglasses) in them.&#x20;

On the other hand, **SPACE Sizes** determines the quantity of [**Cracked Hourglasses**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses/cracked-hourglasses) that can spawn in that **SPACE**. The larger the size, the higher the chance of getting more than one [**Cracked Hourglass**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/hourglasses/cracked-hourglasses).

<figure><img src="https://3228690745-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FmbENrMdsRg8sJLWPWxS9%2Fuploads%2FkG4xNXmEnIdMSXZOmYgI%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=7804133b-affd-4ac5-a95c-25bebc53f145" alt=""><figcaption><p>Cracked Hourglass Drop Rate Given SPACE Rarity.</p></figcaption></figure>

### **“Unwrapping” SPACE**

**SPACE** comes with a different internal configuration that determines:&#x20;

* The placement of area-specific features&#x20;
* The locations of the Exits&#x20;
* The theme of each SPACE (e.g. Egyptian, Arthurian, etc.)

**SPACE** comes **“Wrapped”**.  Players know the rarity and size of their wrapped **SPACE**, but do not know the internal configuration or theme until it is "**Unwrapped"**.  Once a SPACE is unwrapped the internal configuration is **Permanent**.

Players may sell wrapped or unwrapped **SPACE** on the [**Open Loot Marketplace**](https://openloot.com/explore?category=space)**.**

## SPACE Renting

Renting assets is an important part of the Big Time economy and is facilitated through the Open Loot platform. For SPACE owners who aren't actively using their SPACE, renting provides a way to generate passive yield while making that utility available to other players.

Key features of the Renting System:

* Players with multiple **SPACEs** and [**Workshops**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) can lend their assets to others.
* Players who do not own **SPACE** or [**Workshops**](https://wiki.bigtime.gg/big-time-economy/economy-components/personal-metaverse/workshops) can still participate in the crafting system by renting them through the Open Loot platform.
