Natural Resources

Natural resources are items that can be obtained by mining or collecting them.

Ores

Ores are found in varying concentrations on planets and in asteroids, where they can be mined by hand or by using ship-mounted Starship Drills on planets or Mining Lasers in space.

Asteroids can be found in all systems except Horizon, and most contain a single type of ore. Ore density, asteroid size, and asteroid type rarity is system dependent with the Trench containing the largest and most ore dense asteroids. Each of the four main systems has an asteroid type unique to that system with three ore types in one asteroid.

Aluminum Description Aluminum is a lightweight, silvery and ductile metal. Aluminum alloys are commonly used in applications where weight is a design consideration, such as vehicles, starships and portable devices.

Diamond Description Diamond is a pure form of carbon arranged in a crystal lattice structure. Its hardness and electrical properties lend its use to industrial applications. Properties Requires smelting: No Obtaining Found on: Krio ★★★ Lioda ★★ Asteroids (esp. Trench)	Emerald Description Emerald is a green gemstone formed from beryl minerals. Its hexagonal crystalline structure is excellent at focusing energy, finding uses in advanced hyperdrives and mining equipment. Properties Requires smelting: No Obtaining Found on: Gahara ★★ Turms ★★ Asteroids (esp. Trench)
Gold Description Gold is a yellow, highly malleable metal. Its inertness to chemical reactions, high electrical conductivity, and alluring luster resulted in gold being used in currency, jewelry, and (in recent times) high-performance electronics. Properties Requires smelting: Yes Obtaining Found on: Gahara ★★★ Qatra ★★ Isik ★★ Asteroids (esp. Regulus, Sirius, Trench)	Iron Description Iron is a grayish, hard metal. Although iron, by itself, is not very durable, iron is very common and its alloys are used in many industrial machines and structural supports in starships. Properties Requires smelting: Yes Obtaining Found on: Aret ★★★ Ilius ★★ Eden ★★ Asteroids (esp. Asteri, Sirius, Trench)
Lapis Lazuli Description Lapis Lazuli is a blue metamorphic rock and a precious stone. The stone can be crushed to form blue dyes, and has magical properties that help a tool or weapon attune themselves with enchantments. Properties Requires smelting: No Obtaining Found on: Turms ★★★ Krio ★★ Asteroids (esp. Trench)	Netherite Description Netherite is a mysterious brown metal found in ancient debris. By itself, netherite is not useful, but a labor-intensive process of refinement and alloying the metal with gold forms an extremely durable and precious metal. Properties Requires smelting: Yes Obtaining Found on: Isik ★★ Asteroids (esp. Trench)
Quartz Description Quartz is a classification of minerals, but most often manifests as a white crystal. It has interesting electrical properties that can be used to create accurate electronic clocks and oscillators. Properties Requires smelting: No Obtaining Found on: Rubaciea ★★ Herdoli ★★ Asteroids (esp. Ilios, Trench)	Redstone Description Redstone is a strange, conductive red mineral that crumbles easily into dust. Although superceded by copper and other metallic conductors, redstone is still sometimes used in very simple applications where the transmission line length is negligible. It can also be used as a source of power, although the cost of mining redstone usually does not justify the energy gained. Properties Requires smelting: No Obtaining Found on: Rubaciea ★★★ Chimgara ★★★ Vask ★★ Asteroids (esp. Sirius, Trench)
Titanium Description Titanium is a metal with an incredible strength-to-weight ratio. Titanium alloys are used in high-performance applications when durability is a consideration, such as weapon and starship components. Properties Requires smelting: Yes Obtaining Found on: Chandra ★★★ Aret ★★ Asteroids (esp. Ilios, Trench)	Uranium Description Uranium is a radioactive mineral that fluoresces green under ultraviolet light. The energy and particles emitted from each chunk of uranium can be harnessed to generate power. Properties Requires smelting: Yes Obtaining Found on: Luxiterna ★★ Qatra ★★ Asteroids (esp. Regulus, Trench)

Gases

Gases are a state of matter characterized by a large separation between its atoms.
Gases are stored in gas canisters and can be collected in gas collectors.
There are three types of gases: fuels, oxidizers, and inert gases.
Inert gases (Helium and Carbon Dioxide) do not react and cannot be used for energy production.

Fuels

Fuels store large amounts of energy and are the primary reactant in chemical reactions. Fuels store a certain amount of energy per unit. These are burned in gas power plants.

Hydrogen Description Hydrogen is the smallest and lightest element. It is the most abundant element in the universe and is found in many chemical compounds. Properties Type: Fuel Capacity: 1000 Power per unit: 2 Cooldown (ticks): 150 Obtaining Found on: Chandra 90% Luxiterna 20% Herdoli 20% Rubaciea 60% Gahara 30% Kovfefe 10% Turms 40%	Nitrogen Description Nitrogen is a common element in the universe and is used in many biological processes. Properties Type: Fuel Capacity: 500 Power per unit: 1 Cooldown (ticks): 100 Obtaining Found on: Ilius 50% Rubaciea 30% Aret 40% Aerach 50% Vask 50% Gahara 20% Chimgara 20% Krio 33% Lioda 50%

Oxidizers

Oxidizers are required for chemical reactions to take place. Oxidizers can multiply the amount of energy produced during a reaction. These are burned in gas power plants.
