These materials can't be found in asteroids, but you may encounter them when working with the arc smelter or a processor/reclaimer. Contrary to popular belief, breaking them does not in of itself cause quakes, though it does make them worse. If you mine them out, the Engineers will love you for boosting their vent units' power generation. They don't have a special icon, but you'll know you've struck one when the rock you're breaking suddenly releases sparks and makes an rather ominous hissing sound. Sections of Oshan Lab's Trench full of trapped geothermal energy. Poke it with the scanner to find out what. Volatile ore will glow red when struck, giving you only a few moments to escape.Ĭontains a smuggler stash, an artifact or a sleeping rock worm. Radioactive rock will glow blueish once exposed. Rock contains either radioactive or volatile ore. Super-dense asteroids tend to have a significant quantity of gems at their core, so the effort can be justified. Has a hardness rating of 10 and is extremely difficult to break through. Using your geological scanner will give specific information and spit out symbols denoting these conditions.Īlways contains chunks of water ice in addition to other materials. Alternatively, you can use to infuse chemicals into metals and alloys in the the refining nano-fabricator.Ĭertain rocks may have special conditions on them. Sell them to Gragg, the NPC rockworm QM merchant, for a cool 300k-450k. Makes excellent decor.Įxtremely valuable, but can only be found in rusted crates located in the trench, extremely rare starstone asteroids located by the quantum telescope, and the remains of meteor showers. Can morph into different substances at welder-level temperatures or when struck. Its level of "crystalline density" changes every round, allowing it to sometimes serve as a substitute for uqill. Required for high-end mining gear, certain upgrades at robotics, always sells well at the cargo bay, and can be used to make replacement ammo for the RCD. Can be processed into fabric with a processor/reclaimer, used in the nano-crucible, or sold for small sums on the open market.Ĭrystallized scifi magic. Can be used in some machinery, for cyborg upgrades and be sold off for a good sum. Shiny cones that let you break the laws of physics. Tier 3: onyx, rose quartz, citrine, jade, aquamarine, iolite Tier 2: jasper, garnet, peridot, malachite, lapis lazuli, alexandrite Tier 1: diamond, ruby, topaz, emerald, sapphire, amethyst They have no value on the market, but the rarest gems function as a substitute for uqill. Space jewels that come in three tiers (tier 1 being the hardest and densest). If you plan to sell them, remember that raw gems are often more valuable than processed alloys. Use your geological scanner to find gems quickly. A mined rock may contain only 1 gem at a time. Refined rock sports unique marble patterning that make it an attractive choice for construction.Ĭertain gems are rare and valuable. Space dirt! Produced by mining asteroid tiles, they are omnipresent, valueless, and ignored by automatic ore collectors such as the Ore Scoop and Mineral Accumulator. Note: Ores and gems won't be usable in the mining fabricator unless you process them with material processor or portable reclaimer first. not a block or ingot) is more valuable than processed alloys. If you plan to sell them, remember that raw ore (i.e. Certain ores are dangerous and require special care. Each ore carries a basic toughness that corresponds to the tool needed to mine it. You can send most unprocessed ore to the quartermaster to sell, and certain ores will also be useful to the roboticist, to the engineers, and to yourself to upgrade your equipment.
