Resources

Resources are things you use to craft items or build with. Resources sometimes may be used for weaponry, for example Sulfur becomes mustard gas or explosives.

This is a list of most resources:

Spawn planet resources
These resources are resources found/crafted on spawn planets, and do not need space travel to acquire.
 * Iron - an incredibly important part for building and crafting.
 * Copper - One of the most important parts, as it is needed for wires. your base should be near a copper supply.
 * Coal - Used in burner generators and boilers to make power.
 * Stone - A early game building material. Used to make Templates.
 * Quartz - Used in many electronics. can be mined from rocks.
 * Sulfur - Used in many Weapons. Is also useful for making powercells can be mined from rocks.
 * Ruby - Used for making night vision can be mined from rocks.
 * Flint - Very useful for starting fires early game. can be mined from rocks.
 * Silicon - Used for many electronic and wiring-related parts. can be mined from rocks.
 * Helium - Can be used as ammo for plasmacannons. can be mined from rocks.
 * Water - Can be made into steam to generate power.
 * Oil - Used for making Gasoline and Plastic. can be mined from rocks.
 * Oxygen - A gas, not very useful yet.
 * Stick - Can be harvested from trees. Used in a few crafting recipes.
 * Wood - A basic resource used in some crafting recipes and for basic structures.
 * Rubber - Very useful for crafting and building. Has multiple special properties.
 * Snow - Can be melted into Water.
 * Ice - A solid block of ice. Used for physical machines. can be mined from rocks.
 * Sand - A pile of Sand. Not useful on its own, however it can be turned to Glass using a Kiln.
 * Glass - Made from Sand, very useful for building and a few crafting recipes.

Non-spawn planet resources
These resources are not found on starter planets, and require space travel to acquire, making them one of the only progressions in the game.
 * Uranium - Used for reactors, quite useful and also radioactive.
 * Aluminum - Used for making Mining Lasers and other technology. Very malleable, making it useful for larger structures.
 * Diamond - A rare gem used in lasers and other advanced recipes.
 * Hydrogen - Can be harvested from stars. Used in advanced applications. (nothing)
 * Jade - A rare gem used in several high-level recipes.
 * Gold - Used in dark matter technology.
 * Titanium - A very strong material used commonly for making high level technology and in spaceship armor.
 * Neutronium - An insanely strong, rare material harvestable from neutron stars.
 * ExoticMatter - An insanely rare resource from aliens only used for end-game applications. or a very expensive building material.
 * DarkMatter - A very rare resource harvested from black holes. used for end-game gameplay.

Randomly generated resources
Randomly Generated Resources are materials that are randomly generated by the game. These resources are exclusive to the planet they generated on. All planets except for Earthlikes will have these materials, and a planet can only have one random material. The resources will have random properties, ranging from non-malleable and brittle, to stretchier and harder than most resources, while others could be radioactive.

Known random resource effects:


 * Radioactivity
 * Cools/heats on contact with another resource
 * Emits light on contact with another resource
 * Generates power on contact with another resource (removed)
 * Explodes on contact with another resource
 * Random malleability
 * Random durability
