Platinum
505
Extremely valuable interstellar trading mineral, typically mined from asteroids. Occasionally found in underground planetary deposits. Universally prized for its hardiness and versatility.
Raw Materials
Pugneum
138
This oily, unsettling liquid leaks from the circuitry of Sentinels. Prized by the Vy'keen, Pugneum is thought to share some essential properties with Nanites. It hums in a sinister fashion upon contact with organic matter.
Pure Ferrite
28
Processed metal, free of dust and pebbles. Used to construct a wide variety of structures and technologies. Typically purified from Ferrite dust using a Refiner, but can occasionally be found in large deposits. Collection may require an Advanced Mining Laser.
Pyrite
62
Local mineral extract, typically found in large deposits or extracted from common minerals after inspection with an Analysis Visor. Typically found on planets with a desert environment.
QUICKSILVER
28
Currency or faction standing, given as a reward.
Radon
20
A colourless, odourless gas with a relatively short half-life. Found in both Radioactive and Frozen atmospheres, this gas is produced by the decay of other high-energy elements.
Residual Goop
20
A pulsating, foul smelling goop that builds up in poorly-maintained machinery. Skin contact is not advised.
Runaway Mould
20
An out of control mould growth that builds up in poorly-maintained machinery. Likely to be several different species of mould, merged together into one super-colony.
Rusted Metal
20
Handfuls of corroded metal, distorted by years of exposure to the harsh environment. Handle with care.
Salt
101
A naturally occuring salt, found in abundance in underwater minerals. Can be processed in a Refiner to create Chlorine. This refined form is used in the manufacture of advanced products and technologies.
Silicate Powder
2
An abundant mineral element, found within the geological strata of all rocky worlds. Easily extracted using a Terrain Manipulator. Create a tunnel anywhere to begin extraction. Process in a Refiner to create Glass.
Silver
186
Valuable interstellar trading mineral, typically mined from asteroids. Occasionally found in underground planetary deposits. Prized by people in all systems for its lustre and shine.
Sodium
41
A powerful catalyst, useful for charging defensive technologies such as shields or hazard protection. Exosuit material handling technology allows automatic harvesting from appropriate sodium-rich flora. A vital ingredient in the creation of many advanced devices, products and components.
Sodium Nitrate
82
An advanced catalyst, useful for charging defensive technologies such as shields or hazard protection. Created in a Refiner, or occasionally found in crystalline form on a planet's surface. Offers a substantially improved energy-per-gram ratio over regular Sodium.
Solanium
70
A powerful chemical that has resisted attempts at synthesis. It can be harvested from the bark of the Solar Vine. The vine requires a hot climate to thrive in the wild, but can be farmed in all environments with the aid of a Hydroponics Tray.
Somnal Dust
1616
Grey, dead, sparkling with life and colour, singing as it shimmers. This impossibly fine dust is the accumulated decay of time and memories. Collected from the fine layers it forms around hotspots in the loop. Of great value to Specialist Polo as they research the loop.
Star Bulb
32
A beautiful gemstone, this prized product is the engorged, luminescent berry of the Star Bramble. The host plant requires lush conditions to thrive in the wild, but can be farmed in all environments with the aid of a Hydroponics Tray.
Sulphurine
20
A pungent atmospheric gas. High concentrations are extremely hazardous to organic life. With the aid of specialised machinery, can be extracted from the atmospheres of Scorched and Desert planets.
Tainted Metal
380
Shredded fragments of a soft, grey metal. Its surface is porous, and when touched it oozes ever-so-slightly. Found in the creaking wreck of a derelict freighter. The space station Scrap Dealer may find this interesting...
Tritium
6
Radioactive isotope commonly used to fuel the fusion reactor at the heart of starship Pulse Engines. Abundant in interstellar asteroid fields, Tritium can be mined from asteroids using starship weaponry. Scan (SCAN) to search for tritium-rich asteroids.
UNITS
28
Currency or faction standing, given as a reward.
Uranium
62
Local mineral extract, typically found in large deposits or extracted from common minerals after inspection with an Analysis Visor. Typically found on planets with a radioactive environment.
Viscous Fluids
20
An unnaturally thick liquid of dubious colour. Its origins are impossible to fathom. Appears to have some mild magnetic properties.
Void Mote
380
A purified drop of Atlantideum, refined to its very essence. This precious material is acquired by earning favour with and assisting the Autophage. Visit the Autophage Synthesis Terminal found at all Autophage camps to exchange Void Motes for unique customisation options.
