Resources

Resources can be stored on Cargo Pallets or in the Vault. Resources are used to manufacture other items in the Refinery or Assembling Machine. They can also be used as fuel, in-space objects, or as trade goods. There are several different types of resources that are all defined below.

Raw Resources

Raw Resources are mined from asteroid fields by using Resource Extractors. They are stored in containment crates which can be then stored on pallets in your ship or in the vault at a base.

The following table lists the raw resources in the game, where they can be found, their rarity and how many can be stored per containment crate. Any raw resources that can be used without being refined are linked to the resource pages that show you how they can be used.

Manufactured Resources

Manufactured resources are created in an Assembling Machine.

Scrap Resources

Scrap resources can be salvaged from wrecks or from deconstructing ships. Scrap resources can be put in a Refinery to make usable resources.

NOTE: Copper Scrap will be made only into Copper not Copper Ore and therefore cannot be used to make Brass.
