Resources can be stored on Cargo Pads or in the Vault. Resources are used to manufacture other items in the Refinery, Assembling Machine or 3D Printer. 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.

Resources can be purchased in stations around the galaxy for U-nits, or obtained by trading with other players or manufacturing them yourself.

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.

Raw Resources
Icon	Resource	Field Type	Rarity	Quantity	Makes	Crate Icon
	Iron Ore	Rock asteroids	Common	600 per crate	Iron
	Copper Ore	Rock asteroids	Common	600 per crate	Copper, Brass
	Silicon Ore	Rock asteroids	Uncommon	600 per crate	Silicon
	Zinc Ore	Rock asteroids	Rare	600 per crate	Brass
	Water	Ice asteroids	Common	1,000 per crate	Hydrogen, Oxygen, Deuterium
	Nitrogen	Ice asteroids	Rare	600 per crate	Nitrous Oxide, Xanthium, Di-Xanthium, Tetra-Xanthium

	Silver	Rock asteroids	Rare	50 per crate	Chipsets, Cartridges
	Mercury	Rock asteroids	Rare	50 per crate	Chipsets, Cartridges
	Platinum	Rock asteroids	Rare	50 per crate	Chipsets, Cartridges
	Deuterium	Rock asteroids	Rare	50 per crate	Xanthium

	Lead Ore	Rock asteroids	Common	600 per crate	Lead
	Aluminium Ore	Rock asteroids	Common	600 per crate	Aluminium
	Uranium Ore	Rock asteroids	Rare	600 per crate	Uranium

* Carbon is also a byproduct of the Life Support Systems.

Refined Resources

Refined resources are created by putting raw resources in a Refinery, or by finding them on certain stations. For specific usage of these items other than crafting please click the item link below.

Radioactive Resources

Radioactive resources are created in the Assembling Machine or the Nuclear Reactor from refined items and / or spent fuel cells as follows. While three of these items are manufactured in the Assembling Machine, they are listed here to help display the order of the reactive chain. For specific usage of these items other than crafting please click the item link below.

Refined Resources
Icon	Resource	Made With	Quantity	Used In/For	Crate Icon
U-238 Fuel	U-238 Fuel	Assembling Machine	1 Fuel cell	Nuclear Reactor
U-238D Fuel	U-238D Fuel	Nuclear Reactor	1 Fuel cell	Pu-239 Fuel cell
Pu-239 Fuel	Pu-239 Fuel	Assembling Machine	1 Fuel cell	Nuclear Reactor
Pu-239D Fuel	Pu-239D Fuel	Nuclear Reactor	1 Fuel cell	Pu-241 Fuel cell
Pu-241 Fuel	Pu-241 Fuel	Assembling Machine	1 Fuel cell	Nuclear Reactor

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.

	Iron Scrap	600 per bundle	Iron
	Copper Scrap	600 per bundle	Copper
	Silicon Scrap	600 per bundle	Silicon
	Zinc Scrap	600 per bundle	Zinc Ore
	Carbon Scrap	600 per bundle	Carbon
	Steel Scrap	600 per bundle	Steel
	Brass Scrap	600 per bundle	Brass
