Ore

Ore is a class of materials found naturally on planets. It can be extracted through mining and refined into bars using furnaces such as primitive furnace, industrial furnace, and atomic furnace. Bars are a main component of crafting weapons, armor, and furniture.

Ore is distributed in proportional layers throughout planets, meaning smaller planets will have less ground to dig through to get to deeper ore.

Each ore will allow for a 'tier' of armor, weapons and furniture to be crafted that will resemble the ores appearance and share a stylistic theme. Each race has unique ore based armor available by default.

Basic ores

These ores are used in several crafting recipes and are available on all planets except for Barren planets and Moons. Asteroid Fields only contain copper, silver, and gold ores. Diamonds are rarely found near a planet's core in small quantities.

Weapon and Racial Armor Ores

These ores are the primary ingredient in tiered, racial weapons and armor. All of them, once refined, can be used to craft armor, weapons and other items.
