Ore & Material Database

A foundational raw ore found in early surface veins and shallow plots. Used for basic tools, smelters, and tier-1 infrastructure.

Copper Ore is used for wiring, early electronics, and basic power distribution. Often found near iron deposits.

A rare crystal used in advanced batteries and high-capacity power storage. Spawns in deeper deposits and late-game zones.

Gold Shards are used in high-value contracts and some advanced electronics. Often found in scattered surface deposits.

Bauxite is the primary source of aluminum. Bulk shipments are required for mid-tier logistics and framework contracts.

Coal is the basic fuel for smelting and early power generation. Found in black seams near the surface.

Silica Sand is refined into glass and silicon for electronics. Common in desert and riverbed biomes.

High-end radioactive ore used for late-game power and specialized contracts. Values may have changed after the latest patch.

Silver is used for high-value conductors and some luxury contract items. Found in narrow veins deeper underground.

Titanium Clusters are used for the strongest frames and highest-tier machinery. Rare and usually locked behind advanced plots.

Nickel is used in alloys and stainless steel production. Often found alongside iron and bauxite deposits.

Quartz is used for glass, optics, and electronics. Found in crystal formations and geode-like deposits.

Crude Oil is not a normal ore vein. It sits underground as a reserve: you scan for oil density with Radar Mode, clear the spot with the Jackhammer, then extract it through an Oil Pipe Head instead of mining it by hand.

Tin Ore is the tin source for Bronze Ingot production — bronze has started from Tin since the official v1.0.6 patch. A single community source (lost-in-games.com, updated 2026-08-09) reports a mining price of §8 per unit. Locations and rarity are pending community verification.
