Base Metals

Iron and nickel are two widespread, easily recognized examples of base metals, or those metals that oxidize relatively easily. Their tremendous usefulness in numerous applications ensures that base metals are always in high demand. Thankfully, so is their abundance on most planetary surfaces. Can be obtained by mining the following types of planets: Barren Planet Gas Planet Ice Planet Temperate Planet

Solid planetary resources are extracted from planet surfaces and feed the manufacturing chain for structures and advanced components. Output depends on the planet type you site the extractor on, so scouting the right planet matters more than the extractor itself.
