Condensates

Oxidized coolant is required to produce the temperatures needed to force rare particles to condense out of ordinary matter, which is the most economic way to produce valuable base elements in bulk. Can be obtained by mining the following types of planets: Ice Planet Plasma 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.
