Locations & Materials
Every mineable ore in Star Citizen: every place it spawns, the rock types it comes in, what else is in those rocks, and its scan signature.
Basic view: where to mine each ore as the main ore in the rock, ranked by expected share (how much of the ore you can expect per deposit at that place: how often its rock turns up there, times the middle of how much of the rock it makes up). Top 3 first; “Show all” lists every primary location. Tick Advanced for secondary pairings, rock mixes, quality and spawn chances.
How to read a row: the share is how much of the rock this ore makes up (min-max %). Each rock line says how often that rock type turns up among the deposits for its mining method at the location, and the chance of that method’s deposits there (the “group”). The rock mix lists everything in the rock, with quality (Q) ranges; an ore listed twice comes in two quality bands. Top 3 ranks by expected share: the middle of the ore’s main share of the rock × how common that rock is there × the method group chance (primary first on ties); “Show all” lists the rest. Hand-mining rocks at outposts are in the caves nearby; the best cave type’s chance is used.
- Primary the rock type is named after this ore
- Secondary · in X rock this ore comes inside another ore’s rock (a pairing)
