–In-Game Description | ||
Transplutonic Ore is a commodity found throughout the sector.
Transplutonic Ore is a relatively common material that can be found on all planet types, except Gas and Ice Giants, though is not guaranteed to appear on any planet types aside from Volcanic and Cryovolcanic planets. It is extracted by the Mining industry (pop size - 2 + modifier), and demanded by the Refining industry (pop size - 2).
Volcanic-type planets are guarenteed to contain deposites of Transplutonic Ore, and typically in greater abundance than most other planets. Toxic and Irradiated planets will contain Transplutonic Ore deposits more often than not, but can still lack the ore. Other planet types can host Transplutonic Ore, but it is not common, and those deposits are typically smaller.
