Ferrite Dust is a resource.

Summary[ | ]

Ferrite Dust (Fe) is a resource and one of the metal elements. It is obtainable on the surface of planets, from various rocks.

Game description[ | ]

An abundant mineral element, found in rock formations and other areas of geological interest. Easily extracted using a Mining Laser.

Typically requires processing in a Refiner before use in construction or technology manufacture.

Source[ | ]

Ferrite Dust can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.LUSH Paraffinium x1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust x1  ("Ferrite Dust Extraction", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.COLD Dioxite x1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust x1  ("Ferrite Dust Extraction", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.HOT Phosphorus x1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust x1  ("Ferrite Dust Extraction", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.DUSTY Pyrite x1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust x1  ("Ferrite Dust Extraction", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SPACEGUNK.3 Rusted Metal x1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust x2  ("Recycle Waste Materials", 0.64 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.RADIO Uranium x1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust x1  ("Ferrite Dust Extraction", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.TOXIC Ammonia x1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust x1  ("Ferrite Dust Extraction", 0.36 sec./unit output)

Trivia[ | ]

The real life version of ferrite dust is basically rock dust. Mostly iron with trace minerals of zinc, copper, etc.

Additional information[ | ]

Due to how starship weapon capability to be used to farm for asteroid resource, player could alternatively mine large source of ferrite dust and other basic raw materials (di-hydrogen, oxygen, sodium, etc. on planet surface by flying low and strafing it with a sufficiently powerful starship weapon. While incapable of 'mining' big rocks requiring advance mining, due to the massive damage potential of starship weaponry, capable of quickly stripping and mining both organic and inorganic material much quicker compared to using mining laser. At extremely high damage potential on planet with dense mineable object cluttered together, a strafing starship might outmine exocrafts mining speed. Sentinel interceptor, in this regards, works even better due to capability to hover in place.
