Pyrite is a resource.

Summary

Pyrite (Py) is a resource and one of the localised earth elements. It is used as fuel for the starship's Pulse Engine.

Game description

Local mineral extract, typically found in large deposits or extracted from common materials after inspection with an Analysis Visor.

Typically found on planets with a desert environment.

Source

As a secondary element in some minerals or in Resource Deposits or Hotspots on planets with Barren biomes.
Also available from some Galactic Trade Terminals.

Pyrite can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

Gold x1 → Pyrite x1 ("Metal Restructuring", 0.6 sec./unit output)
Gold x1 + Oxygen x1 → Pyrite x2 ("Mineral Alchemy", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Cactus Flesh x2 + Salt x1 → Pyrite x1 ("Floral Titration", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Uranium x2 + Ferrite Dust x1 → Pyrite x1 ("Environmental Element Transfer", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Uranium x2 + Pure Ferrite x1 → Pyrite x1 ("Environmental Element Transfer", 0.9 sec./unit output)

Cooking

Pyrite is not used as an ingredient for cooking using a Nutrient Processor.

Trivia

Pyrite (FeS2, name derived from the Greek word pyrites, meaning "of fire") is an iron-sulfide, commonly mistaken for gold and thus nicknamed 'fool's gold'. In real life, Pyrite's closest use as fuel was previously a source of ignition in early firearms during the 16th-17th century but is also now commonly more used as a cathode material in Energizer's lithium batteries.
