'''Minerals and Their Uses[[]]
 
−
Every segment of society uses minerals and mineral resources everyday. The roads we ride or drive on and the buildings we live learn and work in all contain minerals. Below is a selected list of commonly used metallic and nonmetallic minerals, ore minerals, mineral byproducts, aggregates, and rock types that are used to make products we use in our daily life.
 
−
Aggregates

Natural aggregates include sand, gravel, and crushed stone. Aggregates are composed of rock fragments that may be used in their natural state or after mechanical processing, such as crushing, washing, or sizing. Recycled aggregates consist mainly of crushed concrete and crushed asphalt pavement.
 
−
Aluminum

Antimony is a silvery-gray, brittle semi-metal. It rarely occurs in nature as a native element, but is found in a number of different minerals. Antimony is used principally for flame retardants as well as in ammunition and automotive batteries and as a decolorizing agent in glassmaking.
 
−
 
 
−
 
−
Asbestos

Asbestos is a class of minerals that can be readily separated into thin, strong fibers that are flexible, heat resistant, and chemically inert. Asbestos minerals are used in fireproof fabrics, yarn, cloth, and paper and paint filler. Asbestos is used to make friction products, asbestos cement pipes and sheets, coatings and compounds, packing and gaskets, roofing and flooring products, paints and caulking, and chemical filters. Fibers are dangerous when breathed, so users must protect against fibers becoming airborne.

Zirconium is a metal recovered from zircon. "Zircon is used in mineral form in refractory products, where it is valued for its high melting temperature of 2,550°C. Some zircon is processed by chemical leaching to yield elemental zirconium. The best known use for zirconium metal is in nuclear reactors, where zirconium contains the fuel" (Kesler, 1994).

Mineral values[edit]

This table shows the RU you can receive at the Starbase at Earth, per unit of minerals. A graphic table is also available.

Category Value
Mineral Common.png Common 1
Mineral Corrosive.png Corrosive 2
Mineral BaseMetal.png Base Metal 3
Mineral NobleGas.png Noble Gas 4
Mineral RareEarth.png Rare Earth 5
Mineral Precious.png Precious 6
Mineral Radioactive.png Radioactive 8
Mineral Exotic.png Exotic 25

Mineral amounts[edit]

The number and size of the mineral deposits on a planet is determined from the specified deposit type and the size of the system's star as follows:

Description Quantity Quality Avg Dwarf Avg Giant Avg Super
Trace 0-1 1-10 5.5 8 15.5
Light 0-4 1-10 11 21 31
Medium 0-4 6-15 21 31 41
Heavy 0-4 11-20 31 41 51
Huge 0-8 11-20 62 82 102
  • Quantity is the number of mineral deposits of that type to be found on the planet.
  • Quality is the size of each mineral deposit. The numbers given are for Dwarf star systems. Giant and Supergiant systems add +5 and +10, respectively, to the Quality of each mineral deposit in the system.
  • Avg Dwarf is the average number of units of the mineral one could expect to find on such a planet around a Dwarf star.
  • Avg Giant is the average number of units of the mineral one could expect to find on such a planet around a Giant star.
  • Avg Super is the average number of units of the mineral one could expect to find on such a planet around a Supergiant star.

Where the minerals table says "×2" or "×3", there will be multiple series of deposits. So for example a Carbide World will generate three Heavy sets of deposits.

The size of the graphic used for the deposit is determined as follows:

Quality Graphic Size
0-15 Small
16-23 Medium
23-30 Large

Note that deposits of 23 units can appear as either Medium or Large graphics (about a 50-50 chance of either)
