− | + | ===Mineral amounts=== | |
− | + | 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: | |

− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||

− | + | {|border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 | |
− | + | !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 | |

− | + | |- | |
− | + | |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: | |
− | 2 | + | {|border=1 cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0 |
− | + | !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) | |

Mineral values
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 |
---|---|
Common | 1 |
Corrosive | 2 |
Base Metal | 3 |
Noble Gas | 4 |
Rare Earth | 5 |
Precious | 6 |
Radioactive | 8 |
Exotic | 25 |
Mineral amounts
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)
