Silver

Used for trading

Silver is used for trading with traders, however each trader has a limited stock you can buy from. Silver is used to buy slaves, resources, and weapons. Additionally, traders will buy resources relevant to their specialization. Industrial Traders will buy silver, uranium, metal and wooden planks, Combat Traders will buy weapons, and Food Traders will buy food. Silver in great quantity is among the wreckage at the start of the game. After this silver is depleted, additional silver may only be obtained through random drops, trading or mining silver deposits.

Steel

Used for advanced construction

Steel is the primary resource for mid to late game construction, and is therefore vital. Steel appears at your crash site when a new game is started. After this steel is exhausted, it can be obtained through random drops, trading or mining. Steel can be mined from minerals, which are found in mineral veins in the mountains. Industrial traders buy and sell steel.

Plasteel

Generally considered the strongest material in the game. Used for a lot of high tech stuff.Can be obtained by trading, melting down mechs, or by mining deposits.

Gold

A very beautiful and expensive resource.

Stone

Used for stone construction

Stone is produced from rock rubble via a Stonecutter's table after it is researched. To create stone right click the table, click 'Bills', and use the + and - buttons to set how many pieces of rubble you wish to consume. You must have a colonist with 'crafting' enabled in the Overview menu. Stone can also be mined from abandoned structures that are randomly scattered throughout the map.

Cut stone (stone cutting research and workbench that uses slag chunks) can be used to supplement other valuable resources, namely steel and wood.

Cut stone can be used to craft walls (even the conduit walls that carry electricity), or fancy floors with faster than default walk speed and less mood penalty. Cut stone can be used to craft doors, automatic doors, tables, benches, beds, royal beds... Template:Clr Types of stone blocks(Alphabetical Order):
