Most traders will have some gold for sale, as will all settlements.  Gold is sometimes found on the bodies of [[raider]]s, as well as the Ancients found in random [[cryptosleep casket]]s.  Gold can rarely be found from mining [[Mine|gold veins]] or drilling with [[deep drill]]s.

'''Gold ore''' tiles have 1,500 health each, making them one of the faster ores to mine. They can be found in smaller veins, ranging from 2 to 8 tiles in size. Each mined block has a base yield of 40 gold, however this is modified by factors such as the [[Difficulty]] setting and the [[Mining_Yield|mining yield]] of the pawn.

Gold can also be sold to [[royal tribute collector]]s for [[honor]].{{RoyaltyIcon}} Collectors will arrive roughly twice a year, so long as you are not hostile to the [[empire]]. Gold is sold at a rate of 200 gold : 3 honor, or 0.015 honor per gold.

== Analysis ==
 
−
As mentioned, a small amount of gold is necessary for creating the [[multi-analyzer]] ({{Icon Small|gold}} 20), and later on, [[advanced component]]s ({{Icon Small|gold}} 3 per unit). You can plan ahead by grabbing a small stockpile of gold before you have the research to make these buildings.
 
−
 
 
−
Gold also has its uses for the [[Royalty DLC]]. It is required to build the [[royal bed]]s and [[grand meditation throne]]s{{RoyaltyIcon}} demanded from the highest class [[noble]]s. It can also be sold for [[honor]].
 
−
 
 
−
=== As beautiful furniture ===
 
−
Other than that, gold is best used on the following items:
 
−
 
 
−
* Golden [[sculptures]] are among the most beautiful and valuable items in the game. They are the best gold item to sell, due to the [[quality]] multiplier and art's further x1.1 [[Sell Price Multiplier]]. (If you don't have a good artist, then other items may be preferred for selling).
 
−
* Golden [[fence]]s have {{+|20}} beauty per {{Icon Small|gold}} 10 fence, due to gold's ''beauty offset''.  50 gold fences would give {{+|1000}} beauty, while a normal quality gold sculpture takes equivalent gold for {{+|220}} beauty. Only a masterwork or legendary sculpture can beat fences for beauty/gold.
 
−
:However, 50 fences take 50 tiles of space. Not only do you need a large enough building for these 50 fences, but a pawn's [[beauty]] need looks for buildings in an 8-tile radius. Most of the time, a pawn won't look at all 50 fences at a time, but they can look at a 1-tile sculpture constantly.
 
−
* [[Gold tile]]s are less efficient in beauty / gold than sculptures, but have logistic advantages: they cannot be destroyed by [[raider]]s and do not take up building space.
 
−
However, gold is not a very practical material to use. See below for details.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Comparison to silver furniture ===
 
−
While gold is the most beautiful material, selling gold and using [[silver]] to create furniture is often more efficient. Even with 0% [[Trade Price Improvement]], 1 gold can be sold for 6 silver, or 4.8 silver in [[difficulty|Losing is Fun]]. You can further increase the gold : silver ratio by processing gold into sculptures and selling them.
 
−
 
 
−
At normal [[quality]], a gold [[small sculpture]] would give {{+|220}} beauty. You could instead sell the component gold for, at the very minimum, {{Icon Small|silver}} 2400 silver. This is enough for 2 silver [[large sculpture]]s, which gives {{+|412}} beauty with the same quality. Note that 2 silver sculptures would require 2 times the space and take over 4 times the work. But this is minimal compared to the effort required to get the gold in the first place. If space is an issue, then [[silver tile]]s will be better in beauty / cost than gold tiles in a similar fashion.
 
−
 
 
−
This can be further improved by using cheap, easily acquirable materials like [[wood]] and [[stone]]. Most of the time, either material is more practical as sculpture material than silver, let alone gold.
 
−
 
 
−
Once resource acquisition and [[wealth]] stop mattering in the endgame, then gold is the best material due to its superior beauty / tile.
