'''''Ores''''' are used to build ships. To obtain raw Ore, players must use a [[:Category:Miner|Miner-class]] ship like the [[Wasp]]. [[Mining]] allows the raw Ore to be dumped and "refined" at the [[Mega Base]] or any faction [[Starbase]] or planet, giving the player [[Credits]] in return. Ore also has mass (measured in meters cubed), which, in Galaxy, is a measurement of how much space the Ore will take up in a ship's Ore Hold, Cargo Hold, or in a player's [[Warehouse]]. This is something to keep in mind when Trading or Mining because it can affect the amount of money players make. Based on the amount (mass) of ore sold and the value of the Ore at the [[Starbase]], players can make quite a profit through [[Trading]] and [[Mining]] Ores. Below in the "List of Ores" there are the masses of the Ore as listed by the [[Mega Base]]. Each Ore mined spawns a new Ore somewhere in the server. All ships excluding the [[Wasp]] and [[Wyrm]] require at least some Silicate, Carbon, and Iridium. Higher tier ships require Adamantite, Quantium, Titanium, and Palladium as well as Silicate, Carbon, and Iridium. The newest Ore in Galaxy is Uranium, which has a yellow-green glow to it. It was added during the Rogue One Star Wars Event and spawns around the [[Derelict Station]] and planets like [[Frion I]] or [[Myriad III]]. Uranium, though previously used only for special cases, is now used to build almost every ship. Uranium was previously traded in exchange for one Weapons Part, which in turn enabled players to build the [[Prototype X-1]] and [[Prototype X-2]]. Ores can spawn 180-200 studs large.
[[Category:Galaxy Lore]]
The word "Materials" usually refers to the ''refined'' version of Ores, which is the kind that players buy and sell at Starbases and the kind of Ore that goes into a ship's Cargo Hold or a player's [[Warehouse]]. Sector ores such as Titanium, Palladium, Quantium, and Adamantite spawn randomly but in high frequencies in corners of the map, for instance Palladium in the top left Quantium in the bottom left etc. The corners where the sector ore spawns is random and not set.
__TOC__
There are two ways to refine mined ores: Selling (You give the starbase the ores and you get credits in exchange) and Transferring (The starbase refines the ores and gives you a portion of said ores). The payout increases with higher loyalty:
== Description ==
[[File:OreQuadrants.png|thumb|right|Rare Ore Quadrants, showing the Dead Zone as red.]]''For information on [[Mining]] read the [[Mining]] page.''
'''''Ores''''' are rocky materials used mainly to build ships and the make credits. These materials are a core part of mining.
(Transfer payouts by loyalty):
Ores have a mass which is measured in Cubic Meters, which, in Galaxy, is a measurement of how much space the Ore will take up in a ship's Ore Hold, Cargo Hold, or in a player's [[Warehouse]]. This is something to keep in mind when Trading or Mining because it can affect the amount of money players make.
* 0% loyalty: 63.4% of the ore you mined (in units) is given back
* 1% loyalty: 65.6% of the total amount of units
Each Ore mined spawns a new Ore somewhere in the server, '''however, when a server is in ''[[Endgame]]'' status, Ores will have their spawns disabled''', though ores will start spawning again '''if''' there are more than 2 Factions in [[Endgame]] state.
* 2% loyalty: 68.8%
* 3% loyalty: 72%
'''''All''''' ships in the [[Build Menu]] ''(excluding the [[Wasp]] and [[Wyrm]])'' require at least some Silicate, Carbon, and Iridium. Higher tier ships require Adamantite, Quantium, Titanium, and Palladium as well as Uranium.
* 4% loyalty: 75.2%
===Locations===
* 5% loyalty: 78.4%
'''Common Ores'''; Silicate, Carbon and Iridium are found commonly scattered throughout the map of Galaxy. These ores also spawn in a large cluster near [[:Category:Starbase|Starbases]] and [[:Category:Planets|Planets]].
* 6% loyalty: 81.6%
* 7% loyalty: 84.8%,
'''Rare Ores'''; Adamantite, Palladium, Titanium and Quantium, are only found in what is called a '''Quadrant'''. A Quadrant is any of the four parts into which a plane is divided by rectangular coordinate axes lying in that plane. In this case, axes that separates the Quadrants is called a ''Dead Zone'', in which little to no rare ores can be found. More explanation can be found below.
*8% loyalty: 88%,
*9% loyalty: 91.2%,
'''Uranium Ore'''; Uranium Ore, a unique type of ore, is found scattered all around the map just like Common Ores, but is much more scarce and harder to find.
*10% loyalty: 94.4%,
*11% loyalty: 97.6%,
In the image shown on the right, the map highlights the 4 Quadrants on the 4 Corners and the middle square being [[Mega Base]], these are where Rare Ores of each type spawn on each one of quadrants. The Red Zone shows where it is not possible for Rare Ores to spawn. Keep in mind that 2 Types of Rare Ores '''cannot''' spawn at the same quadrant ''(e,g Palladium and Quantium at the same time cannot be on the magenta quadrant'').
*12% loyalty: 100.8% (at this point you start gaining more ore)
* etc. (You can see that there's a 3.2% rise in payout per loyalty level)
''Note: Rare Ore types are not fixed in 1 Quadrant, instead they are randomized after each round reset or server reset.''
==Version History==
== Silicate ==
*Ores were remodeled in version .66b by bomb_pops.
*Rather than immediately halting upon endgame, ore respawns are halted only when fewer than 3 factions remain, as of version .69b.
*Ore asteroids were made slightly larger and now contain more raw material as of version .70a.
*Ore prices for bases have a fixed price floor of 3.5x the mass of the ore; Mega Base ore prices auto-adjust based on normalized quantities as of version .70a.
*Ore gained a lighting effect later on in version .75a4.

The [[Space Pumpkin]]s were obtainable from the wrecks of the [[Grim Reaper]], [[Alien Harvest Servitor]]s, [[Harvest King]], and sometimes able to be purchased from the [[Mega Base]]. These items were used to build a plethora of event ships, and exchanged in order to obtain the [[Reaper]] [[:Category:Battlecruiser|Battlecruiser]] from the [[Headless Horseman]], and the [[Grim]] [[:Category:Battleship|Battleship]] from the [[Grim Reaper (NPC)]].
* '''[[Ghost Pumpkin]]: '''An [[Halloween Event 2018]] exclusive event item. Dropped primarily by the [[Harvest King]] in its Final Form, and very rarely bought from the [[Mega Base]]. 5 [[Ghost Pumpkin]]s, alongside 100 [[Space Pumpkin]]s were used in exchange for the [[Grim]] Battleship from the [[Grim Reaper (NPC)]].

It is required for the [[Nautilus]], the [[Osiris]] [[:Category:Dreadnought|Dreadnought]], [[Prototype X-2]] , [[Obliterator]] and [[Hyperion]]. The Prototype X-2, the [[Nautilus]], the [[Osiris]], as well as the [[Hyperion]] however, are all either unavailable or no longer have them in the cost.
* '''Plasma Battery:''' New item added in version .70d; dropped by [[Punisher|Alien Punishers]] [3], [[Decimator|Decimators]] [3], [[Galleon|Galleons]] [6], [[Hearteater|Hearteaters]] [6], [[X-0|X-0's]] [10], and [[Kodiak|Kodiaks]] [15] and used for the [[Nautilus]] and [[Obliterator]], along with the Black Market quests on [[Pyramus|Pyramus]]

It currently serves no purpose, as it was not removed and now is extremely rare.
* '''Kodiak Activator: '''The reward for completing [[Dining In Hell]], this material was used in the quest [[Depthbreaker]]. It currently serves no purpose, as it was not removed.
* '''Weapons Part:''' This material was part of the three-day second release of the Quest exchangeable [[Prototype X-1]] and [[Prototype X-2]]. The [[Deity]], [[Subjugator]] and [[Hyperion]] also used this for their Quests. Previously, if you wanted to acquire a Weapons Part, you needed to gather 30500 Uranium and go to the [[U.N.E Harbor Master]] in Terminal C of the [[Mega Base]]. 30500 Uranium filled up a Level 30 [[Warehouse]]. The Weapons part is now being used for rotation-based re-releases of the Prototypes, and is sold by an NPC known as "[[Rev]]"
*'''[[Gamma Pumpkin]]s:''' This material was dropped by the [[Alien Serv]], [[Alien Scourge]], [[Rift Guardian]] and [[Rift Custodian]], to build ships during the event. Profitable to sell.
*'''Void Pumpkins:''' This material was extremely rare and hard to get. Only dropped by the [[Rift Guardian]]s and [[Rift Custodian]], these pumpkins were very profitable to sell and were used to build ships such as the [[Naga]] and the [[Blackgate]].

These permits can be used to build a [[:Category:Limited|Limited]] ship that is available on the limited ship build menu, although these permits are not cheap. Their prices range from 170k credits for Class E Permits all the way up to an '''''astounding''''' 13.5 million credits(adjusted for recent price deflation) for Class A Permits.
*'''Thrust Component:''' New item added in version .72f1 and is obtainable by completing Quest #200 titled "Long Time Coming". The requirements to complete the quest are 1 Ascension Crystal, 5 Data Archives, and 15 Plasma Batteries. You receive 10 '''Thrust Components''' for the completion of the quest.

Ores are rocky materials used mainly to build ships and the make credits. These materials are a core part of mining.
Ores have a mass which is measured in Cubic Meters, which, in Galaxy, is a measurement of how much space the Ore will take up in a ship's Ore Hold, Cargo Hold, or in a player's Warehouse. This is something to keep in mind when Trading or Mining because it can affect the amount of money players make.
Each Ore mined spawns a new Ore somewhere in the server, however, when a server is in Endgame status, Ores will have their spawns disabled, though ores will start spawning again if there are more than 2 Factions in Endgame state.
All ships in the Build Menu(excluding the Wasp and Wyrm) require at least some Silicate, Carbon, and Iridium. Higher tier ships require Adamantite, Quantium, Titanium, and Palladium as well as Uranium.
Locations
Common Ores; Silicate, Carbon and Iridium are found commonly scattered throughout the map of Galaxy. These ores also spawn in a large cluster near Starbases and Planets.
Rare Ores; Adamantite, Palladium, Titanium and Quantium, are only found in what is called a Quadrant. A Quadrant is any of the four parts into which a plane is divided by rectangular coordinate axes lying in that plane. In this case, axes that separates the Quadrants is called a Dead Zone, in which little to no rare ores can be found. More explanation can be found below.
