Gold

Overview

Gold is a rare and valuable resource in Space Engineers. It is essential for crafting advanced technology and components, such as superconductors and gravity generators. As a late-game resource, it plays a critical role in constructing high-tier ships and structures.

Appearance

Gold appears as a bright yellow ore, easily distinguishable due to its vivid color. The ore is found in deposits both in space and on planetary surfaces.

Where to Find Gold

Asteroids: Gold is often located within asteroids, particularly in outer space regions. Asteroid fields are prime locations for mining operations.

Planetary Surfaces: Gold deposits can be found deep beneath the surface of planets, requiring more advanced mining setups to extract. They are more scattered on Earth-like planets.

Moons: Gold can also be found on moons, though in smaller quantities and more dispersed compared to asteroids.

Uses

Gold is primarily used for crafting advanced components:

• Superconductors
• Gravity Generator Components
• Ion Thruster Components
• Jump Drives

It is vital for energy transmission, space travel, and creating artificial gravity in ships and stations.
