Planet ore deposits
Ore deposits on planets have been altered. They are much, much larger than in vanilla but have also largely been moved further down into the ground. As a result, it is much more worth to build permanent mining outposts.
Ore depth is determined by their "tier":
Ore distribution
Ore distribution has been altered significantly. The goal is to add a reason to visit all planets, which is achieved by distributing ores over the different planets. The distribution is designed with a start on the earthlike planet in mind, but with the economy update you may be able to make any planet work - or even a space start.

Ore depth is determined by their "tier":
- Tier 1: Iron, Nickel, Silicon - 50-300m
- Tier 2: Cobalt, Magnesium, Silver - 200-800m
- Tier 3: Gold, Platinum, Uranium - 400-1000m
