Summary[ | ]

Ferrite Dust (Fe) is a resource and one of the metal elements. It is obtainable on the surface of planets, from various rocks.

Game description[ | ]

An abundant mineral element, found in rock formations and other areas of geological interest. Easily extracted using a Mining Laser.

Typically requires processing in a Refiner before use in construction or technology manufacture.

Source[ | ]

Ferrite Dust can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.LUSH Paraffinium ×1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust ×1  ("Ferrite Dust Extraction", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.COLD Dioxite ×1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust ×1  ("Ferrite Dust Extraction", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.HOT Phosphorus ×1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust ×1  ("Ferrite Dust Extraction", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.DUSTY Pyrite ×1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust ×1  ("Ferrite Dust Extraction", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SPACEGUNK.3 Rusted Metal ×1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust ×2  ("Recycle Waste Materials", 0.64 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.RADIO Uranium ×1  →  SUBSTANCE.LAND.1 Ferrite Dust ×1  ("Ferrite Dust Extraction", 0.36 sec./unit output)

Trivia[ | ]

The real life version of ferrite dust is basically rock dust. Mostly iron with trace minerals of zinc, copper, etc.

Additional Information[ | ]

  • It is possible to also collect ferrite dust by using a Starship weapon. Since a starship weapon has a high power capability normally used for mining asteroids, the player can alternatively mine large source of ferrite dust and other basic secondary raw materials (Di-hydrogen, oxygen, sodium, etc.) on a planet surface by flying low and strafing it with a sufficiently powerful starship weapon. Note the starship weapon is incapable of 'mining' big rocks which require the Advanced Mining Laser. Due to the larger damage capacity of starship weaponry, it is capable of quickly stripping and mining both organic and inorganic material much quicker as compared with using mining laser. In a special case, the Sentinel interceptors perform even better due to their capability to hover in place.
