(NEXT)

As a primary (very rare) or secondary element in some minerals in caves.
Can be mined from asteroids.
Can be mined from deposits on Exotic planets
Acquired as loot dropped by pirates.
Can be found in Metal 'Fingers'.
Can be received from Gold Nuggets after they are analysed.
Also available from some Galactic Trade Terminals.

Gold can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

Lemmium x1 → Gold x125 ("Extreme Alloy Separation", 3 sec./unit output)
Mordite x1 + Pugneum x1 → Gold x1 ("Anomaly Synthesis", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Faecium x1 + Residual Goop x1 → Gold x1 ("Alchemical Construction", 0.6 sec./unit output)
