Summary[]

Platinum (Pt) is a resource and one of the exotic elements.

Platinum is the most expensive single element.

Game description[]

Extremely valuable interstellar trading mineral, typically mined from asteroids. Occasionally found in underground planetary deposits.

Universally prized for its hardiness and versatility.

Source[]

Can be bought from some Galactic Trade Terminals or Ship Traders.
Can be mined from crystalline/amorphous asteroids.
As a secondary element in some minerals in caves.
By destroying freighter cargo

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

Geodesite ×1 → Platinum ×250 ("Extreme Alloy Separation", 1.2 sec./unit output)
Iridesite ×1 → Platinum ×250 ("Extreme Alloy Separation", 1.2 sec./unit output)
Silver ×1 + Gold ×1 → Platinum ×1 ("Transmutation", 0.24 sec./unit output)
Ferrite Dust ×1 + Oxygen ×1 + Chromatic Metal ×250 → Platinum ×10 ("Chromatic Alchemy", 4.8 sec./unit output)
