Pyrite is a resource.

Summary[ | ]

Pyrite (Py) is a resource and one of the localised earth elements. It is used as fuel for the starship's Pulse Engine.

Game description[ | ]

Local mineral extract, typically found in large deposits or extracted from common materials after inspection with an Analysis Visor.

Typically found on planets with a desert environment.

Source[ | ]

As a secondary element in some minerals or in Resource Deposits or Hotspots on planets with Barren biomes.
Also available from some Galactic Trade Terminals.

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

Gold ×1 → Pyrite ×1 ("Metal Restructuring", 0.24 sec./unit output)
Gold ×1 + Oxygen ×1 → Pyrite ×2 ("Mineral Alchemy", 0.36 sec./unit output)
Cactus Flesh ×2 + Salt ×1 → Pyrite ×1 ("Floral Titration", 0.36 sec./unit output)
Uranium ×2 + Ferrite Dust ×1 → Pyrite ×1 ("Environmental Element Transfer", 0.36 sec./unit output)
Uranium ×2 + Pure Ferrite ×1 → Pyrite ×1 ("Environmental Element Transfer", 0.36 sec./unit output)

Cooking[]

Pyrite is not used as an ingredient for cooking using a Nutrient Processor.

Trivia[ | ]

Pyrite (FeS2, name derived from the Greek word pyrites, meaning "of fire") is an iron-sulfide, commonly mistaken for gold and thus nicknamed 'fool's gold'. In real life, Pyrite's closest use as fuel was previously a source of ignition in early firearms during the 16th-17th century but is also now commonly more used as a cathode material in Energizer's lithium batteries.
