Iridium Ore
Explosive Powder, a mid-to-late game Crafting resource, has iridium as one of its components. More crucially, it’s used to manufacture Iridium Rods, which are necessary for Terra-forming higher-tier Heating devices. Iridium is also required for Ore Extractors, a useful Building that automates ore collection.
Once you’ve unlocked the Launch Platform and fired the right rocket, you can harvest more Iridium from asteroids that fall onto the planet. With the correct type of Ore Extractor in the right position, you can receive a limitless supply, eliminating the need to rely on the unpredictability of falling rocks from the sky.
