Ore and crafting materials
Titanium and Tungsten
Tungsten and titanium bars unlock equipment and crafting options at later progression stages.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Titanium and Tungsten
Tungsten is found on Moderate- and Risky-threat planets; titanium is found on Risky- and Dangerous-threat planets.
Before you go
- Access to planets of the relevant threat level.
- Armor, healing items, and hazard protection suited to the selected world.
- A mining tool and access to a Furnace; an Industrial or Atomic Furnace is needed for titanium bars.
Farming steps
- Check the navigation console for a world whose threat level matches the ore you need: Moderate or Risky for tungsten, Risky or Dangerous for titanium.
- Confirm your gear is suitable for that planet before beaming down; higher-tier enemies deal more damage.
- Enter a cave or mine a safe route underground, watching for colored ore veins in the surrounding rock.
- Mine tungsten and titanium separately, prioritizing the material tied to the recipe or upgrade you are pursuing.
- Return to the ship when inventory or supplies become limiting, then make another descent only if the target quantity is still short.
- Smelt tungsten at a Furnace; process titanium at an Industrial Furnace or Atomic Furnace into bars.
- Use the bars at the appropriate crafting station and retain any surplus needed for the next planned tier.
- Threat level is a practical filter: early worlds will not provide these later-tier ores just because you dig deeper.
- Choose one ore target per trip when inventory space is limited, so common stone and incidental loot do not crowd it out.
Repeat, collect and use
This is a repeatable mining farm with finite deposits per planet. Visit another matching-threat world when the current caves are depleted or the remaining supply is inconvenient to reach.
Common mistakes
- Looking for titanium on Moderate worlds; move to Risky or Dangerous planets.
- Taking on a higher-threat world without checking armor and healing supplies; prepare before landing.
- Trying to smelt titanium in an unsuitable basic Furnace; use an Industrial or Atomic Furnace.
When to stop or switch
Stop once you have enough bars for the specific gear or station upgrades planned; continue to the next tier when the current material no longer blocks progression.
