Ore (Gold)

Obtaining

Ore (Gold) is an ore that can be mined throughout the surface and underground of a planet or an asteroid using a Mining Drill or Pickaxe. Gold ore can also be obtained by processing dirty ore from a Deep Miner using a Centrifuge or Combustion Centrifuge.

Processing

Gold ore can be turned into a gold ingot by smelting it in an Arc Furnace, Furnace, or Advanced Furnace. Gold is also an ingredient of Electrum and Inconel.

Smelting in an Arc Furnace requires 2000 Energy. Using a Furnace or Advanced Furnace requires the following conditions:

Pressure (Pa)Temperature (K)Temperature (°C)
Min100 kPa600 K327 °C
Max100 MPa100 kK99.7 k°C

Smelting one gold ore produces the following gases:
