 This article is a work-in-progress.
Edits are welcome, however please keep in mind that they may be overwritten or removed if they are not in line with the intention of the article.

Asteroids are highly concentrated deposits of Raw Material found in space orbiting stars. They are harvested with ship-based Salvage Modules.

Types

Asteroids are a vital part of mining, and resource acquisition in Starmade. There are eight types of asteroids, each with different mineral, crystal, and ore composition. They are located in asteroid orbital sectors in solar systems. Orbital sectors will have multiple asteroids at the center of them. If all the asteroids are destroyed, new ones will be generated eventually on a sector reload.

Appearance Mineral Crystal Ore Location Notes
Volcanic Tekt Mattise Jisper Inner belts Also contains Lava.
Icy Dolom Hattel Hylat Outer belts Also contains Ice.
Purple Sugil Sintyr Threns Inner, middle and

outer belts

Also contains Lava.
Blue Larimar Rammet Sertise Outer belts Hard to find due to the extreme

distance from the star.

Mostly in systems with distant belts

and very slanted orbits.

Sandy

(Yellow)

Lukrah Bastyn Fertikeen Inner, middle and

outer belts

Green Varis Nocx Macet Middle and outer

belts

Also contains Sand and Lava.
Sandy

(Orange)

Chabaz Parseen Sapsun Outer belts Also contains Ice.
Sandy (Red) Cinnabar Varat Zercaner Middle and outer

belts

Also contains Lava.

Asteroid Spawning

Asteroids spawn throughout star-systems in a very predictable, and structured manner, making it easy to find resources.
