Materials

updated for 0.45

Materials are resources you get from miners which include both Minerals and Isotopes.

You can sell them for money at the sell center, to craft Blueprints (which will give you upgrades for your Drill, storage, and for many other upgrades),or to trade with at the Trading Post.

Oil, Building Materials, and Nuclear Energy are also resources but not Materials as they are not received from miners.

Important Note: Only the first of each isotope actually affects your storage.

Upon selling materials with Midas Touch buff, there is a 50% chance for them to be sold at 2x price, therefore it is recommended to save the materials with the expectation that Midas Touch will come along soon. If your capacity is full and you have a material that you want to keep while selling all of the other materials, then you could set the lock for that material to a number higher than the current amount held, thus selling all other materials but not selling the one you want to keep.

Suppose that one mineral is required in very huge amount to craft/build an item, and that amount is far more than your maximum capacity. You can receive the needed amount of materials by trading, caves, mineral piles from battles, scientist excavations or from the core. When you reach maximum capacity, your miners will stop mining until you sell/reduce enough materials to go below your storage capacity.

Historical Notes

• Diamond was the rarest mineral until patch V0.25.

Notice: Titanium's price is not a typo. It's very rare at the beginning.

Moon Isotopes

Clearly don't sell any of these, unless you have a massive surplus of Helium1 as you won't actually need that much of it.

Moon isotopes

Moon Isotopes	Value	Found below depth	Note
Nitrogen 1	$50,000,000	1067(W2-35)
Nitrogen 2	$150,000,000	1067(W2-35)
Nitrogen 3	$300,000,000	1067(W2-35)
Helium 1	$500,000,000	1132(W2-100)	There are just 31 levels which produce He-3 (updated on v0.27). They are 1133, 1148, 1156, 1181, 1182, 1216, 1217, 1268, 1301, 1316, 1332, 1354, 1371, 1390, 1414, 1434, 1452, 1477, 1506, 1542, 1562, 1587, 1611, 1630, 1642, 1672, 1691, 1705, 1735, 1762, and 1782 (so, every 20 to 30 levels). These are the in-code levels, true game levels are phased by 2, but you get the gist. From them, only 4 of them have the 0.01 rarity usually associated with the level-3 Earth isotopes (U-3, Pu-3 and Po-3). The rest are at 0.001 rarity. So yes, at 1432 your He-3 production increases 66% (previous is 0.015 accumulated, after this it's 0.025), and at 1533 it reaches 0.055 which is 82% of the max production 0.067 at 1782, end of the Moon. Compare with max. production of U-3 (0.87), Pu-3 (0.79), Po-3 (0.89). He-3 production is roughly 7.5% of each of those, previously-considered-rare isotopes.
