Ores

Elements, Ores, Resources, You Get The Idea.
Ores are simply just that in the game. Ores are minable, and can be found in space as asteroids or on the mining planet. The mining planet has at least one of each ore.

Iron
Iron is a Transition Metal on the periodic table and is one of the most important resources for ships, with the exception of Vortexian warships. Iron is commonly found in space, and is more common in space than on Mining Planet.

Carbon
Carbon is the building block of life and one of the most important construction materials. Carbon can be used for literally anything, and can be converted into any unrefined material (using vortexian technology). Carbon is also the building block of most creatures, including O'ians/O'ianians (Pigs), Humans, many plants, and Robloxians. Matt did not get his one carbon.

Diamond
Diamond may be popular, but its also extremely powerful and useful. Well, not EXTEMELY useful, but can be used. Diamond is one of the sharpest resources to exist, with only diamonds, lasers and few other things being able to cut it. The diamond is Matt's one carbon. Diamonds form when carbon is put under extreme pressure. So yes, diamond = better carbon.

Neon
Perhaps one of the most interesting elements is Neon. Used for the same purposes as black hole matter, it can light up things, but not like a night light. Meaning, it doesn't light up it's surroundings, just the element itself. Other than cool lights, glow sticks and spectacular lightshows, its pretty useless.

Magnesium
Magnesium is one of the most magnetic things in the universe, with space oddities themselves being higher, with the magnetar on top. Magnesium isn't the most important element, but it can be useful in some situations. its also a nutrient?

Ruby
Ruby is similar to diamond in many ways but is not very useful. Its good for profit and maybe decoration but what else, really? Now to the normal things; ruby is a pink to blood-red colored gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum (aluminum oxide).

Rhodium
Rhodium is a rare but very valuable resource. Rhodium can be found on almost any planet. Rhodium is also a transition metal, just like Iron.

Oxygen
Oxygen is one of the most well known elements out there, and can be found literally anywhere. You can find it in large stars, frozen as ice on the mining planet, or even in a nebula or just as space dust. Oxygen is abundant on many terrestrial planets as well. Oxygen is also an important ingredient for water. Due to it's abundance, oxygen is very cheep. Oxygen can also be used for a cryogenic chamber.

Helium
Helium is one of the most abundant elements in the universe. Helium can be used for numerous things, from balloons, to transportation, or just making your voice sound squeaky. Helium is also commonly found in gas giant planets and stars. Helium-2 can be used as fuel.

Hydrogen
Ah, yes. The infamous hydrogen. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and the building blocks of stars and some planets. Hydrogen is extremely flammable. Hydrogen can also be used to make water. However, if you add some oxygen and fire to a gas giant, you can make it EXPLODE and turn into water! (Yes, this means that hydrogen + oxygen + fire = weapon). Hydrogen can also be used in bombs, such as the well-known hydrogen bomb, or H-Bomb for short. You can also terraform planet Venus with hydrogen, and also the planet Ragnorok. Hydrogen is an extremely important element.

Black Ice
Black Ice Ore, not to be confused with black ice, is frozen water mixed with some carbon to give it a black hue. Its not as slippery as the weather phenomenon black ice, but it can be much warmer without melting. Due to the combination of carbon and water, its been given its own element on the periodic table.

Gold
Gold is a very popular resource but isnt very strong. Its actually about as strong as leather and rubber. Lol weak gold. Gold can be a construction material, but its not exactly recommended. However, it is rather valuable.

O'ian/O'ianian (Pig) Ore
O'ian ore is a rubber-like gem that was first discovered by the O'ians. Its very elastic but extremely durable. Unlike rubber, its really hard to break, and plus it looks nice. Do not get it confused with emerald though. This is mostly found near O'ian, but can be found on the mining planet and rarely on other planets.

Obsidian
Obsidian is a rare igneous rock, that can be found commonly throughout the universe. Obsidian is, believe it or not, a type of glass, despite it being extremely resistant. Obsidian can be found on volcanic islands on Planet Vortex, or even on Ragnorok.

Methane
Methane is a flammable gas that is rather common in the universe. Methane gas is found in gas giants and the atmospheres of terrestrial planets. Methane can also be found within many forms of complex life. Methane can also be found on Saturn's moon Titan as well as the planet Octal..octi.. (I cannot type it out). Methane can also be used as fuel...if used properly of course. Methane is also a greenhouse gas.

Tornadagen
Tornadagen, like Oxygen, is an important element. Tornadagen is one of the original gasses that Vortexians breath and is commonly found in atmospheres of planets. Tornadagen is also a gas that is less stable, which means thats severe weather can develop in it more likely than in Oxygen and Nitrogen.

BLACK
Black is one of the most unique, mysterious, and unexpectedly useful substances in the universe. Or should I say multiverse? Outside the border of the universes, there is a BLACK universe somewhere after that. It is filled with nothing but BLACK, some weird star-like things and is the birthplace of stellar exnons. BLACK can also be used as a weapon of mass destruction. This is seen with the 133 weapons, including 133-a, 133-b, 133-c, and any others. 133-b weapons can destroy literally all of existance, and very few 133-b weapons exist. Not just that, but the melting point isnt exactly well known for BLACK. BLACK is a very unique and fascinating substance. However, despite all of these wonders, this can be very, very dangerous. One vortexian ship that went into the BLACK universe fired it's guns, only for the black matter to surround the lasers that were fired, and when the lasers hit something...the entire universe that was hit was destroyed, along with most of the crew, if not all of the crew of said starship. This paragraph for this resource is too long. BLACK can also be used for engines.

Copper
Copper is similar to iron in some ways. Copper is a transition metal on the periodic table. There is not much else to say about copper, except that it can be used for nonstick frying pans. Copper is the element police.

Anti-Matter
Anti-matter is a very unique substance. Anti-matter can be anything on the normal periodic table, but with an opposite charge. Yes, a negative charge. This means, when a normal atom comes into contact with an anti-matter atom, they explode and destroy each other. However, anti-matter can be refined and become an important material (other than being used to understand physics better) it can be used for shields.

Unknown Matter
The most strange substance in existence. Nobody really knows much about it because it keeps exploding in everybody's faces. No joke. Unlike anti-matter, it explodes randomly, so until the cause is found, this matter is best to be avoided.

Titanium
Titanium is an important resource for many things, including construction. Titanium can be found pretty much anywhere. It was also pretty popular back in the generations 2 and 1. Titanium can be used to make some basic things.

Tornamond
Tornamond is a transition metal, and is frequently used in some starships. Tornamond has been used for old starships, but is used less in new ones. You can also use it for bases. And if you want, I guess you can built tools out of it.

Nova Matter
Nova matter is a plasma that is found near almost any star. Nova matter usually comes from stars, and is a mix of hydrogen, helium, molten rock materials and any other materials that come from stars. There is a rumor that says that nova matter comes from stars that will die in the next 100 years, but this has been proven false. It usually forms when an asteroid collides with a star. Long story short, the star refines some parts of itself and the asteroid, and ejects it, forming Nova Matter.

Darkmetal
Darkmetal is a Lathinadide metal that is commonly used by Vortexians. You can commonly see this metal for guns that the Vortexia Galactic Navy use. Now if you really wanted to you could use this for tools but do NOT make the handle out of it... and for a real good reason: this stuff is dangerous. Darkmetal is extremely dangerous, and that is why it is used for weapons. If you touch darkmetal (unless your a vortexian, then you would just get a cut), you would start turning to ash. So... just don't do it. Seriously. DON'T.

Supersteel
Supersteel is metalloid that was the strongest known material (until terretium came along, of course!). This material is commonly used in modern VGN. It is actually the primary material that is used for modern starships, this is why the VGN is so strong. You can't even cut this material with a diamond. Try it anyway. It is one of the only materials that cannot be found at the mining planet.

Super Ore
Super Ore is an igneous rock that contains almost everything in the universe. These special rocks form during the explosions of neutron stars, gas giant planets, planets with life, black holes, and hypergiant stars. In nebulae, these materials can "rain" inside of the nebula that they form in, and they rain onto almost anything inside said nebula. So the next time your in a nebula, watch out for super ore thats floating randomly. HOWEVER, remember that this only forms in nebulae that come from hypernovas and kilonovas. Super ore also does not contain unknown matter for whatever reason. They also contain refined anti-matter...somehow.

Terretium
Terretium is the most recently discovered material, and is only formed in the most extreme conditions of planet Windsir. Windsir, being insanely massive and huge, puts so much pressure onto it's insides that rocks, metals, and gasses are crushed to the point they merge into this substance, which is extremely durable. This substance is even stronger than even supersteel! Somehow, the Aliens kept this stuff a secret from Vortexians for a while. How much you wanna bet a single block of this can survive a hypernova?
