Platinum Ore is a very rare, naturally occurring ore. Platinum ore only exists in deep strata of moons (Moon, Europa, Titan) and asteroids and is quite difficult to find.
Description
The ore vein is light gray, very similar in texture to Silver Ore, with whitish streaks, and barely visible against gray asteroids in space from a distance.
Usage
The Platinum ingots made from this ore are essential to make Ion Thruster Components, elite tools, elite handheld weapons, and Rockets.
Yield
Refine Platinum Ore in a Refinery. Without Upgrade Modules installed, you produce Platinum Ingots at a 0.48% ratio, which is to say, 1000 kg of ore will yield 4.8 kg of Platinum Ingots. 1 kg of Platinum Ingots take up 0.05 L of volume.
Platinum Ore is among the slowest ores to smelt, with one refinery producing 5 kg of ingots in an hour of game time, without speed or Yield Modules included, at "realistic" refinery speed.
