Is there anyway to buy pure titanium

[yuevolution]

For god sake, I mined a whole afternoon and still found need a lot of those.
Is there any place to buy?
Did the dev said will improve this by giving us a chem eng tree etc.?
It's just so disgusting to mine so much.

If you add the mining catalyst to a weapon, it dramatically increases the chance of getting rare materials. I'd recommend using a Mining Flak cannon since it mines a node in one shot.

How can I get the catalyst blueprint? Buy or somewhere?

You should find it in the crafting section under catalysts once you've found the blueprint. You will need some materials in order to craft the components for the catalyst.

I think pressing R for a while should pull up the catalyst menu as well as the ones where you can increase rarity of an item, remove level requrement, etc.

It's a green rarity catalyst, so you'll get the blueprint from doing any High-Risk Areas. You have a better chance of getting it from green ones, though.

If you haven't done a HRA yet, you open them by finding signal decoders - a type of item with a system, level, and modifiers listed on it. When you use the item in the matching system, it'll create a challenge area with the modifiers applied (like enemies are faster or release mines on death). The zone ends in a boss fight that drops a lot of loot, including a Catalyst Blueprint matching the rarity of the decoder used. As far as I know, it's the only way to get these blueprints.

Be aware that you can't use a decoder that's 3 or more levels below you. At that point, all you can do is sell them for a decent amount of credits. You may want to prioritize doing them as soon as you can so you don't waste any.
