TIP: If you're Struggling to find Iridium or Platinum, Mark the "Derelict Debris" (purple) and visit from time to time.

Like Asteroid fields, the debris field around these PoIs will respawn with time, and there's a high chance of getting Iridium or Platinum from them, as well as some rarer things, occasionally. Its not much, but visiting occasionally is a nice boost when you're struggling to find or afford them at the start.

As another resource tip - spent one lvl on getting every crew to 1 Astro and get a resource spotters perk (15% more expected value of resource drops). I guess it's what gets me ~300 aluminum per asteroid run, plus various amounts of other resources.

Plus the debree of same containers as in the prologue - these ones drop stuff for plasma, stuff for reactors, and stuff for new bridge.

Yup!

as @Osamaru indicates, the debris fields all respawn (except perhaps some of the non-procedural items e.g. regenerating debris at the full-chariot Derelict Debris, shielded cargo near the Generation Wreck, etc..

You can probably arrange a tour of all the good areas like you would touring your properties in a certain simulation of Miami, FL which I won't name. Visit, exhaust, next ->
etc.

Great tips, thx.

You should def visit debris and asteroid fields multiple times cause they all have a chance to drop certain artifacts........
