Best Way To Build a Space Station?

[Mr. Briney]

So, the space station parts need a metric crap tonne of metal, specifically silver, gold, and TITANIUM. Just the fifty titanium I needed to finish the quest to start the station used all I had. Is there a way to get it faster than mining?

You can find it in things like crates and chests. Sometimes, most of the ore I would get on a planet would be found simply looting chests and crates found in the villages, dungeons, and even just underground.

Besides that, just look out for titanium on planets.

Gold, copper and silver are ez on asteroids fields,.and titanium try deep in the planets, upgrade ur MM and if u has late game items try to make the ore scan, very usefull.

Well, easy way to mass mine is to break out your mech and use double beam drills

Can confirm, reaps a whole lotta stuff in one battery life as beam drill is actually faster than fully upgraded MM in terms of block dmg

Asteroid fields will give you a lot of gold and silver and copper. If you have a lot of money or a good, quick way of making a lot of money, you can buy the resources from ursa miner. It's quicker but really expensive.

Besides just giving you tips on finding Titanium, there are a couple mods in the workshop that are like "50% cheaper space station upgrades" or 90% cheaper, so you could always get those.

The absolute fastest way I've found is to farm pixels and buy them from the Ursa Miner. Even though its ridiculously expensive, I found a ridiculously fast way to farm pixels. Head to an ice planet or ice biome, where theres lots and lots of ice blocks. You'll also need to find an ice chair blueprint, although other furniture can work as well (just not as efficiently). Mine however you can mine the fastest (maxxed out Matter Manipulator, or two drill arms on a mech) and collect ice. If you make ice chairs and sell them, it basically makes every single ice block worth 14.5 pixels, and they are mined as fast as dirt.

An hour can get you enough pixels to afford a Large Core.

Other form to get pixels, mine asteroids fields for Cooper, Silver and Gold then use Refinery and get the pixels.

Since you also need those three for Space Stations, its better to mine and keep those, then harvest ice for pixels to buy the Titanium. Converting those ores into Titanium is terrible. I tried. :)

Sounds like a good way to go @AvatarOfWar. Thanks!
