Platinum Mineral Deposits?

[Retr0]

Do platinum mineral deposits exist on any kind of world detectable with the survey hotspot scanner?

[tkwoods]

Not sure, I've only ever found platinum in asteroids.

There are rare planetary deposits... or at least there were. I can't say I recall seeing one since I started playing again recently.

yes but you can make platinum in a refinery using gold and silver. you have to have a medium refiner though. you can use a large but at least a medium, the bug was fixed.

if they exist I haven't found one, not that you can use the new powered extractor on.

I used to have a platnium mine on one of those "exotic" worlds with one odd species living on them... It was an older starter character I used to have... They usually have gold and silver as their main minerals to mine but they used to have platinum sometimes too... I haven't seen any since the last "update"...

I just found one tonight, might be my first. Indium and gold were two of the primary resources, and caves had cobalt stalagmites and stalactites that had gold and silver as secondary minerals. It was a "hydro garden" type, and the one species was a wisp-like energy creature, and the landscape was dotted with "terrariums".

i also didnt see 1 yet but i mine gold and silver for it, or mine it in space

Gold & Silver aye?
Well now I know what to do with all of the extra Herox, Lemmium & Magno-Gold. That stuff just seems to pile up after a while. Now I'll convert it to Nanites instead of selling it.

plated planets, rare, but they exist. asteroids really ar your best mining or heavy commitment to refining
