So far I am voting for Lithium as the most pain in the ass resource to find. I found a couple nice deposits on Novus and then nothing since. Finding none on Vesania either. Ironic given how plentiful Lithium is in reality.

It took me HOURS of searching to find Lithium on Novus in my save file, on my friends that we are co-oping on though, there was a MASSIVE seam (6+ Med Storage worth) on the surface, visible from the LZ.

Random terrain generation is both a blessing and a curse. =x

Lithium looks like cut up cables

Lithium is the secondary resource on Novus. I find that if you want to find the secondary resource consistently, you have to dig DEEP. I'm talking almost to the core deep. Then it'll be all over the place.

If you go to the exotic planet instead of the moon it's pretty much everywhere and you don't have to find very deep caves to get lots of it. Now, if you want titanium on the exotic planet, it's time for some serious digging again.

I'm talking I'll build a fairly steep ramp going down and I can slide on it at max speed for like 30 seconds+ before I get deep enough for the titanium. then it is everywhere.

It's easier to get that deep into novus just because, being a moon, it has a much smaller diameter. The core is much closer to the surface.

Deeper. Go deeper.

also, there is a visual cue on all resources in the form of little sparkly bits, like they have glitter on them or something.... Only resources do that, plants do not... So you can sorta tell if you are looking at a resource or not, even if you don't know what it looks like.

not to mention the icon you see when you mouse over it or over the ground where there is some...

Exotic planets have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of lithium, I made 3 large platform B with large storages and full medium storages full with small batteries (total 48 small batteries per platform), and then I even brought 2 medium storages of batteries to the arid planet, exotic is a very great source of Lithium.
Now, the game really pushes you into going to other planets and gathering new stuff and then transporting resources between planets and I think this is a very good thing; I'm on my 3rd planet (terran -> exotic -> arid), I'm now trying to make landing platforms, a large shuttle and a hydrazine production station somewhere so that I can travel planets and move stuff around. It's going to be fun.
There is a planet where you can find Iron and Lithium (from the description, seems a good place to gather those extra large platforms to fill with batteries, solars and wind turbines.

The exotic world that has it as a primary resource was a good spot to look. I found a vein of it in a cave just below the surface, ended up getting like 16 lithium from it. Found another on the surface that I haven't even mined yet.

Also, resources (and some solid rocks) will render in first so when travelling around (above ground) you can see resources sometimes before the terrain renders in so you have a target. Glitch abuse? Maybe.

Lithium is located on Vesania and Novus, if anything, check the other planet for it
