Where to get which resources

Resources by Source

Asteroid	Image	Resources
All asteroids		Common: Iron, Aluminum, Tritium, Molybdenum Uncommon: Vanadium Rare: Titanium, Platinum Very rare: Gold, Silver
Dilithium asteroid		Common: Dilithium
Strontium asteroid		Common: Strontium
Gemstone asteroid		Common: Gemstones Uncommon: Diamonds
Thorium asteroid		Beware, looks like thallium. Common: Thorium
Thallium asteroid		Beware, looks like thorium. Common: Thallium
Plutonium asteroid		Common: Plutonium
Gas asteroid		Common: Hydrogen Uncommon: Deuterium rare: Helium-3
Nitrogen asteroid		Common: Nitrogen

Gas clouds contain only one resource, which is what you'd expect.
