• Tin Ore: Found between Y=20 and Y=120. Used primarily for Bronze and basic machine components.
• Lead Ore: Found between Y=-60 and Y=40. Often found alongside Silver. Used for radiation shielding and Enderium.
• Silver Ore: Found between Y=-60 and Y=40. Used for high-conductivity alloys like Signalum.
• Nickel Ore: Found between Y=-40 and Y=120. Used for Invar and Constantan.

Mineral Resources

• Sulfur: Found near lava pools or as a byproduct of processing other ores. Used in explosives and Pyrotheum.
