    Hi guys! Right now, I'm juggling ores trying to decide which is 'best.' Can one of you Space Spelunkers or Unholy Plant People post a list of the ores and their effectiveness and durability! Thanks guys! Keep on starbounding!

    By ore effectiveness/durability, are you refering to the fuels effectiveness, the repair rates or the different tiers they are part of? Or maybe the refinery conversion perhaps?

    Well...
    For fuels: First come solarium, then plutonium, uranium and finally coal.


    For repair rates I'm not sure, they tend to be somewhat random. Unless there's a secret feature that make you ability to repair thing with a certain kind of ore to increase after some time. I had to use 7 copper ore to repair my stone pickaxe on my newest character, while 3 were enough to repair entirely my diamond drill. Eh...

    For tiers, well, that's something you could figure out on your own, it's pretty explicit how they work on you metalwork station.

    And for Refining ore in pixels,
    as far as I know, diamonds are teh bestests.


    I hope there was an answer for your question in there, if not, your request might need more specificity?

    its because all picks have 7500 durability where as all drills only have 3000
    drills have only 2 disadvantages over picks, more expensive, and less durable both of which can be ignored eventually

    Well, you're welcome.

    I still don't get the question though, but whatever. :rofl:

    I keep using gold ore to repair stuff, simply because gold ore is useless in the X Sector, or well, I have too much of it.
