What Are the Most Valuable Resources to Mine?

Silver, Gold, and Plasteel tend to be the 3 best things to mine up. Silver for raw value, Gold for if you have the Royalty dlc and want to rapidly make lv6 psycasters, and Plasteel/Gold for making Power Armor.

It’s only around 4300 gold to go from 0 to 62 honor, then you’ll get another 3 honor as a gift from the ceremony, taking a colonist from no rank to Count/ess and giving them lv6 psycasts and full access to imperial permits.

So once you can start long range mining you can rapidly just turn all of your colonists into lv6 psycasters using the tax collector.

Cataphract armor + helmets also require uranium, but in a significantly smaller quantity than gold and plasteel so you will likely never have to mine up any uranium yourself.

Long range node values are around:

Plasteel – 5400 market value (*0.6 = 3240 base trade value)
Gold – 4800 market value (*0.6 = 2880 base trade value)
Silver – 3200 market value (always 3200 trade value)
