Hey guys!

The next tier (blue) will bring a new exotic and fictional mineral. But im bad with names. Id love to hear some suggestions ^_^ This mineral will be used to create super-alloys and some binding catalysts.

Haha yes this would also match the Angel's ore names.
Like Equilibrium.

Maybe it´s a language barrier, but im not getting all the irony here. o-o

[Nexela]

Nexelamonium - The only ore you will ever need!

wouldn't that be pY-Angelite?

[aklesey1]

You will allow to bring the particle of imagination in ur dispute?
I will try to think up the name which isn't connected with a name of the participant of our forum just I want to show originality and the imagination

Name for the new raw ore - Fomplexeei sounds beautifully and it is invented absolutely randomly

[Northgate]

How about: Nyxirite

[aklesey1]

Nexela had some difficult for a pronunciation and difficult creations of a derivative name name, what i can do pyanodon?

I can think up derivative name from your name if u want what u think? - pyanweeteei

Don't offend on me guys, it is difficult to think out names, especially the language barrier can prevent

[Exasperation]

You could be super-realistic about it and spell it Nexelanum half the time and Nexelanium the other half.

Aluminum - The ore is mined from rocks that have been exposed to weathering in a tropical environment, bauxite. The main ore minerals in bauxite are gibbsite, bohmeite, and diaspore.

Antimony - The primary ore of antimony is it's sulfide, stibnite.

Arsenic - Recovered from other metal processing streams (primarily from the sulfosalts such as tennantite etc.). Arsenopyrite is the most common arsenic mineral. The relatively low demand for arsenic as compared to the amount of arsenic mined that is associated with other metals means it can be supplied from the waste streams of other ore processing.

Barium - The chief source of barium is barite with minor production of witherite.

Beryllium - The major ore mineral for beryllium in the U.S. is bertrandite while worldwide the major source is from pegmatites that contain beryl.

Bismuth - Primarily a byproduct of lead processing. Also found in a number of minerals such as bismuthinite and as a constituent in various sulfosalts.

Boron - Chief source is playa lake deposits of borax, colemanite, kernite, ulexite.

Bromine - Chief sources are brines from wells and Dead Sea.

Cadmium - Unlike many other commodities cadmium is produced as a byproduct of zinc (sphalerite) mining.

Cesium - The major ore mineral is pollucite, a pegmatite mineral. Production and use of this metal is extremely small (a few thousand kilograms per year).

Chlorine - Produced from the mineral halite (rock salt).

Chromium - The chief source is the mineral chromite which is found in large layered intrusives and serpentine bodies.

Cobalt - The primary minerals for cobalt is cobaltite. Some cobalt is also produced from weathered tropical orebodies.

Columbium (see Niobium)

Copper - Most copper ore bodies are mined from minerals created by weathering of the primary copper ore mineral chalcopyrite. Minerals in the enriched zone include chalcocite, bornite, djurleite. Minerals in the oxidized zones include malachite, azurite, chyrsocolla, cuprite, tenorite, native copper and brochantite.

Gallium - A byproduct of zinc and alumina processing. Some primary "ore" may contain up to 200 ppm. Ga.

Germanium - A byproduct of zinc ore processing. Also a deposit in China is associated with coal.

Gold - The primary mineral of gold is the native metal and electrum (a gold-silver alloy). Some tellurides are also important ore minerals such as calaverite, sylvanite, and petzite.

Hafnium - Primary ore mineral is zircon.

Indium - Primarily is a byproduct of zinc processing.

Iodine - Initial production was from seaweed. Iodine is extracted from natural gas field brines (up to 1200 ppm iodine in the brines).

Iron - Two major minerals in the production of iron are it's oxides, hematite and magnetite. These are found in preCambrian iron formations. Historically there was also production from goethite and siderite. The iron sulfides (pyrite and pyrrhotite) were not used as iron sources due to the difficulty of removing sulfur from the metals and the brittleness this sulfur caused in the metal.

Lead - The primary ore mineral for lead is it's sulfide - galena. Some minor production from the past has come from secondary lead minerals - cerussite and anglesite.

Lithium - The former primary ore minerals were pegmatite deposits of spodumene, lepidolite, and petalite, amblygonite. Currently the major U. S. production is from lithium carbonate brines.

Magnesium - Although magnesium is found in many minerals, only dolomite, magnesite, brucite, carnallite, and olivine are of commercial importance. Magnesium and other magnesium compounds are also produced from seawater, well and lake brines and bitterns.

Manganese - The primary ores are oxides/hydroxides of manganese which include minerals such as hausmannite, pyrolusite, braunite, manganite, etc. and the carbonate, rhodochrosite. A large potential source is the deep sea manganese nodules.

Mercury - The main ore is the sulfide, cinnabar.

Molybdenum - The primary ore mineral is molybdenite.

Nickel - The primary nickel ores are pentlandite, nickel bearing pyrrhotite and a weathering product, garnierite (a mixture of népouite, pecoraite and willemseite).

Niobium (Columbium) - The primary ore mineral is pyrochlore with minor columbite and tantalite-columbite.

Phosphorus - Main ore minerals are in the apatite group of minerals (hydroxylapatite, fluorapatite, chlorapatite).

Platinum group (Platinum, Osmium, Rhodium, Ruthenium, Palladium) - The primary ores are the native elements or alloys of the various elements or arsenides such as sperrylite. They tend to occur in layered intrusives associated with chromite deposits.

Potassium (potash) - The primary ore minerals are sylvite (primarily), brines, and langbeinite.

Rare Earth elements (cerium, dysprosium, erbium, europium, gadolinium, holmium, lanthanium, lutetium, neodymium, praseodymium, samarium, scandium, terbium, thulium, ytterbium, yttrium) The major ore minerals containing rare earth elements are bastnasite, monazite, and loparite and the lateritic ion-adsorption clays. Major U.S. production of bastnesite is from Mountain Pass, California.

Rhenium - Produced as a byproduct of molybdenite.

Rubidium - Substitutes for potassium in lepidolite and pollucite. Production is small (a few thousand kilograms per year).

Scandium (see Rare Earth)

Selenium - Recovered from copper processing.

Silicon - The primary source is quartz.

Silver - Silver production has been from the sulfide argentite/acanthite, native silver, sulfosalts such as pyrargyrite and proustite, chloride as cerargyrite. It is also found in small amounts in some tetrahedrites.

Sodium - Principle resources are halite (rock salt) or soda ash (see below).

Strontium - Main ore mineral is celestite, with minor production of strontianite.

Sulfur - Major production is from desulferizing natural gas and petroleum. Sulfuric acid is produced from the flue gases of metal smelters. Historically, sulfur was produced from native sulfur and pyrite.

Why not go for realism and use something from real life?

Heyo!

Several reasons...a lot of mods are poping out every week here with explore and add some of these and soon they will be all used. Chromium was already a cross mod thing and this mod is on beta yet. Another reason is more than half of these minerals have NO practical uses or they are very very specific uses that makes no sense in the game...for example mercury...for what we would use that? build thermometers? for what?

Another reason is freedom, with a fantasy resource i can give it the uses i want and turn the mod more balanced and compatible, some industrial process are really hard or boring and we want have fun with a game. That´s why some mods that complicate TOO much turns the game into a burden instead of a fun experience. When you find the middle term of complexity and fun, we have great mods (such bobs or angels for example). Other thing..we are in an alien planet...ok, was an accident i think...but the discover of this valuable resource would turn the experience into a more focused thing, one of the reasons we explore space is to find new resources and/or reserves of them to satisfy our needs. Maybe a good reason to explore that planet could be exploration of this resource.

I noticed the extraction, refining and use of some resource in this game should be a constant thing. We dont want to build a production chain to grab some final resources and them use to build one or two things. A lot of resources there is constantly used to keep productions, so that new fantasy resource will be too.

Sorry my english.

Yeah exactly that, if you go with real life counterparts there will be always someone complaining about that it is not done right ^^
