Osmium by planet
331 Osmium pins in all, on 5 of the 5 planets. Each link opens that planet's map with only this layer switched on.

Which part of each planet
The game files give coordinates but no biome or area names for ore, so I cut each planet's map picture into nine equal parts (north-west to south-east, north at the top) and counted the pins in each. The parts are my grid, not names from the game. The last column is the middle of the pins in a planet's busiest part, in the world units the map popups show.
The picture is lopsided: Toxicity's busiest part (west) holds 79 of its 166 pins, and Humble's busiest part (east) holds 36 of 100.
| Planet | Part | Pins | Middle of the busiest part |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toxicity | west | 79 | x -1,228, z -224 |
| Toxicity | centre | 49 | |
| Toxicity | north | 38 | |
| Humble | east | 36 | x 1,894, z 73 |
| Humble | north | 34 | |
| Humble | north-east | 30 | |
| Aqualis | south-east | 16 | x 1,928, z -2,350 |
| Aqualis | south | 12 | |
| Selenea | north | 21 | x 379, z 2,000 |
| Prime | centre | 7 | x 1,034, z -1,094 |
| Prime | south | 7 | |
| Prime | west | 2 |
How to get Osmium
Every Osmium pin in the files reads "Mining speed x1.0", the same as every other ore pin, so no pin is slower or faster to mine than another. Go to a pin and mine it. None of the pins carries a spawn chance, so I treat all 331 as fixed places.
The ore extractor is the other way in: the game's text for the T2 Ore Extractor reads "Extracts rarer ores from the ground", and the T1 reads "Extracts ores from the ground depending on where it's placed". The files do not list which ore each tier gives; the ore extractor guide has what they do state.
The map also has a separate Veins layer with 7 "Osmium vein" pins (Prime 4, Humble 1, Toxicity 2): Osmium vein layer. The files do not say how a vein differs from an ore pin, so I keep the two apart.
Other ways to get Osmium
Osmium also comes packed as the Osmium Rod: 9 Osmium, crafted at Station T3 (unlock stored as 36,000,000,000 Terraformation).
What Osmium is used for
26 recipes in the files list Osmium as an ingredient: 15 items and 11 buildings. The first ones are below; the rest are folded. Amounts are per craft as the files store them. Add any of them to the crafting calculator to see how much ore a build takes.

Common mistakes
- Stopping at one planet. Osmium is on all five, so a planet you are already on may have a nearer pin.
- Trusting a part name from a video. My nine parts are a grid over the map picture, not the game's own areas; use the map pins, which are exact.
- Expecting new planets. These files are build 2.008 and the Skeo planet is not in them, so Osmium pins there are missing.
