Sulfur by planet
1,124 Sulfur 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 (east) holds 337 of its 500 pins, and Humble's busiest part (centre) holds 252 of 279.
| Planet | Part | Pins | Middle of the busiest part |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toxicity | east | 337 | x 1,490, z -114 |
| Toxicity | south | 34 | |
| Toxicity | north | 24 | |
| Toxicity | other 6 parts | 105 | |
| Humble | centre | 252 | x 140, z -763 |
| Humble | east | 13 | |
| Humble | north | 9 | |
| Humble | other 1 part | 5 | |
| Aqualis | south-east | 125 | x 2,706, z -2,371 |
| Prime | centre | 54 | x 584, z 1,309 |
| Prime | east | 49 | |
| Prime | south | 14 | |
| Selenea | west | 55 | x -121, z 38 |
| Selenea | south-west | 48 |
How to get Sulfur
Every Sulfur 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 1,124 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 8 "Sulfur vein" pins (Prime 3, Humble 1, Aqualis 1, Toxicity 3): Sulfur vein layer. The files do not say how a vein differs from an ore pin, so I keep the two apart.
What Sulfur is used for
10 recipes in the files list Sulfur as an ingredient: 9 items and 1 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. Sulfur 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 Sulfur pins there are missing.
