Game files, build 2.008

Super Alloy has 989 pins in the game files, on 4 planets. Humble has the most (368, 37 %). Next is Toxicity with 277.

The map opens on Humble, where most of the pins are (368). Other planets with Super Alloy: Toxicity (277), Prime (242), Aqualis (102).

Super Alloy by planet

989 Super Alloy pins in all, on 4 of the 5 planets. Selenea has none. 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: Humble's busiest part (north) holds 139 of its 368 pins, and Toxicity's busiest part (north) holds 127 of 277.

How to get Super Alloy

Every Super Alloy 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. 12 of the 989 pins are marked as spawn points instead: 12 on Humble read "spawns here with 60 % chance". I read that as a pin which may be empty in a given save, so count on the others first.

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 3 "Super Alloy vein" pins (Prime 1, Humble 1, Toxicity 1): Super Alloy 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 Super Alloy

Super Alloy is the one ore on this list you can also craft. The recipe is 1 Cobalt, 1 Iron, 1 Magnesium, 1 Silicon, 1 Titanium, 1 Aluminum at Station T3. If the six metals are easier to reach than a Super Alloy pin, that is the other way in.

It also packs into the Super Alloy Rod: 8 Super Alloy, 1 Aluminum. The map has 23 loose rods (Aqualis 16, Humble 6, Toxicity 1): open that layer.

What Super Alloy is used for

82 recipes in the files list Super Alloy as an ingredient: 30 items and 52 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

  • Looking on Selenea. The files place no Super Alloy there.
  • 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 Super Alloy pins there are missing.
