Zeolite Location in The Planet Crafter (Map)

Game files, build 2.008

Zeolite has 241 pins in the game files, on 4 planets. Prime has the most (76, 32 %). Next is Aqualis with 70.

The map opens on Prime, where most of the pins are (76). Other planets with Zeolite: Aqualis (70), Humble (65), Toxicity (30).

Zeolite by planet

241 Zeolite 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: Prime's busiest part (centre) holds 26 of its 76 pins, and Aqualis's busiest part (west) holds 70 of 70.

How to get Zeolite

Every Zeolite 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 241 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 3 "Zeolite vein" pins (Prime 1, Humble 1, Toxicity 1): Zeolite vein layer. The files do not say how a vein differs from an ore pin, so I keep the two apart.

What Zeolite is used for

22 recipes in the files list Zeolite as an ingredient: 9 items and 13 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 Zeolite 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 Zeolite pins there are missing.
