Vein Types

Veins are the mineable resource deposits found on planets and in space. Each vein type yields a specific raw resource and is gathered with a matching extraction method. The table below lists every vein type, what it produces, and how it is mined.

Solid Ore

copper ore vein

Planet types

Extraction building
mining machine
Produces item
copper ore

Description

Copper Ore Vein is a vein-type entity in the Dyson Sphere Program that represents a deposit of copper ore on a planet; it is the local resource node that mining structures extract to produce raw Copper Ore used in smelting, circuit and component production, and other manufacturing chains. As a vein-type entity, Copper Ore Vein defines the quantity and spatial distribution of copper available at a site and is interacted with by miners, conveyor logistics, and automated collection systems to feed downstream recipes and factory expansion.

Produces item
iron ore

Description

Iron Ore Vein is a vein-type resource node that appears on planetary surfaces and serves as a concentrated deposit of raw iron ore for extraction; it is mined by placing mining installations over the vein to yield iron ore that feeds smelting, manufacturing, and logistics chains across the Dyson Sphere Program production network.

coal vein

Produces item
coal

Description

Coal Vein is a vein-type entity in the Dyson Sphere Program system representing a surface resource deposit of coal; it must be mined by extraction buildings to obtain coal and is a source node for supply chains that feed smelting, power generation, and chemical production. As a vein-type, Coal Vein appears on planetary surfaces, can be depleted by continuous extraction, and is connected to factory logistics via conveyor belts, sorters, and storage units to integrate its output into broader production networks.

crude oil vein

Description

Crude oil seep / vein, mined by Oil Extractor.

fractal silicon vein

Produces item
fractal silicon

Description

Fractal Silicon Vein is a vein-type in the Dyson Sphere Program system representing a localized deposit of a resource on a planet; as a vein-type entity it denotes where specific extractable resources spawn in the planetary surface and how they are distributed across the map, and it is intended to be mined or harvested by appropriate extraction buildings and units to supply production chains. The entry exists as a classification within the game's resource and terrain systems rather than as a standalone item or recipe.

grating crystal vein

Description

Why its called a rock? Nobody knows, maybe its stoned?

"Rare ore. With naturally formed grooves distributed on the surface, is used to produce precision optical components and high-power exciters."

kimberlite ore vein

Produces item
kimberlite ore

Description

Kimberlite Ore Vein is a vein-type entity in the Dyson Sphere Program representing a deposit of kimberlite ore; as a resource node it appears on planetary surfaces and is exploited by mining infrastructure to supply raw kimberlite for processing, logistics and production chains within the game.

silicon ore vein

Produces item
silicon ore

Description

Silicon Ore Vein is a vein-type in the Dyson Sphere Program system; as a resource node category it denotes locations on a planet where silicon ore is concentrated and can be extracted by mining facilities. It is directly related to the game’s resource extraction and transport chains, serving as the source for silicon used in crafting and production recipes and linking to logistics structures that move raw silicon into assemblers and smelters.

stone vein

Produces item
stone

Description

Stone Vein is a vein-type in the Dyson Sphere Program system, representing one of the game’s mineral deposit categories found on planetary surfaces. As a vein-type entity, Stone Vein denotes locations where mining structures can be placed to extract raw materials and is part of the planet resource-generation and extraction mechanics. The entry identifies the vein’s role within the game’s resource and logistics systems rather than providing specific composition or extraction rates; it is primarily used by the game to categorize and spawn extractable deposits for player mining operations.

titanium ore vein

Produces item
titanium ore

Description

Titanium Ore Vein is a vein-type entity in the Dyson Sphere Program system; the data provided contains only its classification and names, with "Titanium Ore Vein" as the localized display name and "Titanium Ore Vein" as the canonical English identifier. As a vein-type category it represents an ore deposit object within the world generation and resource extraction mechanics of the game, typically associated with deposits that players can mine or harvest, but no additional specifics about yields, extraction methods, or in-game behavior were supplied in the provided data.

unipolar magnet vein

Description

Unipolar magnet vein is a source of Unipolar Magnets, one of the rarest ores found throughout the galaxy. These veins are only found on planets around Neutron Stars and Black Holes. Full use of the mined ore requires setting up an Interstellar Logistics Station network.
