X4: Foundations – Natural Resources

At the base of the ware manufacturing chains are natural resources which have to be harvested and refined into useful products.

Solar energy is converted directly into Energy Cells by Energy Cell Production modules while other Solid and Liquid resources need to be harvested by specialised Miner ships. Liquid resources are collected from flying in nebulae while solids require asteroids to be broken up and the fragments collected.

The abundance of solar energy in a sector can be seen under the entry for the sector in the Galaxy category of the Encyclopaedia while the abundance of other resources requires a Resource Probe to be deployed at the mining site. Nebulae are represented as blue tiles, asteroid fields as red tiles and mixed collection sites as purple tiles on the Map.

• Liquid Resources: Helium, Hydrogen and Methane

• Solid Resources: Ice, Ore, Nividium and Silicon
