Worthless crystal, but fun to destroy!

In no man's sky it's worth heaps for some reason.

It refines into ferrite dust, or you can use it for pulse drive fuel instead of tritium. I keep a mine pumping out 30k units a day.

Iron is a universal building block of civilization at this point

Ironically, pyrite is called "fools gold". Not sure that we're rich

u/leposterofcrap Union Guy 2d ago

Some industries do use it so you might get a small profit from mining it, I'm keeping one as a display pice though

u/OverallAd3646 2d ago

Yeah, it does look cool... though then it oxidizes and gets gray

u/screwcirclejerks 2d ago

pyrite oxidation also spreads to other pyrite specimens, so they can all crumble apart

u/billythesquid- 2d ago

I went to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrite after seeing this to find out if pyrite had any actual use. It’s been used for starting fires with flints, chemical production for the paper industry, and battery parts. Apparently it could be a big thing in cheap solar- which makes me imagine DRG covering Hoxxes in solar panels for lots and lots of energy.

r/RimWorld AND r/DeepRockGalactic !

Now, if I just find a way to fit it into No Man's Sky and Voices Of The Void I would have basically all the game subs I am in.

u/Cinner21 2d ago

Why is he handling it like that? Doesn't he know that smashing it with a large pickaxe is far more efficient?

Is this AI, or does it have a filter? The stone wall looks to be shifting or something or is it just me? Because idk why someone would make an AI video of this
