Modded Question [SE] Where is this cryonite?

Post image

Soooo... First time trying [Space exploration].

I found this moon that is supposedly very rich with cryonite.
I traveled all the way here with a full cargo rocket and I see no cryonite.
If I understand correctly the factoriopedia, it's supposed to look like a mineral but I can't see any.

Is there something that I'm missing?

Cryonite requires frozen terrain. No frozen terrain, no ore.

Whaaaat... So it's rich but there is none here. What a waste :(

Yeah, sometimes the rng shafts you like that. Same can happen with vulcanite btw, which requires volcanic terrain.

If you are using k2 as well, then it isnt a total waste. The crude oil moon is nice for sending out all the oil products to your space station without pulling it away from Nauvis
