Solar System (NTM: Space)
The Solar System in NTM: Space is based on the Kerbol System from the popular rocket building and space travel game Kerbal Space Program. The planets within are interesting and varied analogs of the real Solar System, asking various "what-if"s about the planets we know and love to make for a more interesting and varied experience than the planets as we know them could provide.
Tier 0
All the bodies in this tier can be accessed without a improved drive processor chip installed into a drive processor, and are therefore accessible immediately once cracked oil processing is achieved.
Earth
The starting point of almost all Minecraft playthroughs, this planet is full of places to explore, and structures to loot for a large boost in the early game. In terms of renewable resources, it can hardly be beat for carbon based products, such as plant life, frackable bedrock oil deposits, and coal. However, on the renewable minerals front, bedrock ore on the planet is limited, but it does fortunately have the basics.
| Ore Type | Primary | Sulfuric | Solvent | High-Performance Solvent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Metal | Iron | Copper | Bauxite | Sodium |
| Heavy Metal | Tungsten | Tungsten | Tungsten | Zinc |
| Non-Metal | Coal | Lignite | Sulfur | Niter |
| Crystalline | Asbestos | Diamond | Emerald | Emerald |
Mun
Your first destination! Absolutely chock full of lithium, quartz, and most importantly, your first source of nickel to start producing stainless steel for space-grade machinery. The Mun is the first atmosphere-less body available in a regular playthrough, necessary for making the first tier of drive processors in the vacuum solderer. Cows with breathing headgear can be found here, inspired by the moonwalking cows from an April Fools update.
| Ore Type | Primary | Sulfuric | Solvent | High-Performance Solvent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Metal | Iron | Lithium | Sodium | Chlorocalcite |
| Heavy Metal | Lead | Zinc | Gold | Bismuth |
| Rare-Earth | Cobalt | Rare Earth | Neodymium | Strontium |
| Non-Metal | Sulfur | Fluorite | Niter | Silicon |
| Crystalline | Redstone | Sodalite | Emerald | Cinnabar |
Minmus
The B-Side destination alternative to the Mun, Minmus is characterized by a distinctive mint-choc-chip ice-cream aesthetic. Pumps function here, but instead of producing water, this moon bizarrely produces milk, allowing for full automation of butter, milkshakes and ice-cream.
| Ore Type | Primary | Sulfuric | Solvent | High-Performance Solvent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Metal | Copper | Titanium | Chlorocalcite | Copper |
| Heavy Metal | Lead | Gold | Tungsten | Bismuth |
| Rare-Earth | Zirconium | Boron | Cobalt | Strontium |
| Non-Metal | Sulfur | Niter | Fluorite | Silicon |
| Crystalline | Emerald | Sodalite | Diamond | Emerald |
Tier 1
To access these celestial bodies, a vacuum solderer must be used to craft the first tier of drive processor upgrade, which must be done in a vacuum. Both the Mun and Minmus have no atmospheres, which means this can be done on either body to proceed.
Duna
The red planet, home to vast quantities of iron. Molysite and volcano gems can be found here in basaltic caves, found within basins where vast oceans were theorized to once exist. A new world can be started from this location if world type The Martian is selected when generating.
| Ore Type | Primary | Sulfuric | Solvent | High-Performance Solvent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Metal | Iron | Nickel | Titanium | Chlorocalcite |
| Heavy Metal | Beryllium | Tungsten | Zinc | Bismuth |
| Rare-Earth | Rare Earth | Boron | Zirconium | Strontium |
| Actinide | Thorium | Radium | Polonium | Uranium-233 |
| Non-Metal | Fluorite | Sulfur | Silicon | Red Phosphorus |
| Crystalline | Redstone | Cinnabar | Diamond | Molysite |
Ike
Ike, the sole moon of Duna, has hints of a past as a significant hazardous waste dump, with large spires and pyramids reminiscent of potential designs on Earth for warning future civilizations of great danger in relation to nuclear waste. Meteor dungeons spawn more frequently here, and pools of alkyl bromide can be found on the surface.
| Ore Type | Primary | Sulfuric | Solvent | High-Performance Solvent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Metal | Copper | Cryolite | Nickel | Sodium |
| Heavy Metal | Lead | Zinc | Gold | Arsenic |
| Rare-Earth | Boron | Neodymium | Strontium | Lanthanium |
| Hazardous | Uranium | Uranium-238 | Plutonium | Technetium |
Moho
A fair-dinkum planet, hot as hell, and full of rare resources generally only found in the Nether. Australium is only found here, in vast quantities deep under the surface. Some of the largest caves ever generated within Minecraft can be found here, perfect for an evil lair.
| Ore Type | Primary | Sulfuric | Solvent | High-Performance Solvent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Metal | Titanium | Chlorocalcite | Nickel | Lithium |
| Heavy Metal | Gold | Zinc | Lead | Bismuth |
| Rare-Earth | Neodymium | Zirconium | Bromine | Strontium |
| Actinide | Australium | Australium | Tasmanite | Ayerite |
| Non-Metal | Glowstone | Red Phosphorus | Sulfur | White Phosphorus |
| Crystalline | Cinnabar | Redstone | Quartz | Molysite |
Tier 2
To travel to these celestial bodies, further progress must be made with the drive processor upgrades, utilizing gallium - which can be procured by processing rich mineral deposits found on Ike and Moho, and arsenic - which is found on Ike in bedrock ore, or on Earth via dirt and stone that has been damaged by hydraulic fracking.
Dres
This planet has some of the most prized resources in the whole system, with even the primary fraction of bedrock ore consisting of incredibly valuable metals and materials. Niobium, coltan, and lanthanium ore is present here in vast quantities.
| Ore Type | Primary | Sulfuric | Solvent | High-Performance Solvent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Metal | Nickel | Titanium | Cadmium | Gallium |
| Heavy Metal | Zinc | Gold | Bismuth | Arsenic |
| Rare-Earth | Tantalum | Lanthanum | Niobium | Strontium |
| Actinide | Uranium | Radium | Technetium | Uranium-238 |
| Non-Metal | Silicon | Silicon | Fluorite | Fluorite |
| Crystalline | Diamond | Borax | Molysite | Molysite |
Eve
While it is possible to travel here with only a tier 2 drive processor to exploit the incredibly powerful schrabidic resources that exist here, players will not last long without the appropriate armor inserts, due to the highly corrosive atmosphere melting any armor it comes into contact with. These armor inserts must be crafted with combine steel and neon gas, found in the atmosphere of Jool.
| Ore Type | Primary | Sulfuric | Solvent | High-Performance Solvent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light Metal | Sodium | Chlorocalcite | Iron | Cobalt-60 |
| Heavy Metal | Tungsten | Lead | Arsenic | Lead-209 |
| Rare-Earth | Niobium | Strontium | Iodine | Gold-198 |
| Actinide | Plutonium | Polonium | Neptunium | Plutonium-239 |
| Schrabidic | Schrabidum | Solinium | Ghiorsium | Schrabidium |
| Crystalline | Sodalite | Molysite | Diamond | Borax |
Tier 3
In order to travel to Laythe, the current sole tier 3 destination, you will need to procure the rare light metal hafnium to produce the requisite chips, which at this stage in progression can only be obtained by centrifuging niobium crystals, which must be created from niobium ore, only found on Dres and Eve.
Laythe
A beautiful water world, teeming with life, oceans lit up with fields of glowgrass, and dotted with sunken submarines from previous explorers who attempted to exploit the natural resources found here. Seems that the place doesn't like intruders. Jool gas can be harvested from here using a gas giant harvester.
| Ore Type | Primary | Sulfuric | Solvent | High-Performance Solvent |
