Holmium ore

Holmium ore is an item obtained exclusively as a result of Recycling processes that convert Scrap into a variety of salvage products. In average outcomes reported for Recycling, 100 units of Scrap processed yield 1 unit of Holmium ore. Holmium ore itself is treated as one of several possible recovered products rather than a directly mined resource.

When 100 Scrap are processed on average to produce 1 Holmium ore, the Recycling run also yields a fixed assortment of other items in the same average sample. The typical full output for that expected yield is:

• 1 Low density structure
• 2 Processing units
• 3 Advanced circuits
• 3 Copper cables
• 4 Battery
• 4 Steel plates
• 4 Stone
• 5 Ice
• 6 Concrete
• 7 Solid fuel
• 20 Iron gear wheel

Because these numbers are framed as averages from the Recycling calculation, individual Recycling operations will vary from this composition; the list represents the expected mean outputs associated with the average of 100 Scrap per 1 Holmium ore. Holmium ore should therefore be considered part of the mixed returns of large-scale Recycling rather than a guaranteed unit from any single processing batch.

Practical notes:

• Plan Recycling throughput and storage with the mixed output in mind: large quantities of intermediate items (iron gear wheel, solid fuel, concrete, processing units, etc.) will be produced alongside Holmium ore.
• Use Holmium ore and the associated recovered items as a supplemental supply rather than a primary production method, since its production depends on long-term Scrap processing averages.
• Monitor inventory sinks for the high-volume byproducts (iron gear wheel, solid fuel, concrete) to avoid clogging Recycling output buffers.
