Titanium Ore

Titanium Ore is a raw material used in StarRupture. It can be processed into refined products and components for construction and manufacturing.

Titanium Ore is produced from map nodes and can be extracted by mining infrastructure. Node yields are categorized by purity: Impure nodes produce 60 per minute, Normal nodes produce 120 per minute, and Pure nodes produce 240 per minute. Ore Excavator output for Titanium Ore follows the same per-minute rates for Impure, Normal, and Pure deposits. Titanium Ore also appears among materials obtained from Mini Meteors and Meteors.

Processing and crafting use Titanium Ore as a direct ingredient. Key recipes that consume Titanium Ore are:

• Basic Building Material: requires 1 Titanium Ore and 1 Wolfram Ore to produce 10 Basic Building Material. This recipe can be executed in a Basic Item Printer with no time cost, or in a Fabricator taking 2 seconds.
• Titanium Bar: requires 2 Titanium Ore and is processed in a Smelter for 2 seconds to yield 2 Titanium Bar.

Exporting Titanium Ore grants export value and potential rewards. Training Corporation lists Titanium Ore with an export value of 1; fulfilling export contracts related to Titanium Ore at Training Corporation can yield items such as Ore Excavator, Rail v1, Rail Support, Rail Connector, and Analyzing Station depending on corporation level and contract.

Practical notes:

• Prioritize Pure nodes for maximum throughput: Pure nodes supply 240 Titanium Ore per minute, quadruple an Impure node.
• Use Smelters to convert ore into Titanium Bars efficiently (2 Ore → 2 Bars in 2 seconds) when bars are required for advanced crafting.
• The Basic Building Material recipe provides a fast way to convert mixed ores (Titanium Ore + Wolfram Ore) into construction material; using a Fabricator increases processing time to 2 seconds compared to instant production in a Basic Item Printer.
• Meteoric events (Mini Meteors and Meteors) provide a supplementary source of Titanium Ore; include meteor collection in resource runs to supplement mining.
• Exporting to Training Corporation is a low-value but repeatable way to obtain early logistics and infrastructure rewards tied to Titanium Ore shipments.
