Resources (ES2)

For resources in Everspace, see Resources.

There are a wide variety of resources in Everspace 2. Many are needed for certain missions, upgrading perks, and crafting. There are also commodities, which are a good source of early to mid-game credits, and are stored in the ship cargo instead of the crafting menu like other resources and components.

Similarly to equipment, items are divided into different rarities and types: Common (grey), Uncommon (aquamarine), Rare (blue), Superior (pink), and Legendary (orange).

Gameplay

• All standard resources can be found in station shops, which typically have a random assortment of different types, or from killing enemies.
  • G&B Freighter crates tend to drop lots of resources, especially commodities.

• Ores and Crystals can be found in the form of resource deposits randomly generated in certain Locations (ES2) on various surfaces.
  • These deposits 'respawn' after 10 minutes of being outside of the zone, in supralight or elsewhere.

• Rigged asteroids and hardened ore patches found in many locations also drop a good amount of ore, but they can only be destroyed once, they will not reappear later.

Types of Categorized Resources

Resources are assigned to one of several categories. The category of a resource is shown in its inventory hover tooltip as gray text under the resource's name.

• Commodity
• Crystal
• Ore
• Mission item
• Component
• Crafting Catalyst
• Software - Mainframe Expansions and Mainframe Components
• Resource (catch-all for items not fitting in any other category)
• Parts - rarity-specific resources gained from dismantling and used for crafting and modifying equipment.
