Ilmenite, the ore of the Moon's dark seas: twice the titanium for half the coal.
In the game
How to get it
Mine ilmenite ore under the Moon's maria; in the Furnace, 16 voxels and 4 coal give 2 titanium ingots in 15 s.
What it is for
Titanium for rocket engines (32 ingots), cockpits, docks, suits and jetpacks, made on the Moon.
Why it exists
Titanium is the bottleneck of space; the Moon makes it cheap.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
Ilmenite lies under the Moon's dark seas. Furnace: 16 voxels + 4 coal → 2 titanium ingots, 15 s (on Earth, titanium ore gives 1 ingot for 8 coal, deep under the coasts).
