Unobtainium (UBT)is an extremely valuable resource that generally spawns on high-G and extremely distant worlds.- You can mine
Unobtainiumusing the stock drills without needing a converter in-situ.- Drills mining
Unobtainiumoperate much more efficiently with both a scientist and engineer aboard.Unobtainiumis denser thanGold, so ensure to bring adequate dΔ!- Finally a monetary reason to land on Eeloo, Eve, Moho/Icarus, or any of the other seldom visited worlds!

- This mod is not meant to be an easy cash cow; rather, a difficult alternative to contract spam.
- There is no
Goldon Kerbin, and be careful when choosing a mining site as only deposits of >2% (mini drill) or >1.5% (large drill) will yieldGold Ore.Gold Orecan be returned for an okay-ish profit, but be aware thatGold Oreis basically 9/10sOre. So there are obvious benefits to smelting in-situ. The Smelter needs power, cooling, and an engineer to function at its full capacity.- Pure
Goldis, by design and IRL, dense - a.k.a. HEAVY!- Feel free to post any working ship/base designs!
- Note on returning with your space booty: Land near or on the space center to avoid diminished returns.
