Uranium
A dark, heavy metal. While it is best known as a fuel for nuclear devices, its extreme density and hardness also make it good for making certain weapons, armor, and ammunition.

Uranium is the rarest material in the game. It can be used to craft very powerful (but very slow) blunt weapons, but this is generally wasteful, as it is a required element in the construction of certain late-game high-tech constructions, most notably the end-game ship.
Obtaining
Tiles of uranium ore can be found throughout the map, but must be mined before they can be used. Small amounts of it can be salvaged from deconstructing ancient cryptosleep caskets, or may randomly arrive in cargo pods. The most reliable method for acquiring it is to purchase it from bulk goods traders. Once you've completed the research necessary to construct a deep drill, it can also be found in small deposits underground.
Playing in Large or Ludeonicrous maps (of 300x300 or 400x400 tiles respectively) offer greater chance of finding it on the surface.
Ore
Uranium ore tiles have X HP, making them one of the (faster? slower?) ores to mine. They can be found in small veins, ranging from 1 to 6 tiles in size. Every tile of ore drops 35 uranium when mined, although miners with less than 8 skill in mining will produce significantly less.
