To give you a more specific answer, the following types of resources should be your primary concern;

Fermionic Siliclastic Ore (for structure mods and wall mods)
A Metal Recycler (for structure mods and wall mods metal resources)
Duralloy Steel (for master components...OMU, TFDP, HHM, ect. and final construct)
Kammris Iron (as a suplement for your Duralloy in the "metal" slots)
Lubricating Oil (any type or quality, used in all "chemical" slots)

Mainly concentrate on your metal's and ore's Unit Toughness. Go for anything higher than 950. Secondary, look for Shock and Heat resistances to be above 900.

Primary Concerns????????????????????? What are you talking about...

ANY ORE!! for sturcture mods and WALLS (stats DO NOT Matter)

Metal Recyclers ROCK

ORE RECYCLERS ROCK

You need Steel/metal with High SR,UT, HR the kind of steel/metal doesnt matter

I think his points on these subjects are as follows:

Fermionic ore spawns in higher percentages than other ores...frequently you can find it well into the 90's so it's the most efficient use of your harvestingefforts for bulk/non-quality components.

Duralloy & Kammris - These two resources have a better chance of having high stats that are appropriate to Architectural components such as OMU's - in fact these are the only two among steels and irons that cap at 1000 in the pertinent stats. the same thing can be said of Katrium Intrusive Ore and Vintrium Extrusive Ore.

Hats off to Stownhart for being a student of the School of Lunariel

Yes but you shouldn't limit your visibility or resource hunting tool for just those. For steels you can use carbonite and quadrenium steels if the stats are high enough. For hq ore, you can use a various number of other ores other than katrium. If you static your harvesters, you won't always have the desire to uproot and set on the fermionic, so any ore is fine. Also if you buy your ore, any ore is fine.
