Hello everyone. Just had a quick question for you.
Are resources randomly generated? I've been keeping track of the new resources appearing and disappearing on my local planet, with a little database I made. I'm fairly certain that new resources just have a random name generator, with randomized stats that fit within their type. (steel, copper, ore, ect. ect.) I was just wondering if anyone could confirm my suspicions. 
Thanks

It seems to be mostly random, but there does seem to be some small method to it. It seems that most resources have at least one good (>900) stat, and that the likelihood of any resource being good in more than one "important" stat is small. It also seems that certain resource types consistently are better in certain stats than others. Copper generally seems to have higher conductivity than aluminum, for example.
