Natural Resources
This is an attempt to develop an order to natural resources and how they may be encountered on planetary surveys. It is based upon this flawed & incomplete concept. All known and (Star Trek) fictional naturally-occurring elements will be categorized here.
Resource categories
Common
Corrosives
Base Metals
Noble Gases
Rare Earths
Precious
Radioactives
