Each planet in Space Engineers has its own list of ores. The panel shows that list on the planet’s 3D page, with the depth at which the shallowest deposit of each ore starts. Platinum is only on the Moon, Europa and Titan. Uranium is not on any planet: it is only in asteroids.
The lists below come from the game’s own planet files on a Loafhosts server, as of 15 November 2026 on game version 1.210.014. A modded planet has its own list.
Where to look in the panel
- Open your server and choose Map.
- Press the planet in the Planets in 3D row.
- Find Ores (1) beside the picture. Each ore reads like “Iron from 3 m down”.
- Ores
The depth is the shallowest any deposit of that ore starts, measured down from the ground. It is not an exact place. The panel adds the note: “The shallowest each is found. Deposits are small and spread all over the ground.”
The ores, planet by planet
Depths are the shallowest start, in metres. Sizes are measured from the planet’s centre.
| Planet | Ores, shallowest first |
|---|---|
| Earthlike | Iron 3, Nickel 3, Silicon 3, Ice 13, Cobalt 20, Silver 21, Magnesium 23, Gold 30 |
| Mars | Ice 2, Iron 3, Nickel 3, Silicon 3, Cobalt 20, Silver 21, Magnesium 23, Gold 40 |
| Moon | Iron 3, Nickel 3, Silicon 3, Cobalt 20, Silver 21, Magnesium 23, Ice 32, Gold 40, Platinum 50 |
| Alien | Silicon 9, Iron 10, Nickel 10, Cobalt 20, Silver 21, Magnesium 23, Ice 32, Gold 40 |
| Europa and Titan | Silicon 9, Iron 10, Nickel 10, Cobalt 20, Silver 21, Magnesium 23, Ice 32, Gold 40, Platinum 50 |
| Triton | Iron 3, Nickel 3, Silicon 3, Cobalt 20, Silver 21, Magnesium 23, Gold 40 |
| Pertam | Cobalt 3, Iron 3, Nickel 3, Silicon 3, Silver 21, Magnesium 23, Gold 40 |
The game’s own names for them are EarthLike, Mars, Moon, Alien, Europa, Titan, Triton and Pertam.
Planet sizes from the same reading:
- Earthlike, Mars and Alien: 60 km radius, air up to 105 km.
- Triton: 40 km radius, air up to 70 km.
- Pertam: 30 km radius, air up to 53 km.
- Moon: 9.5 km radius, no air.
- Europa and Titan: 9.5 km radius, air up to about 17 km.
The Moon
- No atmosphere
- Ores
- Whole planet
The Moon has no air (1). Its Ores list (2) ends with Platinum from 50 m down, the deepest start of any ore on that page. If you want platinum, go to the Moon, Europa or Titan.
Uranium
No planet has uranium. The game’s wiki says: “As of version 1.189, Uranium ore cannot be found on planets. Instead it is only found in asteroids.” So you will not see it in the planet lists. See the wiki’s Uranium Ore page. Asteroids belong to the world’s own settings: see the world size and asteroids guide.
Why the panel lists ores and does not draw them
Deposits are small, about 150 metres across, and spread evenly over the whole ground. A drawing of them would just say “ore everywhere”. So the panel lists which ores a planet has and how deep the shallowest starts, and never claims where a deposit is.
If it does not match
- A planet from a mod. It has its own definitions. The panel lists the ores that the mod’s planet defines.
- A different game version. The lists above are from 1.210.014. A game update can change them. Your panel reads the files on your own server, so what the panel shows wins.
- The planet is a plain sphere. The game’s files have no ground map for it, so the 3D page says “Drawn as a plain sphere”. See Planets in 3D.
