Trivia[]

  • Before Patch 1.0, Astronium deposits were a bright fuchsia, before being changed to their current gradient appearance, but the nuggets remained fuchsia. The nuggets' color were also once green before being later changed to purple and eventually, in Patch 1.0.15, changed to the gradient color we see now.
  • Astronium used to be found in small quantities on the surface of Radiated, and was easiest to find on Radiated for this reason. After Patch 1.0, Astronium was only found in the outer cores of each planet.
