Not all of them can be found on Sylva, the starting planet so youre going to have to build a shuttle and visit some other planets.

The raw materials are: Organic (smelts to Carbon) Quartz (smelts to Glass) Clay (smelts to Ceramic) Laterite (smelts to Aluminium) Sphalerite (smelts to Zinc) - Found on Sylva Desolo Malachite (smelts to Copper) - Found on Sylva Calidor Wolframite (smelts to Tungsten) - Found on Desolo Calidor Hermatite (smelts to Iron) - Found on Novus Glacio Titanite (smelts to Titanium) - Found on Vesania Glacio The achievement didnt unlock for me when I though it would, when I finally found Titanite and smalted it on Vesania.

For some reason the game didnt count the Malachite Id gathered and smelted on Sylva.

I had to go to Calidor and dig up some Malachite and smelt that to unlock this achievement.

Do you have a question about this achievement Please post it in the Astroneer Forum.

There are currently no gaming sessions for the They Who Smelt It achievements that you can join - why not register and make a new session.

They can provide an early stream of bytes before the player finds research items that provide more bytes per second.

Resources can be obtained by extracting them, crafting them, trading at the Trade Platform, or finding them on Discoveries.

They are mainly used as ingredients when crafting the Items needed to play the game.

Apart from that, some resources may be converted into Power using generators, into Bytes using the Research Chamber, or sometimes used in a limited time event.

Natural resources vary in rarity, with some occurring on every planet and others only appearing on a couple of planets.

Likewise, atmospheric resources are only available on planets with an atmosphere, and on each of these planets only two types of atmospheric resources are available, except for Atrox, which has four atmospheric resources.

Most natural and atmospheric resources are used to create refined and composite resources at a Smelting Furnace or Chemistry Lab.

These resources can be used to be crafted into refined or composite resources using a Smelting Furnace or a Chemistry Lab, respectively.

The deposits will break and will provide the player with nuggets of the resources.

By using an Auto Extractor to extract from deposits, the player may obtain fifteen times the number of nuggets than extracting manually provide.

For example, if a deposit would give 10 nuggets, using an Auto Extractor would provide at least 150 nuggets of a resource.

Organic is gathered by digging up various types of Flora found on the planets, while Soil is collected from the terrain.

To collect soil, a Small Canister is required while digging to collect the soil for use, which will fill gradually as the player digs.

It will create a nugget of gas inside of a canister that the player does not need to provide.

Once the nugget is full, if available, it will move to an open slot or into a Medium Gas Canister, and a new nugget will start being produced.

The following resources may be extracted from the soil: Organic, Compound, Resin, Clay, Quartz, Ammonium, and Graphite.

Resources cost scrap to trade for, with more advanced resources costing more per nugget.

Consumables, different Items, as well as valuable salvageable parts may also be found for the player to utilize.

Most naturally occurring metallic ores and Clay must be be refined in order to be of any value other than for research.

Organic and Quartz may also be refined, but they also have uses in their unrefined form.

Soil, Compound, Resin, Ammonium, Graphite, Astronium cannot be refined.

Composite resources are used in mid to late game progression, allowing the player to craft more advance items, such as Automation items or RTGs.

Players will always be printing items, from the start of the game to the end.
