Titanium

Titanium is what steel wants to be when it grows up, strong and absorptive. Its applications are broad and, in things like starships, almost mandatory. Who wants to careen through the galaxy, with all its hazards, in a ship made of out something weaker than titanium? not you, thats who.

Titanium is a relatively common mineral you will come across. Titanium will only occur at first in very small pockets (3-9 blocks, double if including the background blocks) making stockpiling a critical aspect early on.

Gathering
Mining titanium takes slighty more time to mine using a Standard Issue Laser Pick than prior common minerals. A good strategy is to wall yourself in with carried dirt prior to mining, to provide protection against most enemies that might spawn.
