Description
"Nicknamed for the common mineral found in hydrothermal veins, this Siderite is found near veins of extreme dark energy activity. Previously difficult to identify and extract, this ultra-hard substance can now be exploited."
Siderite one of the last strategic resource, discoverable after researching Inorganic Biology. It increases the production and science of the colony it is in. (+1 
per 
and +2 
per on planet)
Gameplay
Each Siderite resource between one and three reduces the production required for Siderite modules by 10% per resource.
Siderite abundance (4 resources or more) reduces the production required for Siderite modules by 60%.
