Quantainium — the Hardest Mineral to Mine in Star Citizen
Quantainium is a legendary mineral used in the production of quantum fuel, found only in the Stanton system across 65 deposits at a 2% spawn rate. It carries the maximum instability rating in the game alongside the highest resistance, which makes it the single most demanding rock to fracture. This service mines and refines Quantainium and delivers the material or its aUEC value to your account.
What You Get
- The material: the ordered quantity of refined Quantainium.
- Refining handled: ore processed at a refinery, not delivered as raw rock.
- Secondaries kept: Beryl recovered from the same deposits.
Why Quantainium Is the Hard One
Most materials are difficult on one axis. Quantainium is difficult on every axis at once, and the numbers show it plainly.
| Stat | Quantainium | What it means at the rock |
|---|---|---|
| Instability | 1,000 | The ceiling. The optimal charge window swings violently and will not settle |
| Resistance | 0.95 | The highest in the game — the rock absorbs enormous laser energy before approaching fracture |
| Deposit signature | 3,170 | The quietest scanner return of the common refinables; deposits are hard to locate |
| Spawn rate | 2% | Present on Stanton moons at two percent, against thirty and above for common materials |
| Cluster | 2 rocks, 25% chance | The smallest cluster, and it does not always appear when the deposit does |
The combination is what makes it punishing rather than merely slow. High resistance forces real laser power into the rock, and instability at the maximum means that same power throws the charge past the fracture window. A rock that overcharges is lost, and at a 2% spawn rate on a single system, losing one is not a small setback.
What Quantainium Is For
Quantainium is required in the production of quantum fuel, which is what separates it from the cosmetic and construction materials elsewhere in the mining catalogue. It cannot be purchased at commodity terminals, so mining is the only route to it.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Mineral |
| Rarity | Legendary |
| Acquisition | Ship mining only — not sold at terminals |
| Refinable | Yes — refines into Quantainium |
| Systems | Stanton only |
| Deposits | 65 |
| Found on | Stanton moons including Aberdeen, Arial, Calliope, Cellin, Clio, Daymar and Euterpe |
What Comes Out of a Quantainium Deposit
Quantainium sits at 28–78% of the deposit as the primary component, with Beryl appearing as a secondary at 5–10%. Beryl is itself a rare mineral, so a Quantainium run returns a second material worth keeping rather than filler.
How the Service Runs
Mining is carried out manually on live servers by crews equipped for high-resistance rocks, with VPN encryption matched to your region and legit gameplay throughout. Delivery scales with the ordered quantity; because of the 2% spawn rate, larger orders run across several prospecting sessions rather than a single trip.
- Material: the ordered quantity of refined Quantainium.
- Full chain covered: prospecting, fracturing, refining and hauling.
- Secondaries included: Beryl recovered from the same deposits.
- Account: a Star Citizen account with a Game Package.
- Cargo: enough cargo capacity if you take delivery as material rather than aUEC.
- Note: Quantainium is not sold at terminals — mining is the only source.
