Torite — Uncommon Refinable Metal Mining in Star Citizen
Torite is an uncommon metal obtained by ship mining, spread across 94 deposits in three systems but sold at only six trade locations for 6,600 to 8,500 aUEC. This service mines Torite ore, refines it and hauls the output to a terminal that actually pays for it, delivering the material or its aUEC value to your account.
What You Get
- The material: the ordered quantity of refined Torite, or its aUEC value.
- Refining handled: ore processed at a refinery, not delivered as raw rock.
- Hauling handled: output moved to one of the six terminals that buy Torite.
What Torite Is
Torite is described in lore as a metal found throughout the Nyx system, long mined by local inhabitants for a variety of uses but never adopted more widely. That description matches its mechanics: it is common in the ground and thin on the market.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Rarity | Uncommon |
| Acquisition | Ship mining only |
| Refinable | Yes — refines into Torite |
| Density | 2.8 g/cc |
| Systems | Stanton, Pyro, Nyx |
| Deposits | 94 |
| Trade locations | 6 |
The Real Bottleneck Is Not the Mining
Torite sits at 94 deposits against 6 places that buy it. Nothing else in the mining loop has that ratio. A full cargo hold is straightforward to fill and then has to cross systems to reach a buyer, which is where the hours actually go.
The sell price runs from 6,600 to 8,500 aUEC. That is a spread of roughly 29% between the worst and the best of the six terminals, so on a Torite run the choice of destination moves the payout more than the quality of any individual rock does.
Reading the Mining Stats
| Stat | Torite | What it means at the rock |
|---|---|---|
| Signature | 3,200 | Low scanner return — Torite deposits are among the quieter signatures and need closer prospecting |
| Resistance | 0.25 | Low; the rock takes very little laser power to move toward fracture |
| Instability | 550 | High volatility — the optimal charge window jumps, and low resistance means it is overshot quickly |
| Quality | 245–1000 | Wide yield range; content varies several times over between rocks of the same size |
Low resistance with high instability is the awkward combination. Energy goes in easily, but the window it has to land in will not sit still. Torite rewards fine power control and punishes the habit of holding full laser output.
Torite Against the Other Refinables
Where Torite fits is easier to see next to the materials it competes with for cargo space.
| Torite | Bexalite | Borase | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rarity | Uncommon | Common | Rare |
| Instability | 550 | 600 | 40 |
| Resistance | 0.25 | 0.6 | 0.3 |
| Signature | 3,200 | 3,600 | 4,000 |
| Deposits | 94 | 39 | 41 |
| Approx. value per SCU | 6,600–8,500 | ~18,000 | ~25,000 |
Torite is the most abundant of the three and the least valuable per unit, which makes it a volume material rather than a target material. It pays when a hold is filled and delivered in one trip, not when a single high-quality rock is chased.
Ore, Refined Metal and Price
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Mine | Torite ore is extracted by ship mining across Stanton, Pyro and Nyx |
| 2. Refine | Ore is processed at a refinery; this costs time and aUEC and sets the final yield |
| 3. Haul and sell | Refined Torite is carried to one of six buying terminals at 6,600 to 8,500 aUEC per SCU |
How the Service Runs
Mining is carried out manually on live servers, with VPN encryption matched to your region and legit gameplay throughout. Delivery scales with the ordered quantity; larger orders run across multiple refining cycles and hauls rather than a single session.
- Material: the ordered quantity of refined Torite, or its aUEC equivalent.
- Full chain covered: mining, refining and the cross-system haul to a buying terminal.
- No requirements on you: no mining ship, refinery cycle or cargo run needed.
- Account: a Star Citizen account with a Game Package.
- Cargo: enough cargo capacity if you take delivery as material rather than aUEC.
- Note: Torite is bought at only six terminals — prices shift between them and between patches.
