Ore Generation
<General explanation of what types of ores spawn on planets, where are they common, are they underground>
Ores (except Platinum) are generated in two ways:
1. Beyond the surface (~15 to ~50 Meters): Large horizontal veins of ores with a thickness of a few meters. Each ore patch usually contains 1 to 4 ores. Different ores of the same patch can be found in different height levels. The surface above the ore patches is slightly darker and in a brown-ish color, so they can be easily spotted from a higher position. Dense Grass can make spotting harder.
2. On the surface inside rocks: The ore is hidden inside stone rocks that are spread randomly over the surface. Under <some conditions>, the positions of undrilled rocks are reseted completely, so GPS-Markers on these rocks become void. The rocks are also voxel entities, that are seperate from the planets voxels. They do overlap the planet in the way that station blocks do. After drilling the rocks above the surface, it is a good advice to drill into the (planets) ground for more hidden ore. Rocks are all about the same size, they contain about ~20,000 of rare ores up to ~100,000 of iron ore.
Hazards

Planets often have enemy bases, with occasional patrols.
On the Alien planet, Sabiroids spawn.
