gold not included

Hi !

During the game play (about 1000 cycles) I realized that I don't know how to get gold from space since there isn't any gold on the asteroid Frosty Planet (and base game) either, which breaks the game by not being able to obtain liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen with another material that can withstand low temperatures.

I recommend options:
a) set the gold extraction on Frosty Planet (base game) (ore or volcano), even if it means going to the depths to obtain them.
b) that you can extract gold or gold amalgam with "Cargo Bays"
c) A mechanic with liquid mercury to obtain gold from certain rocks
d) geothermal heat pump can expel gold amalgam

Geothermal power plant can emit gold impurities

With what liquid? Why does it not generate gold impurities with water and petroleum? Could it be that the emission is not completely random?

Now I'm testing in creative mode to try combinations and without any result to get gold.

I checked the wiki and there is no way to get gold from the geothermal power plant, it also does not produce Gold Amalgam  :C (It can only produce gold if I have liquid gold but, I don't have gold xD)

I'm not sure where you read that it requires molten gold

It doesn't require gold. The output elements in the table in the wiki are dependent on the weighted average input temperature of the liquid that's sent in. The specific liquid that's input doesn't matter, as long as it meets the temperature threshold to get liquid gold out.

For the base game, my suggestions are molten glass (extremely slow to get a lot of), magma, or molten steel.

I have also had this issue on seed CER-A-438046723-0-D3-0 - Base game (SO disabled), ceres asteroid. No gold source until a single asteroid at 130,000. No way to make supercoolant to make the LOX to get there.

My opinion is that trying to hack gold out of the geotuner is not an enjoyable or acceptable solution and very difficult given there is no magma on the map or magma volcano on this seed. 

However the solution has been created in Nov 2024

Regal Bammoths have been introduced as of U53-640445,

Regal Bammoth -> sheering station -> Regal Bammoth Crest -> Rock crusher -> 250kg of Gold Amalgam / 10~ cycles

The precursor ethanol to grow the squash and the Tallow to make the fries - should be readily available. So I think this is an acceptable way forward.
