    @yogthos Is YS active ?
    Considering it comes from the earths core it muzt be endless star dust and precious elements no one excavates for some reason.

      It’s not active, but I have no idea if it can be mined easily. If it did go active we’d likely all go extinct though.

        Also, isn’t it a sacred mountain to the surrounding Indigenous peoples? Don’t mine it.

          Yeah there’s that too, and it’s also a whole biosphere. Biggest organism known is there.

            Yep. Not everything is about resources. If you can’t extract resources without destroying the environment or insulting the Indigenous residents, you should think of those resources as inaccessible. Maybe not physically, but morally.
