-Once you've found the planet type you're after, check the resource density. This tells you how much of that mineral appears on the planet; the higher number the better. Select "Show Info" on a planet, and choose "View in Planetary Industry" at the bottom. In the top-left corner, "Build" is selected by default; switch this to "Scan" and it will show the 5 types of resources acquired, and hovering over each individually will show the amount of resources you will get.+Once you've found the planet type you're after, check the resource density.
