Metallic asteroid chunk is a resource gathered by asteroid collectors and processed in crushers. It is the main source for iron ore, used to make thruster oxidizer, and later copper ore in space. It is dropped from metallic asteroids, which is the most common asteroid when traversing between the first 4 planets. It can also be used in asteroid reprocessing.

As asteroid chunks stack size is only 1, belts can hold more chunks per tile (8) than cargo bays.
