Is there any relationship between star type and resources/planet types likely to be found there? I would like to make intelligent choices of where to go resource gathering rather than poke around blindly.

My understanding is that Zascosium and Erestrum are found predominately on barren metal and lava type planets. Are there star types where I am more likely to find these types of planets?

I'm a returning player who has forgotten a lot, starting out in Reforged Eeden 2 and am finding it a challenge to locate planets/asteroids with Erestrum and/or Zascosium (also Gold). I already have my starter CV so I'm working towards upgrades, etc. but my ships are weak.

You'll find a ton of info in the RE2 empyriopedia either in game or you can look at it here:
