SAM Ore

S.A.M. Ore, which stands for Strange Alien Metal, a rare resource found in the world. S.A.M. Ore can be be extracted from its uniquely located resource nodes, or can be found in random resource deposits.

Currently, S.A.M. resource nodes will only produce 15-99 ore, sharing properties with resource deposits; after this amount of ore is extracted, no more will be produced until the game is reloaded (the node will stay in place, and the Miner's Indicator Light will flash yellow). Node purity and Miner mark has no effect on the mined amount.

Usage
S.A.M. Ore currently has no use. It cannot be sinked into the AWESOME Sink.

Trivia

 * S.A.M. Ore is story-related
 * S.A.M. Ore is the only ore that doesn't have a stack size of 100.

Speculation
Information from in-game files seems to indicate that S.A.M. Ore will have utility in making a storage container that shares inventory with other containers of that type. Items placed into this container can be retrieved from another of these containers regardless of position in the world. Additional function as a story element or other features has yet to be determined.
