Ore for one of the most valuable metals available, equal in value to aluminum and second only to Adamantine. Its high material value makes it a convenient material for high value rooms for nobles. Especially so, since mining it still leaves a valuable platinum floor.
Platinum can occur in veins inside bodies of magnetite or olivine and as small cluster within chromite and alluvial soil. The veins from magnetite specifically can extend far outside the magnetite they originate from and the vein may even be interrupted at the magnetite cluster border.
It is possible to make Crafts or Mechanisms with Platinum nuggets if it's enabled in the z-status stone menu, resulting in quite valuable items, good for export early in the game.
Platinum nuggets are not magma-safe. However, platinum metal is magma-safe.
Although platinum is intended to appear as veins within olivine, it only appears in small clusters, even in the absence of chromite.v0.28.181.40d
