There are many points of interest on planets that are not of the building variety.

For each of these in the top half of the below picture, some planets may spawn them in abundance, while others barely feature them, or don't have them at all.

Everything from 'cargo drop' & below, appear on all planets that are not classified as 'dead'.

There are a variety of items that are considered to be rare & are used for upgrading technologies.

These items can be found in curious deposits & floating crystals, or in cargo drops, or in caves, or on the planet's surface.

There are also treasure items that sell for large amounts; varying depending on their age. These items are usually dug up.
