Nickel Ore is a common, naturally occurring ore found in asteroids, moons, and planets. Nickel has a shiny yellowish texture, similar to pyrite (fool's gold).
Usage
Nickel Ingots are used to craft ammunition, handheld weapons, bottles, and tools. It is also very commonly used to assemble components including Medical Components, Motors, Power Cells, and more.
Yield
Nickel is processed in a Refinery to produce Nickel Ingots at a 40% ratio. Which is to say, 1000 kg of ore will produce 400 kg of ingots. Using a Refinery, 749 kg of Nickel Ingot can be produced per hour, without Speed or Yield Modules, at "realistic" refinery speed.
1 Kg of Nickel Ingot takes up 0.11 L of volume.

How do Ore detectors work space engineers?
Ore Detector is an entry-level functional block in Space Engineers. When attached to a ship and supplied with power, it displays up to 5 ore locations on the player's HUD when they are within detection range — exactly like the Hand Drill does, but with possibly greater range.
Where do you find Ore patches in space engineers?
Ore patches on planets have discoloration patterns that you can spot visually by looking at the ground. Grab a hydrogen bottle and fly around during the day till you think you see one, then pull your drill out while standing on the discolored locations.
