So I was looking for forge sparks on fsc when i realized fsc is completely boring. I think "hey, ill just go to a fire stratum in arcade." and run to arcade. To my suprise, there is only one fire stratum currently available, and its fsc. I went to look at the upcoming stratums, and only two of them are fire, and ones fsc. Its the same with jelly stratums. there's only one upcoming other then jk

I've also noticed that yellow minerals seem to be slightly more uncommon then the other colours. While i have about 1400 of the other four, I only have 1100 of yellow. Has anyone else noticed this?

I too have noticed that I'm always short on yellow compared to the other minerals. Because of this I've been making it a point to always take yellow when given a choice (that is to say, when there are multiple colors that are the biggest available and yellow is one of them) but even after months now of doing that I'm still consistently short on it.

I've noticed that yellow is most often at +4. I've been preferring to get yellow minerals for awhile now, still showing as more +4s. Meanwhile, purple is rarely +3 even still.

Ofc yellows the best, and rarest.....

Price for selling minerals. (approximate)

Yellow = 4 cr

Red = 3-4 cr

Green = 3 cr

Blue = 2-3 cr

Purple = 2 cr

If I remember correctly the

If I remember correctly the strata has less chance of giving the color minerals used to make that strata. Jelly is made from yellow and green, Undead is made from yellow and purple. Meaning both JK and FSC have a lower chance of giving yellows. Those being the 2 main farms in the game kind of speaks for itself why yellow minerals are rarer.

@Batabii

It is boring. That's why you do FSC sometimes, OCH another, Arena-Hop the next, Basil runs, etc.

There are some fun, unique, fire-related missions such as The Gauntlet and that one level with all the oilers in the arena-like place.

Shock, Gremlin, and Construct stages also hand out Forge Sparks. (Slime/Beast/Freeze give Primal and Fiend/Undead/Poison give Grim) If you're looking for them specifically, these seem to combo often. RT will give you a few while also handing out Bark Modules. GitM is tough (especially if you're going in full bomber, even I bring a Silversix), but there's a ton of treasure boxes at the end. Aside from that, a Gremlin Grounds or Mechanized Mile, especially a Fire or Shock one, will give out at least one, likely two, or even three in a Danger Room; multiple GG or MM stages can give quite a few tokens.

And, yeah, Fire missions include Compound 42 (though that's also Poison) and Terminal Meltdown (OILERS! OILERS EVERYWHERE!) if you just want some fire.
