Gold (Subnautica)

Gold is a raw material found in Basalt, Shale and Sandstone Outcrops. Its in-game description notes that it is highly conductive.

Gold can be found as a large resource deposit.

Trivia
Gold's atomic number is 79 and its atomic weight is 196.9, making it one of the heaviest naturally occurring metals. Its high conductivity and low reactivity make it one of the most versatile metals in any kind of industry, especially in electronics and shielding. Pure gold is often formed as result of heavy tectonic or volcanic activity, as it is otherwise often bonded to other metals, such as Silver, or encased in various minerals, such as Quartz. This suggests that the biomes one can find it in abundantly are of advanced age, geologically.
