Hi,
Somehow holmium plates don't unlock for me, i do have the settings that Aquilo is on Fulgora, the technology says it should unlock when i craft holmium ore. I did mine some holmium ore from Fulgorite, but the plates don't unlock.

Hmm, a weird and unexpected issue. Thanks for reporting it, I will take a look.

but perhaps it was not my brightest moment and i should just recycle until i have "crafted" a holium ore. So far, i've only mined it...

Away from pc right now.

Yes, the plate technology unlocks when you "craft" the ore, through recycling scrap.

Yes you are right, sorry for wasting your time.
