Resources

So we will also be getting liquid and gaseous resources? There is a water and air scanner that is new for 1.0 and I was wondering what it was for.

It sounds like that's for extracting ore in thick atmospheres like Jool's or Eve's, and the water scanner is for oceans... but as far as I know, it's all one resource called "Ore", just different sources of it.

Seems like it. I saw some sort of atmo scoop in TheWinterOwl's video. Would be cool.

sadly the streamers until now had nearly no clue what the new parts will do. Only one weired guy showed 5min of minums mining, after nearly 2h of trying to get there...

Oh man, when I hear "ore" I immediately think "rock." I sure hope we can't mine ore from the atmosphere! That said, converting atmosphere into rocket fuel is a real thing... I'd just want it to not be called "ore."

You can probably mine atmosphere. You need some way of making oxidizer I guess. This will make Jool a hot spot for oxidizer mining!

Wait,so landing in the water with purpose is a thing now? AWESOME! I wonder if planets like Eve will have different types of resources in the "water"

It could have just been there as mod support though, with stock mining not using ocean/atmo extraction. I'll wait for someone to confirm if there really is an atmo scoop for resources.
