Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and is classified as a dwarf planet. It is the only dwarf planet located in the inner Solar System. Composed primarily of rock and ice, Ceres contains significant amounts of water, making it valuable for resource extraction. The game features 4 habitation sites on Ceres.
Negative values are not a bug, the game actually sets the median to a negative value to make it incredibly unlikely for the site to have a positive mine output. But note that the actual mined amount cannot actually be negative.
Blank values indicate that the site can never produce this resource. In contrast, 0 indicates that there is still up to 50% chance for the site to produce the resource.
Values shown do not take into account the final capping of the Noble Metals output to just 1/2 or 1/3 of the Base Metals output.
Top 50% Mean is the average value of the top 50% of possible rolls. It is also a much looser estimate than the median because it cannot handle edge cases such as where the mininum value is too close to the median value.

Strategic Value
Ceres represents a major stepping stone between the inner and outer Solar System. Its water ice resources are valuable for fuel production and life support, while its position in the asteroid belt makes it an excellent base for accessing the abundant mineral resources in the region. As the largest body in the asteroid belt, establishing control over Ceres provides strategic advantages for operations throughout this resource-rich zone.
