Collected on planet surfaces and from asteroids.

Carbon, C, atomic number 6. Sublimation point 3915K. Carbon is an element with a great many uses, mainly due to it's propensity for forming strong molecular bonds. It is a malleable element and in different forms can be amongst the hardest of materials as well as the softest.

— In-game description

Carbon is a very common material in the galaxy. It was introduced in v2.0.
