Unobtainium is an extremely valuable resource that generally spawns on high-G and extremely distant worlds.
You can mine Unobtainium using the vanilla drills without needing a converter in-situ.
Drills mining Unobtainium operate much more efficiently with both a scientist and engineer aboard.
Unobtainium is a little more dense than gold, so ensure to bring adequate Dv!
Finally a monetary reason to land on Eeloo, Eve, Moho/Icarus, or any of the other seldom visited worlds!
This mod is not meant to be an easy cash cow; rather, a difficult alternative to contract spam.
There is no gold on Kerbin, and be careful when choosing a mining site as only deposits of >2% (mini drill) or >1.5% (large drill) will yield gold ore.
The gold ore can be returned for an okay-ish profit, but be aware that gold ore is basically 9/10s ore. So there are obvious benefits to smelting in-situ. The Smelter needs power, cooling, and an engineer to function at its full capacity.
Pure Gold is, by design and IRL, HEAVY!
Feel free to post any working ship/base designs!
Note on returning with your space booty: Land near or on the space center to avoid diminished returns.
