Resource locations
Uranium Ore
Uranium ore yields U-235 and U-238 for nuclear fuel and ammunition production.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Uranium Ore
Uranium patches on Nauvis.
Before you go
- Powered electric mining drills.
- Sulfuric acid piped to the drills.
- Centrifuges and separate isotope collection routes.
Farming steps
- Research uranium processing and locate a Nauvis uranium patch.
- Place electric drills so their mining areas touch the uranium.
- Connect sulfuric acid to each drill’s fluid input and provide power.
- Route mined ore to centrifuges configured for uranium processing.
- Collect U-235 and U-238 separately.
- Buffer the isotopes for the fuel or ammunition recipes you intend to use.
- Check acid, power, and output capacity if mining or processing stops.
- The ore’s green glow can help identify patches at night.
- Drills require acid; burner drills and hand mining cannot extract uranium.
Repeat, collect and use
Continuous while the patch, power, acid, and processing capacity remain available.
Common mistakes
- Using burner drills or omitting acid; supply powered electric drills with acid.
- Sending uranium to furnaces; centrifuges process it.
- Combining isotope outputs; keep separate routes and stores.
When to stop or switch
Expand or relocate when the patch, acid supply, or transport can no longer keep the centrifuges supplied.
