Before you go
- Unlock the Caterium Ingot recipe and Smelter.
- For each standard recipe batch: 3 Caterium Ore produces 1 Caterium Ingot.
Farming steps
- Use the resource map to locate a Caterium Ore node and check its purity and access.
- Place a Miner on the node and connect it to power.
- Run a belt from the Miner to a Smelter, adding transport if the factory is farther away.
- Select Caterium Ingot in the Smelter.
- Keep Caterium Ore flowing and collect the ingots from the Smelter output.
- Route ingots to a downstream recipe such as Quickwire, or store them for later.
- At 100% clock, the standard Smelter recipe consumes 45 Caterium Ore and produces 15 Caterium Ingots per minute.
- Alternate recipes require their own unlocks and may use a Foundry or Refinery instead of a Smelter.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep the Miner and Smelter supplied as long as you need ingots; maintain 3 ore for each ingot in the standard recipe.
Common mistakes
- Do not look for an ingot deposit; mine Caterium Ore and smelt it.
- Do not expect one ingot from fewer than 3 ore with the standard recipe.
When to stop or switch
Stop or reduce extraction when the ingot buffer meets your production target or the ore supply is exhausted.
