Caterium Ore acquisition
Use the on-page resource map, filter for Caterium Ore, inspect node purity, and choose an accessible node. The map represents the standard layout; if your world uses optional resource or purity randomization, match the map settings to your world.

Before you go
- A Miner and power connection for node extraction.
- Unlock any downstream recipe and machine you plan to use.
Farming steps
- Open the on-page resource map and filter by Caterium Ore.
- Compare available nodes’ purity and select one you can access.
- Place the appropriate Miner on the node and connect power.
- Connect the Miner’s output to a Smelter for the default Caterium Ingot recipe.
- Provide three ore per ingot batch and collect ingots for Quickwire or other electronics chains.
- If using a Converter recipe, select its unlocked recipe and route ore to that machine instead.
- The default ingot recipe uses 3 Caterium Ore for 1 Caterium Ingot.
- Alternate: Tempered Caterium Ingot and Alternate: Leached Caterium Ingot are optional unlocks, not default production.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep mining while downstream demand remains; check the ore buffer and adjust extraction or transport when the consuming line starves.
Common mistakes
- Do not expect an ore deposit to provide finished Caterium Ingots; smelt the ore.
- Do not assume the standard map position or purity matches a world with randomization enabled.
When to stop or switch
Stop or redirect extraction when storage and downstream buffers are full, or the current production target is met.
