SAM acquisition
Open the on-page resource map and filter by SAM. Inspect the purity of listed nodes, choose an accessible one, and extract SAM with a Miner. Do not assume a crafted SAM product has its own node.

Before you go
- A reachable SAM node and Miner.
- Unlock the Reanimated SAM recipe and Constructor if processing the ore.
Farming steps
- Open the on-page resource map and filter for SAM.
- Review node purity and choose an accessible node.
- Place the correct Miner on that node and connect power.
- Transport the extracted SAM to storage or processing.
- For Reanimated SAM, feed ore to a Constructor using its unlocked recipe.
- Send produced Reanimated SAM to SAM Fluctuator or Converter production.
- A Constructor at 100% clock consumes 120 SAM and makes 30 Reanimated SAM per minute.
- Plan extraction, transport, and ingot production around downstream demand.
Repeat, collect and use
Inspect miner output and delivery as consumers grow; increase the constrained part of the chain when SAM backs up or runs short.
Common mistakes
- Searching for Reanimated SAM at a node instead of mining raw SAM.
- Choosing a node without checking purity or whether it is accessible.
When to stop or switch
Stop expanding SAM extraction once the planned processing and conversion lines have a dependable feed.
