WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Original-map Atlantum veins, including Strata 5 at X138/Y122 and multiple later-strata sites.
Atlantum is found in later strata, where the resource index lists veins and identifies Mining Drill MKII or Blast Drill as extraction options. It also notes that the veins are protected by a Genode shell and that Mining Charges drop Atlantum Ore when used on the shell. Because the available route details do not establish a guaranteed shell-breaking method or a fixed ore yield, first reach and inspect a listed site, then use the in-game result to decide whether it can supply your factory.
Mining Drill MKII or Blast Drill for automated extraction.
Mining Charges and the current in-game Mining Charge instructions for interacting with the Genode shell.
Choose a listed Atlantum vein in a stratum you can reach; the original-map index includes Strata 5 at X138/Y122 and sites in later strata.
Travel to the marked area and verify the green deposit and its Genode shell before hauling in factory equipment.
Bring Mining Charges and use their in-game instructions at the shell. Confirm the shell’s response before planning further extraction; the index reports ore drops from charge use but does not establish that every shell can be cleared this way.
Collect any Atlantum Ore made available by the charge interaction and keep it separate from other ores.
If the vein becomes accessible, place a Mining Drill MKII or Blast Drill on it, following the machine’s placement and input requirements.
Supply the drill and move its output to a dedicated container or smelter using logistics available at that point in your campaign.
Check the receiving recipe or task and route the ore or processed Atlantum to that specific use.
Farming tips
A regular Mining Drill is not listed as an Atlantum extraction option; prepare one of the listed higher-tier miners for an accessible vein.
Treat shell interaction and ongoing vein extraction as separate steps, and avoid assuming a set charge yield or vein quantity.
Repeat, collect and use
Continue at an accessible vein while it has ore. Veins are finite; when one is exhausted, move to another listed site. Shell interaction is a site-access step, and its result should be confirmed in game.
Common mistakes
Planning a full mine on the assumption that charges are guaranteed to break the shell: test the interaction and confirm access first.
Bringing only a regular Mining Drill: use Mining Drill MKII or Blast Drill for automated Atlantum extraction.
Assuming a fixed ore yield or respawning deposit: the index gives locations and methods, not quantities or replenishment.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the accessible vein is depleted or your Atlantum stock covers the current recipe or task; use another listed vein if you still need supply.
