WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Prime extraction zones at HUD coordinates 586:35:-669 or 1782:22:1940.

Uranium extraction requires T2 or higher; T1 cannot mine it. Two Prime deposits are identified for this route. Place a powered T2 or T3 extractor in one of those zones and verify the target in the build interface. T2 also outputs basic ores, so include output management in the plan. Uranium Rods can then support Nuclear Reactor construction.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

Ore Extractor T2 or T3 and its build materials.
Power for the extractor.
Oxygen, water, and inventory space for the remote trip.
Storage or a plan to clear basic ores if using T2.

Choose one listed Uranium zone and travel to it using HUD coordinates.
Open the extractor placement preview within the zone and confirm Uranium is an available output.
Place a powered T2 or T3 Ore Extractor.
If using T2, return periodically to collect Uranium and clear basic ores from its output.
Store Uranium for the rod recipe and check the in-game crafting requirements.
Use Uranium Rods toward Nuclear Reactor construction to support additional power demand.

Farming tips

T1 is insufficient for Uranium; do not travel to the deposit with only a basic extractor.
A falling Uranium meteor is another possible source, but this route uses a named extraction zone.

Repeat, collect and use

A powered extractor provides continuing supply. Production pauses when the machine’s storage is full, so collect or clear output regularly.

Common mistakes

Using T1: bring T2 or T3 for Uranium.
Assuming T2 produces Uranium alone: manage its basic ore output too.
Building the extractor without enough power: make sure the site can sustain the machine.
