Ore automation
Mine Uranium for Nuclear Reactor power
Establish Uranium supply for rods used in Nuclear Reactor construction.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Mine Uranium for Nuclear Reactor power
Prime extraction zones at HUD coordinates 586:35:-669 or 1782:22:1940.
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.
Farming steps
- 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.
- 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.
When to stop or switch
Continue while Uranium Rods or reactor expansion are useful; pause or remove the extractor if power or storage management outweighs current demand.
