Aluminum Ore is a Metal Ore found in abundance in the Forest Biome. It has the highest heat capacity and conductivity among naturally occurring metal ores.

Usage

• Aluminum Ore can be used to build various buildings and power wires.
• Metal Refinery can produce Aluminum from Aluminum Ore with 100% efficiency.
  • 100 kg Aluminum Ore = 100 kg Aluminum.
• Rock Crusher can produce Aluminum from Aluminum Ore too. This is not recommended due to lower efficiency of 50%.
  • 100 kg Aluminum Ore = 50 kg Aluminum + 50 kg Sand.
• Stone Hatches can eat Aluminum Ore and excrete Coal. It will increase the chance of laying Smooth Hatch eggs.
• Smooth Hatches can eat Aluminum Ore and excrete Aluminum at 75% mass conversion.

Production

• It can be harvested on rocket missions to renewable Space POIs:
  • In Frozen Ore Asteroid Fields at a rate of 127.4 – 382.3 kg per cycle.
  • In Forested Ore Fields at a rate of 54 – 162 kg per cycle.
• from a Aluminum Volcano, spewing Molten Aluminum.

History

• LU-357226: Hatch diets now include Aluminum Ore
