Uranium Ore is a Metal Ore found in the Radioactive Biome.

It melts into Liquid Uranium, which, in turn, solidifies to Depleted Uranium.

Usage

• The Radiation Lamp and Manual Radbolt Generator require Uranium Ore in order to function.
• Uranium Ore can be mined for half the value of the original tile. This mined ore can then be enriched at 10% the value using the Uranium Centrifuge.
• Uranium Ore can be mined naturally using a Beeta Hive for 90% of the value of the tile over time.

Production

It can be harvested on rocket missions to renewable Space POIs:

• In Radioactive Asteroid Fields or Radioactive Gas Clouds at a rate of 9.1 – 36.4 kg per cycle.

History

• U37-483944: Uranium Ore now requires "Superhard Digging" instead of "Super-Duperhard Digging."
• EX1-458490: Added Uranium Ore ambience sounds. Updated Uranium item and UI artwork.
• EX1-455425: Added.
