So you've reached the point in the game where you are looking to start crafting some awesome stuff, maybe your Mk4 weapons, armor or of course the hallowed ornithopter, and you realise that you're going to need a lot of Aluminum Ore.
Fear not, for this resource is actually very easy to farm, once you have the right tools, and when you know where you are going.
First of all, in order to mine Aluminum Ore at all, you are going to need a Cutteray Mk3, which has to be crafted in the Survival Fabricator. Once you have that fabricated and equipped, you're ready to rock (sorry but great pun).
Where to Farm Aluminum Ore
The best place to go to farm Aluminum Ore in Dune Awakening is the Eastern Shield Wall. This lovely little area is going to provide you with so much Aluminum Ore, you'll be wondering what to do with it all. You can see the entrance to the area we'll be looking at marked on the map below (if approaching from the ground).
All of the pathways that lead through the cliffs and around the top of the cliffs contain a lot of Aluminum ore so it shouldn't take you long to fill up your inventory and bike or buggy storage.
Pro Tip: Combine this farming route with our Diamondine Dust farming guide & route, which is located just a minute or so west of this location.
Hope this helps!
