Ore Locations & Farming Guide

The backbone material — refined into Ingots for almost everything you build.

Ore is mined from ore nodes across the Palpagos Islands. Turn it into Ingots in a Furnace, then into Refined Ingots with Coal. You will never stop needing it.

Farming tips

  • Build an Ore Mining Site on a node-rich spot and assign a Digtoise or other high Mining Pal.
  • A dedicated ore base (2nd base) near a cluster of nodes pays off all game.
  • Site II produces faster — upgrade as soon as you can.
