Farm Aluminum in the easiest way possible!

Playing Starfield is fun as you explore axes, build outposts, and craft new items. But as you progress further, it can be a nuisance because you need more and more resources to build and craft. One such vital resource in space is Aluminum. The metal is a must for building outposts and crafting item recipes. And we don’t need to mention how crucial outposts can become in the later parts of the game.

While Aluminum itself isn’t so hard to acquire, it can be a problem when you need it considerable amounts. Buying them to meet demands isn’t an acceptable option as they cost a lot and are only found in small batches. So, to stash Aluminum and have a constant supply of them, you’ll need to farm. This guide will present you with the best way to farm Aluminum in Starfield to help you build outposts and store items as much as you like.

You can acquire Aluminum by mining planets that have the metal present in them. After finding a suitable planet, land on it and search for Aluminium ores using your scanner. Then, use your Hellers cutter to mine the metals. You can also purchase them from vendors in major cities like New Atlantis. 

To firm Aluminum, you’ll need to search out planets that have the metal present in abundance. When surfing through solar systems, survey the planets and moons and look for any detection of the metal(presented in the info bar). Planets like Thalassa(Olympus system) and Porrima III (Porrima system) are the most suitable for farming Aluminum.

After you have selected a planet:

  1. Land on it and search for the best site using your scanner.
  2. Look for spots that have the most amount of Aluminum.
  3. After deciding on a site, put an Outpost beacon.
  4. After that, plant an Aluminum Extractor on the spot.
