Where to Find Aluminium in Planet Crafter

Aluminium can typically be found alongside Iridium in large caves. It’s a sharp, shiny metal that sticks directly out of the ground, so it shouldn’t be difficult to spot once you’re in the area. Look for large cave openings with sand coming down the side.

Since the caves will be a good distance from your base or landing zone, remember to take plenty of oxygen with you and at least one ration of food and water. We recommend taking at least 4 to 5 extra oxygen vials for your journey, depending on your oxygen tank level. Also, remember to empty your inventory before venturing out from your base so you can maximize your carrying capacity. 

Aluminum is used for a large variety of craftable items and builds. Here are just a few:
