Ore Extractors are a game changer inThe Planet Crafter. While the ground is covered in mineralswhen the game starts, these minerals don’t come back as the player mines them. However, an Ore Extractor provides an infinite supply of new minerals.
However, it’s not always clear where players should put their Ore Extractors to get rare minerals. Not every location inThe Planet Crafterthat holds rare minerals works with Ore Extractors, and not every Ore Extractor can dig up rare minerals. That’s why it helps to know how these machines work and how players can get the best use out of them.

The Map Information Rocket
Players can find microchips throughout the chests and shipwrecks that dot the landscape inThe Planet Crafterand then decode them with the Blueprints Screen. This is how players get access to three GPS Rockets and the essential Map Information Rocket.
The GPS Rockets allow players to use the Mapping Screen and zoom out to different levels. The Mapping Information Rocket adds new symbols to this map, symbols that indicate where players can place T2 Ore Extractors to get rare minerals. As of Lore and Automation, this is what the map looks like:
Players can find rare minerals inmore locations than what this map indicates, but these are the places where Ore Extractors can get an infinite supply. Keep in mind that many of these locations are caves and tunnels rather than on the surface.
