Collecting resources is crucial in The Planet Crafter, and one of the most important materials you’ll need is Iridium. This resource is essential for building advanced machines and enhancing your terraforming projects. Its bright red crystals make it stand out, but finding them can be tough for beginners.
Iridium plays a key role in crafting high-tech equipment, like heaters that raise the planet’s temperature. You also use it to create Iridium Rods, which are vital for constructing Ore Extractors, devices that automate resource gathering. Knowing where to find Iridium and how to use it effectively is essential for advancing in the game and making your planet habitable.
Where to Find Iridium
The best places to find Iridium are caves, though some entrances may be tricky to discover. Treasure Crates and Golden Crates are scattered throughout the world and may contain valuable minerals, including Iridium.
Additionally, you can find Iridium near some Osmium and Sulfur deposits, as well as from Iridium meteor showers, which drizzle this resource across the landscape.
Tip: When you’re exploring, consider setting up small shelters with oxygen supplies at intervals. This allows you to travel longer distances without frequently using oxygen bottles.
Treasure Crates
Treasure crates, resembling standard storage containers, are hidden throughout the planet, often found in wrecks, bunkers, or partially buried in the terrain. These crates can hold a variety of resources, including Iridium, particularly as you unlock more advanced terraformation stages. Exploring different biomes and wreck sites carefully can yield these valuable treasures.
Tip: If you notice a sudden drop in your Iridium supply, check your automatic crafting devices. Making too many Iridium Rods can deplete your stock unexpectedly.
Iridium Caves
You can easily find Iridium in the cave known as the Iridium Mine, located at coordinates 815:51:1237. This cave features stone pillars covered in Iridium deposits, and you can enter it from the Central Plateau or the Sulfur Fields. Two other reliable spots include The Grand Rift to the north at coordinates 2027:3:-45, and an Osmium-Iridium cave near the Cracked Spires at coordinates 328:4:-181. As you make progress in the game, deploying Ore Extractors in these locations can help you maintain a steady supply of Iridium for your base.
Iridium Meteor Events
Meteor events offer another chance to collect Iridium. By launching a Magnetic Field Protection Rocket, which you can unlock at 345 kTi (Kilo Terraformation Index), you can initiate meteor showers that scatter Iridium across the ground.
These meteors usually land within a specific radius of your location, so it’s wise to be in an open area when launching the rocket. After the meteors land, the Iridium will remain accessible for a limited time, giving you a window to gather it before it disappears.
Warning: Be cautious, as meteors can cause significant damage if they hit you.
