Aluminum on Humble?

[SlydeRule]

On Humble, I have launched the tier 4 mapping rocket and I can see mining hot spots for every ore except aluminum. Has anyone else found it?

You need to crush Bauxite down to get Aluminum on Humble

To piggy back on this. I haven't unlocked drones yet on Humble, but I assume I can setup of T2/T3 extractors to mine dolomite, bauxite, and uraniumite, then have drones transport those items to the ore crushers?

Yes, you can.

for whatever reason , i prefer the t3 drills for normal mats , the crushers are somewhat pointless in my regard , they clog with nonsense like silicon and iron/dolomite and i have to discard it into a volcano to get rid of it , would prefer the normal aluminium on the map so i can ignore the 3 new ores completely

I prefer to think of this problem in this way, all planets are different they will certainly have different metals, ores etc and in different concentrations. Different techniques and equipment will be required to terraform them. I love the idea that this new game is not a straight copy of the base planet. New things to be learned, new production chains to be sorted out it keeps the game from being boring, well to me at least. There are quite a few things in this game that are different from the base game and it has been a joy to uncover them and also see things happen that did not occur in the base game. Just enjoy the game.

You can fix this issue by using drone priorities. Set a priority of 5 to the containers used by your autocrafters. A priority of 4 to your storage then a 1 2 or 3 to the shredder set on automatic. This was the resources to first to your autocrafter containers then to your storage and the excess materials are destroyed.

It is kind of crazy that you end up shredding excess stuff that used to be hard to get like super alloy just to keep the crushers from clogging up. You've got to shred a lot of good stuff to keep iridium flowing.

[neo5apien]

Could run that super alloy through a recycler to get the aluminum or whatever common ore you want out of it.

You can use explosives to blow up the pods on the rock terraces on the way to the sulphur fields - you can get aluminium that way, if you can't find enough bauxite
