Aluminum on Humble

[Pelargonia58]

Has anyone found a reliable source of aluminum or bauxite on Humble?

Seen from landing site behind you there is kind of the end of the world. On the left side you'll find ice. On the right side opposite of the sulfur field you'll find bauxite.
You won't find much aluminium.

From your pod, go straight and you'll see a pair of hangars and a round platform between them. If you turn slightly to the right, you'll see an uphill area past a rock archway with tan-colored ground and dark large rocks. There's lots of bauxite there, and some naturally-occuring aluminum.

DO NOT break all of the bauxite, though! Save 3 of them as you'll need them to build a machine later.

They are sometimes found in blue chests, as well.

You can also just wait for meteorites; those have aluminum too. Ideally, you'll want to try to get some TI generators up before you do any waiting, you really need to speedrun the Atmospheric Water Collector and 2-3 food growers ASAP. Thankfully if you explore the areas near the hangars, you'll see several free T2 Solar panels you can deconstruct and rebuild for energy.

Just got my ore miners, plopped one in the location mentioned above, and it's mining up bauxite as well. With the ore breaker, that turns into alluminum (with tier 3 rock breaker, I usually get 2-3 alluminum from one bauxite.)

I love the idea of unlocking the ore miner and digging up Saturnite for infinite iridium/uranium/alloy, lol.

So much so that I wish we could do that on Prime, lol.
