Progress through the various tiers inSatisfactoryis fairly straightforward.

Collect new resources, build machines, rinse and repeat.

Aluminum falls into this category.

Satisfactory: Bauxite, aluminium scrap and raw aluminium ingots.

Here’s how to unlock, craft, and use the Zipline equipment in Satisfactory.

So if youre standing in your factory scratching your head, then dont worry.

Heres a helpful guide on how to farm Aluminum in Satisfactory.

Satisfactory: A neat stack of Aluminium ingots.

The first and most important thing you should put on your radar is the location of the closestBauxite Node.

Its theorange-to-red-looking rocksthat are often confused with the plentiful copper deposits aroundthe massive mapfrom a distance.

Next, youll needa supply of water and coal.

Satisfactory: A Bauxite node within a contained factory space.

The coal you might siphon off from anyCoal Power plants.

But the water is crucial as itmixes with the Bauxiteto start the whole process of further refinement into Aluminum.

This can be pumped in from anynearby water source or storage tanksif you have them.

Satisfactory: A raw piece of Bauxite sitting on a factory floor.

Prepare the necessary materials tobuild a Refinery and Foundryahead of time.

These are the two primary machines youll be using to farm Aluminum in Satisfactory.

The Coal is used to mix with other items and power machines.

Two Water Extractors generating water from a lake at night.

So its good to have a nice healthy supply.

Here’s how to get started with fluids in Satisfactory.

There arethree stages of productionthe materials have to cover, so well take you through it step-by-step.

Satisfactory: A fresh pile of Aluminium at the end of the refinement process.

These will bemaking Alumina Solution, which is the first step of the Aluminum production process.

you’ve got the option to stack them side by side for efficiency or lay it out separately.

For the inputs, youll besending in Bauxite and Water.

Satisfactory: The first step of breaking down Bauxite.

The outputs will beLiquid Alumina Solution and Silica.

So its a Pipe and Conveyor going out as well.

The Alumina youllneed for the next stepas it will be rendered into something useful.

Satisfactory: Bauxite being broken down within a Refinery.

On the inputs for the Refinery, youll be pumping in yourAlumina Solutionfrom the previous step and Coal.

This will be broken down in the machine intotwo byproductsonce more.

In this step, itsAluminum Scrap and Water.

Satisfactory: Combining Alumina solution with Coal.

So well be using a Conveyor and Pipe to pump those out.

But well behanging onto the Aluminum Scrapas thats going to be smelted down for the final step.

Here you justwire in a Conveyor with the Aluminum Scrapand another with Silica directly to the foundry.

Satisfactory: The outputs from the second step of Aluminium refinement.

After a few high-temperature smacks inside the Foundry, youll have Aluminum Ingots pouring out the other side.

So its very fast to churn out.

There are alsoalternate recipesfor Aluminum production that can befound in hard drivesscattered around the world.

Satisfactory: The final step of Aluminium refinement.

Lizard Doggos are a Pioneer’s best friend.

Here’s how to tame one in Satisfactory.

Satisfactory: Fresh Aluminium exiting a Foundry within a factory complex.

A Lizard Doggo with its tongue sticking out in the Grass Plains in Satisfactory.
