Where to get Aluminum
Here are all the places you can acquire Aluminum:
- Dismantle metallic junk items.
- In the Flatwoods, you can farm Aluminum from the fertile soil.
- Mountainous and hilly regions are good spots for finding Aluminum.
- Appalachia is pock-marked with mineral veins and deposits. You can harvest Aluminum straight from them, or construct a resource generator to mine the deposits continuously.
Make sure you go ahead and use the “Tag for Search” feature when on the hunt for materials like Aluminum. It’ll place a magnifying glass icon next to the items you’re after, so any time you encounter those tagged components out in the wild, you’ll be alerted by the same icon.
