Description

Aluminum is a refined element (ingot-form) created from Aluminum Ore using a Refinery.

Uses

Aluminum is used in the manufacturing of advanced equipment, including the nuclear reactor, strip miner, the Tech 3 Class 1 Ion Engine, and ACTR. Aluminum is also a key component in creating heatsinks using a 3D Printer.

Storage

Refined Aluminum is sealed into containment crates. Each containment crate can store up to 600 units of Aluminum.
