Locating and Safely Mining Radioactive Corrodium Ore

Searching Warm Overworld Biomes

Corrodium Ore is a hazardous alien mineral that spawns naturally in dry, warm climates across the Overworld. Search both underground caves and surface exposures in the following biomes:

• Desert
• Savanna and Savanna Plateau
• Badlands and Eroded Badlands

Corrodium deposits stand out due to their distinct glowing purple appearance. In addition to naturally generated veins, alien meteorite structures that crash into the terrain can also expose exotic minerals in surrounding areas.

Mining Corrodium Safely

Corrodium Ore emits harmful radiation effects that will quickly weaken or kill an unprotected player. Follow these steps to harvest it safely:

1. Equip a full suit of protective Plumber Armor before entering the area. The armor shields you from all ambient radiation damage.

2. Clear away any ambient fire or hazardous terrain around the ore deposit.

3. Mine the Corrodium Ore using an Iron Pickaxe or a higher-tier pickaxe. Lower-tier pickaxes cannot safely harvest the block.

Once mined, collect the Corrodium and store it safely in your inventory for processing in a Recycler machine.
