Bauxite is a rare late-game ore found in the world. It is the raw ore of Aluminum, combining it with Water in a Refinery produces Alumina Solution for further processing.

Obtaining

Resource acquisiton

Bauxite can be harvested by hand (default E) in trace amounts from resource deposits scattered across the world, or from inexhaustible resource nodes on which Miners can be constructed to extract automatically. Additonally, Lizard Doggos will ocassionally bring it when tamed.

Items produced per minute

	Miner Mk.1	Miner Mk.2	Miner Mk.3
Impure	30	60	120
Normal	60	120	240
Pure	120	240	480

	Miner Mk.1	Miner Mk.2	Miner Mk.3
Impure	75	150	300
Normal	150	300	600
Pure	300	600	780

Number of Bauxite resource nodes is as follows:

Node purity	Number of nodes	Mk.3 mining rate	Mk.3 mining rate at 250 %
Impure	3	360	900
Normal	5	1200	3000
Pure	5	2400	6000
Total	13	3960	7800* / 9900

^*Note: The extraction rate of a Miner Mk.3 at 250 % is 1200/min, but a Mk.5 Conveyor can only carry 780/min, therefore the maximum mined amount cannot be transported.
