This guide will tell you where to find Iridium in The Planet Crafter<\/strong> — and how it lets you take heating and mining to the next level.<\/p>\n

What is Iridium Used for in The Planet Crafter?<\/h2>\n

Iridium is one of the components of Explosive Powder<\/strong>, a mid-to-late game Crafting<\/strong> resource. More importantly, it is also used to make Iridium<\/strong> Rods, an important item for building higher-tier Heating machines for Terraforming. Iridium<\/strong> is also needed for Ore Extractors<\/strong> — a highly useful Building that lets you automate collecting ore.<\/p>\n

You can get more Iridium<\/strong> from Asteroids falling onto the planet once you’ve unlocked the Launch Platform<\/strong> and launched the appropriate rocket. However, you can get an infinite supply with the right kind of Ore Extractor<\/strong> in the proper location, saving you from having to rely on the randomness of falling rocks from the sky.<\/p>\n
