Progression in Empyrion - Galactic Survival requires players to farm many different resources to power their exploration, including the much sought-after ore, Erestrum. This particular material is essential in crafting mid- to high-tier items and structures. So, without further ado, here’s an Empyrion - Galactic Survival Erestrum Farming Guide to help you collect this resource efficiently.

Erestrum Location in Empyrion - Galactic Survival

It’s important to mention that players must search for Erestrum Ore before refining it to an Erestrum Ingot. Empyrion players can generally find Erestrum Ore on two planets: Aestus and Aitis. Additionally, you’ll have more opportunities to farm this material in Aitis than in Aestus. Finding Erestrum Ore in some asteroids is also possible, though the search can be strenuous. Once you land on either of these planets, search for bright-green deposits. Then, use a Drill to farm Erestrum Ore from those gathering points. Warning: Farming Erestrum in Empyrion - Galactic Survival is hazardous, as the material is radioactive. Only mine the ore while wearing protective gear. Use console commands (if possible) if you have a tough time collecting Erestrum efficiently.

Erestrum Ingot Crafting Requirements

After gathering a sufficient amount of Erestrum Ore, use a Constructor to refine the material into its ingot variant. Note that players must use 5x Erestrum Ore to yield 10x Erestrum Ingot. Additionally, you can use any Constructor, albeit higher-tier Constructors will transform Erestrum Ore to Erestrum Ingot faster than lower-tier units. In particular, using a Small Constructor takes 7 seconds to refine Erestrum Ore to Erestrum Ingot. Using a Large Constructor requires 5 seconds, while an Advanced Constructor only takes 3.5 seconds to complete each refinement task.

Erestrum Ingot Uses

The Empyrion - Galactic Survival Erestrum Ingot is a material used to craft three different items: the Power Coil, Zascosium Alloy, and Erestrum Gel. In particular, the Power Coil is a vital component for different crafting recipes, especially for vessel weapons like the Laser Rifle, Pulse Laser CV, and Rail Gun. With that, here are the crafting recipes in Empyrion wherein Erestrum Ingot is one of their main ingredients:

• Power Coil: 1x Flux Coil, 8x Zascosium Ingot, and 8x Erestrum Ingot
• Zascosium Alloy: 5x Zascosium Ingot and 5x Erestrum Ingot
• Erestrum Gel: 2x Erestrum Ingot
