As is the case with most survival games, you’ll need to farm for multiple different resources if you’re hoping to survive the perilous open-world in Once Human. One such resource that isn’t too hard to find, but isn’t accessible until later in your server’s season, is Aluminum Ore.

Where to farm Aluminum Ore in Once Human
In my experience, Aluminum Ore is found in abundance across the Red Sands and Chalk Peak regions of the New World. Here, you won’t just find Aluminum, but Tungsten, Copper, and in Red Sands, you can find Gold Ore too.
Aluminum Ore in Once Human is very similar in appearance so Tin Ore, Silver Ore, and Tungsten Ore. It appears as a stone node with silver outcrops, but is much brighter than Tungsten.

While it can be troublesome identifying the ore given how much it resembles other ores in the game, this isn’t much of a problem once you know where to farm for it and have seen it a few times.

To then farm Aluminum Ore, you will need a Steel Pickaxe at minimum. To craft one, you will need to unlock the Forging Techniques and Steel Pickaxes Memetic from Tier 3 of the Infrastructure tab in your Memetics menu.
