Uranium
Uranium is a rare late-game resource found in the world. It is involved in the Uranium Fuel Rod production, and gives off radiation.
Obtaining
Resource acquisition
Uranium 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.

Resource Node location
Grass Fields cave node
Located in the long tunnel connecting the northern most and lowest of the grasslands to the high northern and upper part of the Eastern Dune Forest. Small groups of Small Stingers guard both ends of the tunnel, each group guarding a Power Slug there.
The node is located inside a large cavern in the middle of the tunnel. This cavern contains a large group of Small Stingers guarding a Power Slug on a cliff and an Elite Stinger guarding the node itself, with an additional Large Stinger in the tunnel when approaching from the north.
Swamp cave node
Located behind the large waterfall in the swamp. Ground level access to the cave is located on the right side, guarded by a few Flying Crab Hatchers. Several Uranium deposits line this entrance to the cavern.
Numerous Stingers are in the cave, including an Elite Stinger guarding the node itself. Further back in the cave is a second Elite Stinger guarding a Purple Power Slug. This is an impure node.
Red Jungle node
Located in a small depression in the center of the Red Plateau, near center of the eastern half of the Red Jungle.
This node is heavily guarded by two Large Stingers and three Baby Stingers at the node itself. In addition to those at the node itself there is another Large Stinger on a small plateau just north of the node guarding a Purple Power Slug, and two Elite Stingers and a Large Stinger through a small tunnel west of the node guarding a plateau with a Mercer Sphere on top.
Rocky Desert node
Located on top of the tallest natural peak in the map, on the top of a rocky spire in the northeastern part of the Rocky Desert, along with a purple Power Slug, requiring considerable vertical scaling to reach.
While this node is unguarded, there is a crash site on the plateu below with three Flying Crab Hatchers and and Alpha Hog. This is an impure Uranium Node.
Dune Desert Node
Located on top of the large plateau west of the Dune Desert starting area, on the west side of the large pool of water. This node is guarded by two Nuclear Hogs and two Alpha Spitter, though one technically guards a nearby blue power slug. Several Uranium Deposits are by the node and line the ground path up the plateau. This is an impure Uranium Node.

Trivia
- Tamed Lizard Doggos can bring Uranium at any game stage. Unlike Uranium Waste, it can be safely disposed to the trash slot without picking it up.
- Deposits of Uranium can be found in clusters, mainly in end-game areas such as Red Bamboo Fields and around some Crash Sites.
