Before you start collecting some of the late-game materials, you need a healthy stash of Aluminum Ore ready for use. Here’s the best Aluminum farm in Once Human.
How to Farm Aluminum Ore in Once Human

Go to the northern border of the Iron River to easily farm Aluminum Ore nodes in Once Human. When you head to the northern border, you should remain near the greenery and mountains just before the vast sea of sand further ahead. On the other side of the border is Red Sands, and you can still find the same metal in that area, but there will be tons of Tungsten to deal with as well. For that reason, the border of both zones is one of the best spots I have found for seemingly unlimited nodes.
Ahead of the search for Aluminum Ore, you need to have a Steel Pickaxe to farm the metal at all. Once you have the Steel Pickaxe, head to the border of Red Sands and Iron River. Both sides of the border will have plenty of spawns and you can move east or west to maximize the number of nodes you find. If you feel like you’ve picked through all the metal for the time being, there is always the option of Chalk Peak. Areas that are level 20 or above are really what you need. If you’re in the Chalk Peak area, you might want to farm for the Lethal Rabbit Deviant, too.
To maximize what you collect, mining operations are always an option as well. At the end of the Memetic tree for harvesting, you can craft a level three Ore Detector and the ability to build operations. This then allows anyone to search zones for the metal ores they need and then let your machines passively collect them. It won’t be as much as you get by farming Aluminum Ore yourself, but it can make the whole process much faster.
Once Human is available to play now.
