Pure Ore Nodes are something that you will need to consistently farm as you make your way to the later stages of Satisfactory. Irrespective of the location you are starting the game in you will eventually reach a point where you will need to have a much better supply of resources to help your advanced machinery keep working.
These Pure Nodes help you get the best yield, however, finding them is much harder than it seems. Here is a guide that goes over every Pure Node in Satisfactory and the best spot to farm them.
What are Pure Nodes in Satisfactory?
Ore nodes in Satisfactory come in three different purity levels:
- Impure
- Normal
- Pure
When using your Miner Mk.1 on an Impure Node you will receive 30 of the resource per minute. On Normal Nodes you will get 60 and on Pure Nodes you will gain 120.
The values are even higher with Miner Mk.3, so to gain maximum yield, you will need to target Pure Nodes.
Best Node locations for all Pure Ores in Satisfactory
| Pure Ore Node | Best farming coordinates | Ore Use |
|---|---|---|
| Limestone | -2255,-1295 Look for the ore in areas towards the northwest corner of the map. | Limestone is used to make Concrete for your factory. |
| Iron | 2866,-1868 Look for pure iron ore nodes towards the northeast corner of the map | Iron is used to craft almost everything in Satisfactory. |
| Coal | 1020,-491 The central part of the map is the best place to get Coal. | Coal is used to smelt items. You will also need it to power Coal Generators as well as Vehicles. |
| Copper | 1763, 131 Best place to get Pure Copper Ore will be to the east of the map. | Copper ore is used to make Copper Ingots which are then used to craft wires and cables for powering up your factory in the early stages of the game. |
| Caterium | -1256, 2196 Caterium ores are found in abundance towards the southwest corner of the map | Caterium is primarily used to make Nitrogen Gas or Caterium Ingots of various qualities |
| Sulfur | 2178,-2988 Sulfur is very rare and to properly farm it you will need to head to the northeast part of the map. | Sulfur helps you make Black Powder and Compacted Coal. Compacted Coal will help you run more Coal Generators together. |
| Bauxite | 2245, 138 Bauxite notes are spread throughout the map. They are the hardest to farm, but you will have an easier time getting them if you head to the west section of the map. | Bauxite is primarily used in the later stages of the game. You use it to make Aluminia which then makes Aluminum Ingots that can be used to make Lifts and advanced Conveyor Belts. |
| Raw Quartz | -1381, 168 To acquire Raw Quartz properly you will need to head northwest. | Quartz is used to create advanced devices in the late game. It will also let you create Silica which is used in making other electronics as well as glass structures. |
| SAM | SAM Ores are found all throughout the map. | You will not need to farm this resource as you will only need a SAM Ore for a story purpose. |
