If you’re going to upgrade your gear in Slime Rancher 2, then one thing you’re going to need lots of is Radiant Ore. This is an early game material that will get you off the ground and expand your exploration potential. Thankfully, it’s not that hard to come by once you know where to look, so we’ll tell you where the best places to go searching for it are.

Slime Rancher 2 Radiant Ore locations
First thing first, before you can even harvest Radiant Ore you’ll need to get the Resource Harvester from the Fabricator in your basement. Thankfully, it’s very easy to get, as it just needs a handful of Cotton plorts and some money to make. Once you’ve got that, the best place to go looking is Ember Valley – which we have a guide on how to get to.
When you arrive, start looking at almost every rockface, as the spawning of nodes is random. You need to be on the lookout for nodes with metallic cubes poking out and then suck them up with your tool. Typically each node will provide two or three Radiant Ore. Its main use is to build the Jetpack, which will let you get to many more places across the game’s world, but as the game continues to expand and update, it may come in handy elsewhere, so keep some in storage.
