{{info|'''Uranium''' is one of the rarest [[materials]] in the game. It can be used to craft very powerful but slow [[Weapons#Melee weapons|blunt weapons]] (with the uranium [[mace]] being the most powerful blunt melee weapon in the base game), and it is also a required element in the construction of certain late-game high-tech constructions, most notably the end-game [[ship]].}}
While one of the strongest building materials available, it has a significantly lower [[beauty]] modifier which can negatively affect some room designs.

== Acquisition ==
Tiles of uranium ore can be found rarely throughout the map, but must be [[mine]]d before they can be used. Small amounts of it can be salvaged from deconstructing [[Ancient_cryptosleep_casket|ancient cryptosleep caskets]], or may randomly arrive in cargo pods. The most reliable method for acquiring it is to [[trade|purchase]] it from [[Trader#Bulk Goods Trader|bulk goods traders]]. Once you've completed the [[Research#Deep drilling|research]] necessary to construct a [[deep drill]], it can also be found in small deposits underground.

Playing in Large or Ludeonicrous maps (of 300x300 or 400x400 tiles respectively) offer greater chance of finding it on the surface.

== Ore ==
[[File:Uranium_ore.png|frameless|left|Uranium ore in game]]

'''Uranium ore''' tiles have 4,000 health, making them one of the slower ores to mine. They can be found in midsize veins, ranging from 6 to 12 tiles in size. Each mined block has a base yield of 40 uranium, however this is modified by factors such as the [[Difficulty]] setting and the [[Mining_Yield|mining yield]] of the pawn.

== Usage ==
Uranium's high hit point multiplier make it a useful material for [[walls]]. A wall created from Uranium has 750 hit points which makes it the second strongest constructed wall, stronger than any of the stone blocks and only beaten out by [[plasteel]]. This role was more important while plasteel was still flammable, as uranium was the strongest non-flammable wall, but even now it still has merit when an excess of uranium or dearth of plasteel is experienced. 

Uranium is also the best material for crafting [[stuff]]able blunt weapons such as [[club]]s and [[mace]]s, as it applies the highest [[Property:Melee Blunt Damage Factor|multiplier]] on melee blunt damage of any material, tied only with Jade (which can only be used with clubs), and only causes a [[Property:Melee Cooldown Factor|moderate increase]] in attack cooldown times. A high [[quality]] uranium mace is a respectable weapon at any stage of the game.

Uranium is used in the following crafting recipes:
