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 shrine#Ancient Cryptosleep Caskets|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.

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 also considered [[metallic]] [[stuff]], meaning it can be used in recipes that allow for any metal to be used, such as [[wall]]s or [[mace]]s.
 
 
There is no radiation mechanic in RimWorld. You can safely have pawns sleep in uranium [[bed]]s without any health effect.
 
 
== Analysis ==
 
Uranium is only required for a few late game recipes. Early on, it can be safely sold or used for weapons - you can always get more uranium later. If you are lacking uranium when you need it, then either the [[deep drill]] and [[ground-penetrating scanner]] combination, or the [[long-range mineral scanner]], are your best bets. Smaller amounts of uranium can also be obtained via [[trade]]. Varying quantities of uranium are commonly added to [[quest]] rewards to boost their value up to the minimum, which can result in huge amounts of uranium offered in the late-game.

A uranium mace can be crafted as soon as [[Research#{{Q|Mace|Required Research}}|{{Q|Mace|Required Research}}]] has been [[research]]ed, and is one of the best craftable melee weapons in the game.
 
 
Uranium's high hit point multiplier also make it a useful material for [[walls]], [[barricade]]s, and [[mini-turret]]s. 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, but even now it still has merit as there is usually significantly more demand for plasteel.
