Bauxite is a bright orange sedimentary rock that contains high amounts of aluminium. It is one of the three main mineral deposits that can be found in the world.

Unlike hematite and malachite, which can just be refined in the crucible using flux, bauxite has a much more complicated and expensive refining process, requiring multiple machines and resources. However, refining it fully can yield up to 7 ingots of aluminium.

Uses

Bauxite itself only has one recipe, which involves dissolving it in lye using an industrial mixer to make bauxite solution.
