As a veteran Satisfactory player with countless hours spent scouring the game’s vast landscapes for precious resources, I can confidently say that the hunt for SAM ore has become my personal quest. With 19 resource nodes scattered across the map, it’s a challenge that keeps me coming back for more.
In the game “Satisfactory”, SAM (Strange Alien Matter) ore is incredibly valuable, used for constructing various buildings like the Alien Power Augmentor and Dimensional Depot Uploader. Here, I’ll guide you through all the locations of SAM ore in “Satisfactory”. These spots have been adjusted after the Patch 1.0.
