FAQs

Why can't I mine the astral Ore? ›

A Picksaw or a pickaxe of a higher power can mine it, but only if the Astrum Deus boss is defeated. Additionally, after Astrum Deus' defeat, Astral Slimes will begin to drop Astral Ore. Similarly to how Hellstone inflicts Burning, Astral Ore inflicts the Astral Infection debuff on contact.

You may mine the ore ( astral ore ) with a pickaxe axe/drax, yet you have to defeat Astrum Deus according to the wiki. The astral ore can be used to craft Astral Bars when you pair it up with stardust.

Conversely, blocks can be converted into their Astral Infection versions using Astral Solution. Only the meteor's initial impact will infect nearby tiles. Despite its name, the infection will not spread on its own, unlike Evil Biomes or The Hallow.

Astral Bars can also be obtained from the Astral Crate once Astrum Deus has been defeated without needing to mine Astral Ore.

You can actually mine anything with a stone pickaxe (besides bedrock) but only certain blocks will drop items. A stone pickaxe can mine (and drop items for) andesite, diorite, and granite. It can also mine stone, cobblestone, any stone brick variants, coal ore, iron ore, and any iron blocks.

Astrum Deus does not spawn on its own and can be summoned by using the Astral Beacon with a Titan Heart or Starcore in the inventory at night. Astrum Deus can be spawned even in early Hardmode with Titan Hearts, but the boss is intended to be fought after the Lunatic Cultist has been defeated.

The Nightmare Pickaxe, Deathbringer Pickaxe, Molten Pickaxe, and Reaver Shark are the only pre-Hardmode pickaxes able to mine Crimstone, Ebonstone, Hellstone and Obsidian. The Nightmare Pickaxe can only mine Dungeon Bricks that are at 0 depth or higher.

Astral Ore is immune to explosives, even after Astrum Deus is defeated. The Crystyl Crusher's beam can destroy Astral Ore before Astrum Deus is defeated.

Astral-infected blocks can be converted back to normal using Green Solution with a Clentaminator, however Purification Powder will also work.

It requires at least an Adamantite Pickaxe or Titanium Pickaxe to mine. It is also dropped by Cryo Slimes.

The Astral Beacon is a Hardmode furniture item that can be crafted or found naturally on a pillar of Astral Monolith after the Astral Infection has generated. When right-clicked during the night, it is used to summon Astrum Deus while a Titan Heart or Starcore is in the player's inventory.

Since v1. 2, there is a chance that your world will have all of its Gold Ore replaced with Platinum Ore during world generation, which will only allow you to craft Platinum Bars instead of Gold Bars. Those two ore types may look different, but their functionality is the same.
