How to Find Extractiums in Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader

You can obtain additional Extractiums by purchasing them from traders or by completing certain projects in your colonies. There are also several planetary events and decisions that will reward you with these items.

Mobile extraction dealer

A limited number of Mobile Extractiums can be purchased from Optikon-22, a vendor for the Adeptus Mechanicus faction. The resource is available from the very beginning. However, you must have at least 35 profit factor units. You can learn more about Profit Factor and other suppliers in our Trade and Reputation guide.

Projects in the colonies

Most extracts in Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader can be obtained through some colony projects in the first few hours of the campaign. This can be done already in the second act. Just be patient

How and where to use mobile extraction machines

As mentioned earlier, you shouldn't waste extracts from the very beginning of the game. There are several planets in different star systems on which different resources can be mined. Save the device for planets that have a lot of these resources. For example, you can find a world with +2 Adamantium, and installing extractium there is completely optional. Instead, be patient until you find a planet that can have +10 to +12 Adamantium.
