Slime Rancher 2 starts precisely from where the first Slime Rancher left off. This latest installment of this title gives you a lot more of the same while at the same time introducing new things and upgrades into the mix. You can interact with new slimes and craft various items absent in the first Slime Rancher game.
To craft the items present in the game, there are a few things that you are going to need. The Resource Refinery and the Upgrade fabricator are the first things that spring to mind. These can be found in the underground lab next to the Plort Market.
You may also need Plorts from various Slimes, Newbucks from treasure pods, or by selling Plorts at the Plort market, and various materials that can only be found in certain places around the map. One of these materials is Lava dust which is sought after for many upgrades in the game.
Getting Lava Dust is not straightforward, so I will explain How to Get Lava Dust In Slime Rancher 2.
How To Get Lava Dust In Slime Rancher 2
Before going into how to get Lava Dust In Slime Rancher 2, the first thing I will be getting into is getting the resource harvester. Many resources are available to you in Slime Rancher 2, and you may have even stumbled upon them.
Still, you will be unable to get them without the resource harvester upgrade, which is why I will first explain how to get them.
There are two things that you need to unlock the resource harvester. These two things are 450 Newbucks and 10 cotton plorts. Newbucks are the currency in the game, making them very easy to get.
You can get Newbucks by either selling Plorts you obtain from slimes in the Plort market or by rummaging through treasure pods.
You can find treasure pods almost everywhere on Rainbow Island, so go on and explore it to have your share of newbucks with you.
The next thing you are going to need is 10 cotton plorts. Plorts are the by-product produced by slimes when you feed them. You can find cotton slimes in many places around the world.
All you need to do is provide them a carrot, and they will give you a plort. If you feed them water lettuce instead, they will produce two cotton plorts.
Once you have 450 newbucks and 10 cotton plorts with you, head back to the base and the plort market. Sell any extra plorts that you have in your inventory.
Go left towards the stairs into the underground lab, where you should see the upgrade fabricator and the resource refinery. Shoot the 10 cotton plorts into the resource refinery and go to the upgrade fabricator.
Select the resource harvester and craft it. Once you are done with that, you can start your journey to find and harvest some lava dust.
To get some Lava Dust, you need to go to the area where you can find some lava. This place is Ember Valley. Here is how you get to Ember Valley.
First, you will go to the conservatory and start your journey toward the northwest. Once you have made the trip, you will find a pink Slime Gordo.

This Gordo is sitting on a Geyser which you will need to make your way to Ember Valley. To get rid of this Gordo, you will need to feed it 30 carrots or 15 water lettuce, which will make it pop and turn into tiny slimes.
After you have popped it, the geyser is going to be revealed. Positioning yourself on top of this geyser will launch you up to a ledge where you should see a button.
Pressing that button is going to open a portal that is going to send you to Ember valley. Besides Lava Dust, you can find other resources here that are unique to this area, including Boom Slime, Batty Slime, Crystal Slime, Fire Slime, Briar hen, and Odd Onion.
To get Lava Dust, go to the far side of Ember Valley, where you can find a sea of Lava. You should see geysers overflowing with Lava Dust on the shore of this Lava Sea. Point your resource harvester towards it to get some Lava Dust.
Final Verdict:
Here is everything you need to know about how to get your hands on Lava dust. This rare resource can only be found in specific areas of the map. However, to get this, you need a resource harvester.
To craft this item, you can get the resource harvester by using 10 cotton plorts and 450 newbucks in the upgrade fabricator. Once you have this item, you can move on to the Ember Valley to get some Lava Dust.
