RimWorld Odyssey Ancient Stockpile Guide
Written by Andrew Hammel
Ancient stockpiles in RimWorld: Odyssey are underground bunkers filled with rare loot, but getting the items to the surface isn’t automatic. To haul the gear out, you need to select the entrance and click the "leave" button. This allows non-drafted pawns to carry selected items back above ground without needing direct orders.
Here’s how to loot ancient stockpiles properly and what to expect inside.
How to Haul Items from an Ancient Stockpile
After entering an ancient stockpile:
Select the entrance structure
Click “Leave”
Choose what items to bring with you
Pawns will haul the selected loot automatically once undrafted
You don’t need to micromanage it. As long as the pawns are free and able to carry, they’ll do the job.
If they aren't moving anything, make sure they aren’t drafted, and check if the items are allowed under your hauling or zone restrictions.
What Kind of Loot to Expect
Ancient stockpiles contain random loot, including:
Advanced components
Chemfuel, uranium, or steel
High-tier weapons and armor
Gravlite panels or gravcore (if quest-based)
Rare devices or drugs
Crates, traps, and sealed containers
Some bunkers may look empty at first. Always check the walls for hidden rooms or sealed doors. Some entrances are blocked, bugged, or manually sealed behind a breakable wall.
Multiple stockpiles can appear on the same map if the quest includes them.
Tips for Exploring Ancient Stockpiles
Bring construction or mining tools to break sealed walls
Look for shelves, hatches, or blocked passageways
If your quest says “stockpiles” plural, expect more than one
Not all loot is visible right away, so check all rooms
Use transport animals or shuttles if the haul is large
It’s also normal for one of the bunkers to have most of the important items, while others hold traps or filler loot.
Final Blurb
Ancient stockpiles in RimWorld: Odyssey are some of the best places to get rare gear, but they take extra steps to clear. Use the leave button at the entrance to haul loot, and search every corner for hidden storage rooms. If you rush, you might miss the real prize, or worse, walk into a drone trap without backup.
