RimWorld Odyssey Underground Bunkers and Stockpiles Guide
Written by Alec Blackwood
RimWorld Odyssey’s underground bunkers are some of the most rewarding, dangerous, and easy-to-miss areas in the game. These ancient stockpiles are packed with rare items, but nothing moves to the surface automatically. If you don’t use the right system, your colonists won’t haul anything out.
Here’s how to loot underground stockpiles properly, what kind of gear you’ll find inside, and why the “Leave” button matters more than you think.
How to Loot Underground Bunkers
When your pawns enter an underground stockpile:
Select the entrance object
Click “Leave”
Choose which items you want to take back
Undrafted pawns will auto-haul everything you selected
You don’t need to assign anything manually. As long as they’re not drafted and have hauling enabled, they’ll do it on their own. If nothing moves, check your hauling zones or pawn status.
The “Leave” menu is the only way to remove loot from underground spaces. Without it, your pawns will treat the bunker like a sealed off-world map.
What to Expect Inside
Each underground bunker is different, but they often contain:
Advanced components
Uranium, steel, chemfuel
High-tier ranged weapons and armor
Gravcore parts and gravlite panels
Rare loot like boosters, devices, or banned items
Sealed crates and containers
Hidden traps or blocked hallways
Some bunkers appear empty at first. Always check walls for hidden rooms, sealed passageways, or camouflaged doors. If a bunker has no visible loot, break walls or scan the layout. The best rewards are often buried behind fake walls or locked rooms.
How to Handle Multiple Bunkers
If your quest mentions “stockpiles,” expect more than one. You might get two or three bunkers scattered across the map. One usually holds the real loot, while others have decoys, traps, or filler resources.
Use the map edge, the shuttle system, or transport pods to get loot out faster if you're deep underground or far from your ship.
Tips for Underground Exploration
Bring miners or builders to break through blocked rooms
Use the Leave menu right away before your pawns wander
Watch for sealed doors and fake walls
Look for shelves, wall panels, or hatches
Draft and undraft to reset confused haulers
Use shuttles or animals for larger loot hauls
Stockpiles vary wildly. Sometimes you’ll leave with grav-tech, sometimes just a dozen dead drones and an empty crate.
Final Blurb
RimWorld Odyssey’s underground stockpiles are essentially puzzles. If you skip the Leave button or ignore wall seams, you’ll miss the good stuff entirely. Treat every bunker like a layered map, and dig into every room before calling it cleared. The deeper the trap, the better the prize.
