In RimWorld: Odyssey, ancient stockpiles are hidden underground caches containing valuable resources. To retrieve items, you must manually authorize hauling by interacting with the bunker’s entrance—colonists won’t automatically collect these goods.
Step-by-Step Guide to Looting
-
Pawns will haul the selected loot automatically once undrafted
-
Choose what items to bring with you
-
Click “Leave”

Select the entrance structure
Colonists prioritize hauling if they’re undrafted and unrestricted by zoning rules. Double-check hauling permissions and task priorities if items aren’t being moved.
