FAQ

What resources are needed for the first tools?

The tutorial points to titanium for the pruner, chisel, and trowel. Check the current blueprint for exact quantities rather than copying a video.

Do early mineral deposits respawn?

Multiple videos show previously collected deposits appearing again after in-game time passes, but final respawn rules and timing require release-build verification.

Where should I collect early minerals?

Start near the landing pod and follow the marked resource-rich route across the river or through the opened stone passage. The early cave-like route repeatedly shows titanium, copper, silver, graphite, magnetite, and bauxite. Carry only what the next blueprint needs until a nearby locker is available.

Use the starting area map to connect each deposit with a landmark. The first base guide shows why copper, silver, titanium, and graphite become bottlenecks during the first construction sequence.

Resource	Early progression role	Route clue
Titanium	First tools and later machinery	Initial route and upper paths
Copper	Wiring kits and electrical components	River-side and cave deposits
Silver	Filters and early equipment	Side passage in the resource route
Graphite	Carbon fiber and construction	Cave and upper deposits
Magnetite	Drone-builder progression	Cave-side mapped deposits
Bauxite	Multi-room construction	Near the base and downriver

How should I manage resource weight?

The shown inventory uses a weight limit rather than unlimited carrying. Early deposits are abundant enough to tempt over-collection, but a full inventory can prevent you from taking food or medical items. Store surplus in a locker within the relevant crafting station’s operating range.

Several videos show deposits returning after enough in-game time. Because the exact timer is not confirmed, plan around currently available resources rather than assuming an immediate refill. For safe supplies, see the early flora and food guide.
