Overview
- Scan two Habitat Builders at colony ruins like the Welcome Center southeast of the Lifepod to unlock base construction in the fabricator.
- Silver for your first air tank piles up in cave systems north of the Lifepod near the Old Habitat ruins.
- Lead spawns in ravines near the Cicada wreck to the northeast and lets you craft the Sonic Resonator.
- Lithium is first reachable inside The Great Jaw using the Sonic Resonator, then in hot caves by the Tadpole Pens after you gain Heat Tolerance.
- For steady base power, build near natural currents to place Hydroelectric Turbines once unlocked, since solar panels weaken at night.
