Route cards
Anchor the run
Treat Lifepod as the zero-point for a repeatable north route.
- Head north toward Old Habitat and ruined cave landmarks.
- Use the same corridor every run until the route is memorized.
- Avoid random shallow scanning once the cave path is known.
Collect fast
Short cave loops beat one long wandering trip.
- Prioritize cave pockets under overhangs.
- Carry a med kit and spare battery before leaving.
- Exit once your silver target is met.
Expand later
After the first loop, fold silver into mixed route farming.
- Add lead on the same route when you can spare time.
- Come back later for blueprint runs.
- Do not overstay just because one more node is visible.

Where to Find It
- Use Lifepod as anchor, then push north toward Old Habitat/ruin landmarks.
- Prioritize cave openings under overhangs; this is where guides consistently report silver pockets.
- Bring med kit and spare battery before each run to avoid reset trips.
How to Use It
- Do short, repeatable cave loops instead of one long expedition.
- Track one objective per trip: silver-only, then mixed silver+lead, then blueprint run.
- When cave loop is depleted, continue mission progression and rotate back after exploration.
