Boss gates and automation
Scarlet Boulder Extraction
A Scarlet boulder provides a finite but substantial automated supply for making more Drills and other Scarlet-tier crafts.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Scarlet Boulder Extraction
Scarlet boulder in Azeos’ Wilderness, beyond the Great Wall.
Before you go
- Great Wall access and a discovered Scarlet boulder.
- Drills and power source.
- Chest or conveyor collection route.
- Smelter Kiln if processing ore at the site.
Farming steps
- Find and mark a Scarlet boulder while exploring Azeos’ Wilderness; the map position is world-specific.
- Craft or gather Drills and an Electricity Generator or Lever, then return to the marked site.
- Place drills against the boulder and connect the power source.
- Choose direct raw-ore pickup or build a conveyor route with a chest at the end.
- If adding a Smelter Kiln and robot arms, confirm each handoff and leave room for both ore and bar storage.
- Leave the site running while you explore or work at base, then return to collect output.
- Smelt raw ore at base or keep bars from the automated chain for Scarlet crafting.
- Favor adding Drills to a second boulder if your setup is limited; extra drills on one boulder give diminishing rate gains.
- Keep a dedicated chest for this ore so you can see when the boulder’s finite supply has been collected.
Repeat, collect and use
One-time per boulder: each produces 1,800 ore total. Find another boulder for more Scarlet after depletion.
Common mistakes
- Expecting a Scarlet boulder before obtaining Scarlet for initial Drills: hand-mine enough ore first.
- Leaving a processor output full: check capacity and clear bars during visits.
- Building belts without checking direction: orient the route toward the destination and test a short section.
When to stop or switch
Stop at the marked site when the boulder is exhausted or you have enough Scarlet for the next crafting objective; reclaim or repurpose equipment if useful.
