Choose the extractor or cutter by target
Metal and synthetic clusters in updrafts use the Deck Extractor. Silicon comes from satellite dish or solar panel structures near the upper dust layer and is salvaged with a cutter.

What matters before you farm
Unlock requirements, costs and tips to help you get started.
Use named towers for ship materials
Wind Farms are a target for copper wiring, turbines, and helium tanks; Greenhouse Towers are especially useful for glass components. The packet does not establish a guaranteed helium yield at every variant.
Sources & fact checks
Renewable crops need processing
Find crop seeds at their listed locations, then use the required plot size, fertilizer, and water. Harvests usually return the plant, with only a small chance of a seed; a Distiller turns the named crops into their products.

Farm with a purpose
Prioritize expedition oxygen and resin needs, then progression materials and supplies that support longer-term crafting and farming.
