Hold V and select an available resource to find nearby node groups. Advanced resources may need a sample and MAM research before their scan target appears.
Inspect whether a node is Impure, Normal, or Pure before choosing a site. Output depends on purity and miner settings, so plan belts and production around the node you found.
Power Storage holds surplus energy and discharges when demand exceeds production. It unlocks at Tier 4, and a grid can still trip if the stored energy cannot cover the shortfall.
Prioritize foundational mined resources, basic parts, and widely reused factory inputs first; rank later progression chains and combat or exploration gear after those, with seasonal collectibles and fireworks last.
