Crafting resources
Ember Valley Exploration
Ember Valley exploration opens access to region resources and useful upgrade materials.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Ember Valley Exploration
Ember Valley, outside the Conservatory, including lava areas and glowing resource nodes.
Before you go
- Access to the Ember Valley route.
- A crafted, installed Resource Harvester for science nodes.
- Vacpack space for the materials you intend to collect.
Farming steps
- Check the Fabricator for the resource or module goal you want to pursue.
- Travel through the opened route into Ember Valley.
- Look for visible glowing nodes when Radiant Ore is needed.
- Search near lava for visible Lava Dust nodes when that material is needed.
- Use the Resource Harvester to collect science materials from nodes.
- Inspect the area for the Extra Tanks module mentioned in the upgrade guidance if that is your goal.
- Return to the Conservatory and deposit collected crafting materials in the Refinery.
- Use the recipe to decide which resources to prioritize; a broad sweep can fill Vacpack space with unrelated pickups.
- The Extra Tanks module is a separate exploration find, so do not assume resource collection alone completes that upgrade goal.
Repeat, collect and use
Resource-node collection can be repeated when more inputs are needed. Finding a module is a one-time pickup, not a renewable farm.
Common mistakes
- Entering without the Resource Harvester when planning to gather science-node materials; install it first.
- Treating every visible pickup as a recipe input; check the Fabricator and prioritize the target.
- Assuming a module is guaranteed at a particular point on every visit; search the region and verify the item in game.
When to stop or switch
Return when the needed recipe inputs are collected, your Vacpack is full, or you have found the one-time module you came to retrieve.
