WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm Suitcases, cannibal camps, and cave supply containers encountered on surface or cave expeditions.
Gather crafting components from luggage, camps, and cave caches, then make explosives at the inventory mat when their recipe is available. This is a mixed scavenging loop: containers have varied contents, so focus on collecting useful components rather than expecting a fixed cache to provide a complete recipe. Carry only what suits the next cave route.
Before you go A light source and weapon for cave or camp encounters. Inventory capacity for boards, coins, cloth, alcohol, watches, and other finds. Access to the inventory crafting mat and the explosive recipe. Choose a surface or cave route with containers you can search safely. Open suitcases and supply boxes, checking for circuit boards, coins, cloth, alcohol, watches, and other useful components. Loot camp containers only when you have a safe approach and retreat path. Collect cave supplies when they lie along a planned expedition rather than extending a trip without preparation. At the inventory mat, use gathered components to craft explosives when the recipe is available. Pack only the explosives needed for the next route and leave remaining materials stored in inventory. Repeat searches at other unopened containers when more components are required. Farming tips Use explosive items in open spaces with room to retreat, away from structures you want to preserve. Leave inventory room before a cache run so varied supplies are not wasted or left behind. Repeat, collect and use Loot from opened suitcases is limited; further materials come from other unsearched containers and available cave or camp supplies.
Common mistakes Assuming one cache contains every component: search across multiple loot sources. Entering a hostile camp without a retreat plan: approach with a weapon and room to withdraw. Using explosives near your own structures or in cramped space: move to a clear area first. When to stop or switch Stop scavenging once you can craft and carry what the next expedition needs, or when the planned containers are exhausted.
