WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm A visible mineral deposit in a buildable area of a base or mission map.
A quick inspection helps distinguish a useful source from a bad placement or a resource you do not need. Judge the actual deposit and mine status rather than trying to extend a finite patch with a larger footprint.
Before you go Ability to inspect or reveal local resources. The matching mine available for placement. Power access to test the resulting production. Explore the area until the deposit is fully visible. Inspect its label and identify the resource type. Check the mine’s placement indicator over the deposit before committing construction. Place one matching mine at a valid position. Connect power and the local resource network. Confirm the mine is active and observe its output and deposit status. Compare the supply with your current build requirement before adding more infrastructure. Farming tips Use the placement preview as the authority for valid coverage; nearby placement is not enough. Assess whether a remote deposit justifies an outpost before spending on defenses and transport. Repeat, collect and use Assess each new deposit before mining it. Assessment can be repeated, but any extracted ore deposit is finite.
Common mistakes Building from a vague map impression: inspect the resource label in the field. Assuming multiple covered tiles make a patch last longer at a fixed rate: plan around the actual deposit status. Adding duplicate mines before checking the first output: verify production and demand first. When to stop or switch Stop assessment once you know the resource, valid placement, and whether it can meet the planned need; then mine it or move on.
