GET STARTED
How to farm
Before you go
Reach East Mall in the open world.
A friendly Solar Farm control point if you want to use its resource-donation Detection benefit.
Inventory capacity for the materials you plan to collect.
Find Solar Farm on the East Mall map and travel to its control point.
If hostile, clear defenders and capture the point before using the compound as a calm looting area.
Speak with the control point officer and donate requested supplies if you want the available Detection benefit.
Read the perk description in your client to understand what it reveals, then sweep the fenced compound and nearby structures.
Collect highlighted crafting-material containers and check the inventory for the types received.
Check your material inventory and capacity before continuing to other containers.
Return later when containers are available again; do not expect donations to reset them immediately.
Farming tips
Prioritize the materials your crafting plans need; container contents can vary.
The Detection effect helps reveal containers, while the route itself is simply a sweep of Solar Farm and its close surroundings.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat the sweep when containers are available again. There is no supported fixed reset time or guaranteed quantity for this route.
Common mistakes
Assuming a resource donation immediately refreshes containers; it does not guarantee a reset.
Expecting a fixed yield or specific material mix; inspect your inventory after the sweep.
Looting while the control point is contested; secure the area first for a safer route.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have enough of the needed materials or the nearby containers are exhausted; switch to another activity until they become available again.
