Before you can begin buying, upgrading, and fabricating all kinds of assorted goods inRevenge of the Savage Planetyou’ll first need to search through these far-off alien worlds to hunt down a handful of critical resources - you can’t make things for your Habitat or upgrade your tools out of nothing, after all.
With four major resources you’ll be collecting throughout Revenge of the Savage Planet, you’d be wise to keep a little bit of everything on hand. If you’re hoping to fabricate everything there is to make in Revenge of the Savage Planet, here are a few tips.
How To Collect All Resources
There are four primary resources you’ll need to pay attention to collectingin Revenge of the Savage Planet, all of which will be essential to fabricating all kinds of important tools and upgrades throughout the game. These areCarbon, Aluminium, Silicon, and Printer Slurry, and you’ve got a few ways to collect them as you explore every planet.
Anytime you use the 3D printer, you’ll need to use a Printer Slurry and a pre-set number of elemental resources, which you can check on both the 3D printer menu and the Character screen in your Journal. Since later upgrades can require quite a few materials, you’d be wise tocollect resources as you goinstead of backtracking to stock up later on when you need to make something.
Keep An Eye Out For Ore Veins
One of the most immediate ways to earn a payout of resources is to look forores of Carbon, Aluminium, and Siliconas you explore the various planets. You’re introduced to them fairly early on in the game, when Eko shows you around after you’ve gottenthe Zoot Jump Thrusters, your first major goal after crash-landing on Stellaris Prime.
These ore veins appear asgray rocks with colored gem-like interiors, and while you can scan them into the Kindex (where they’re logged into the Resources tab), the easiest way is just tokeep your eyes peeledas you explore the worlds on each planet. Look for hidden areas as well, like behind waterfalls or around odd corners, since they may just be hiding a good selection of ore veins toreward you for exploring.
Using your whip to break ore veins brings the ores directly back to you! Using your gun, you’ll need to go collet them physically.
Fight Everything
As you traverse the planets trying to reassemble the Javelin, you’re going to come across quite a few different monsters along the way. Not to be confused with the creatures you can take home and adore as pets of sorts,defeating enemies offers Carbonin large quantities. You’ll need to make use of your environment and assorted tool upgrades if you’re diving into combat - scan enemies and read their Kindex entries for tips on how to fight them.
Carbon is the most common resource, and you’ll find this to be true when you notice thatkilling enemies and creatures drops Carbon moleculesthat you can claim. You need to actually return to the scene of the death and grab your loot, but it’s worth it.
Hunt Down Every Printer Slurry
Finally, with Printer Slurry a critical component of making new upgrades or weapons in your 3D printers back at the Habitat, it’s important tokeep an eye out for Printer Slurryin each area you enter - you can see how many each area has in total when you highlight the region on your Journal’s map page.
The same green icon appears on your map, so head to that location and prepare to eitherwin a fight or solve a puzzleto claim your prize. These will often be in out-of-the-way locations, often at great heights or requiring you to navigate a difficult section of terrain, but since you’ll want as many upgrades as you’re able to get, it’s wise to grab them whenever you’re nearby. If you don’t have time when you find it or can’t reach it for one reason or another, the icon remains on your map for later.
Collect Your Lost Loot Crates
Anytime you die while out exploring the worlds, you’ll drop a good number of the elemental resources you’d been carrying, but thankfully, these don’t disappear forever! When you die in Revenge of the Savage Planet, you’llleave behind items where you died, and these will be marked on both your map on the Journal pageandon your compass at the top of the screen.
The first time this happens, it triggers a quest in your Journal called “I Take That Back,” showcasing how many of each item you lost and highlighting the spot where you died. You’ll respawn back at the Habitat with the loot box marked each time, so it’s usually worth it to go back and get your stuff.
