Gold Location
Quick Answer
Gold is found in the volcanic vent region east of the Lifepod, especially around the crashed colony ship about 450m east. Bring Heat Tolerance and Sonic Resonator progression before farming it seriously.
Requirements
- Heat Tolerance adaptation
- Sonic Resonator for larger nodes
- A return route to base
Exact Location
- Volcanic vent region east of the Lifepod; the crashed colony ship roughly 450m east is the key landmark.
Step-by-Step Route
- Unlock Heat Tolerance by progressing through Angel Comb/Sonic Resonator requirements.
- Head east until the water turns orange and the temperature gauge appears.
- Use the crashed colony ship around 450m east as the farming landmark.
- Collect small fragments by hand and mine larger nodes with the Sonic Resonator.
What It Unlocks
- Advanced Wiring Kit
- System Chip chain
- Thermal Plant route
Common Mistakes
- Trying to farm gold before heat survival is solved.
- Ignoring the predator around the wreck.
- Assuming gold is needed in the first few minutes.
