Accessing the Mine

During Chapter 2 (or early Chapter 3) of Death Stranding 2, you unlock the first mine along a rail line. Travel to the marked location north of F1 using a vehicle to handle heavy cargo. Upon arrival, the mine entrance will appear inactive until specific prerequisites are met.

Deploying Special Alloys

To start up the mining facility, put the Special Alloys that were in the car into the mine's input bay. With these Special Alloys, you can use the mine's basic features, which give you more ways to gather resources.

Identifying Required Crystals

After deploying the initial Special Alloys, the mining interface may remain greyed out, indicating additional materials are needed. A prompt in the bottom-right corner specifies the requirement of approximately 2,000 Crystals to fully power the mine's systems.

Gathering Crystals

The required Crystals spawn in clusters immediately outside the mining complex. Load them into the vehicle and drive around the perimeter to collect them efficiently. It is advisable to gather a few hundred extra Crystals beyond the 2,000-unit requirement to account for any miscounts or future needs.

Powering Up the Mine

Once at least 2,000 Crystals have been collected, return to the Mine North of F1 and load the Crystals into the activation slot. This final step restores full power, enabling continuous material extraction from the facility's seams.
