The Alters Guide | Where To Find Minerals in Act 1

In Act 1 of The Alters, one of your most important jobs is to collect minerals. Minerals are important for building up your base, making modules better, and making survival things.

Finding these tools early has a significant effect on how fast you can move forward and protect your crew. This guide explains how exactly you can find minerals and what you need to bring in order to remove them successfully.

Reaching the Mineral Area

To start looking for minerals, go to the place on your map that is marked for mineral extraction. When you get to this spot, you'll see that the area has several obvious mineral deposits that are not too hard to get to. Most of the time, these are put in place near a natural Vantage Point.

Utilizing the Vantage Point

From the Vantage Point, you can see a lot of the land around you. You can get to the top without breaking any rocks, so you can carefully look down at the ore fields below.

The clear path to the Vantage Point helps you plan how to move quickly between deposits so you can gather as many resources as possible.

Essential Equipment: Bring the Bara Drill

For extraction, you need the right tools. Making sure you have a Bara Drill is important before you try to get minerals in this place.

Even though some rocks don't get in the way right away, having the Bara Drill with you means you can easily get past any problems and get the minerals you need.

Tips for Locating Deposits

Mineral deposits in this region are marked by their exposed surfaces and distinctive coloring. No special actions are needed to reveal them initially, and they can be identified easily from the Vantage Point. Systematic searching from this higher ground allows you to spot and prioritize the richest veins.

You can easily get the minerals you need to move on to Act 2 of The Alters if you plan your strategy, use the Vantage Point, and make sure you have the Bara Drill with you.
