Lead should be farmed alongside silver and gold outcrop checks; verify the current outcrop type and save screenshots before writing exact routes.
Prerequisites
- Scanner
- Wakemaker
- Beacon
- Silver route notes
Uses
- Radiation or hull-related checks
- Tool upgrade budgeting
- Outcrop route planning
Guide Steps
Verification Step 1
Start from a safe base or lifepod route and bring a scanner, Wakemaker, spare battery, and at least one empty inventory row.
Verification Step 2
Enter the likely biome edge slowly and identify the item by its shape, color, container, or surrounding flora before harvesting.
Verification Step 3
Pick one small loop, mark the entrance with a beacon, and leave when oxygen or inventory margin becomes thin.
Verification Step 4
Return to the fabricator or relevant blueprint screen and verify which recipes actually consume the item in the current build.
Screenshot and version recheck
This page does not invent coordinates, drop rates, or screenshots. Use the screenshot briefs in the sidebar after implementation, and recheck recipes, blueprint names, and route entrances after patches.
Common Mistakes
- Separating lead from sandstone route planning too early
- Discarding lead before recipe verification
- Ignoring depth pressure
