Find every resource: location, depth, biome, and crafting use. Searchable, sortable, updated for Early Access.
The most essential resource. Found in large quantities in the Crash Zone and scattered throughout Shallow Reef. Used for almost every base component and vehicle.
💡 Pro Tip
Check the Crash Zone first — it has the highest concentration. Bring a Seaglide for faster traversal.
Critical for electrical components. Copper is needed for batteries, wiring kits, and most electronic devices. Early-game bottleneck resource.
💡 Pro Tip
Kelp Forest has reliable clusters. Prioritize this early — you'll need it for Seaglide and Scanner.
Used to craft glass and silicon rubber. Essential for habitat windows, dive suits, and electronics. Found in caves and reef formations.
💡 Pro Tip
Check small caves in Shallow Reef. Often found near Coral Tube entrances.
Required for advanced wiring kits and high-tier electronics. Found in sandstone outcrops that require a Survival Knife to break.
💡 Pro Tip
Look for sandstone chunks near the seabed. They have a distinct brownish texture. Break them with your knife.
Rare but essential for advanced electronics and certain vehicle upgrades. Often found alongside Silver in deeper sandstone deposits.
💡 Pro Tip
Deeper sandstone outcrops have higher gold yield. Check the Grassy Plateaus border zones.
Used for radiation suit components and reactor shielding. Critical for exploring the Aurora (Crash Zone) without taking damage.
💡 Pro Tip
Prioritize Lead early if you plan to explore the Crash Zone. You'll need a full Radiation Suit.
High-tier resource for depth modules, laser cutter, and advanced base components. Found in shale outcrops in deep biomes.
💡 Pro Tip
Requires Seamoth or Prawn Suit to reach efficiently. Check the Grand Reef and Lost River entrances.
Endgame resource for thermal reactor modules and high-depth vehicle upgrades. Found near thermal vents in the Inactive Lava Zone.
💡 Pro Tip
Bring a Prawn Suit with drill arm. Thermal vents are dangerous — watch for environmental hazards.
