How to Get Organics in The Alters
First things first: to get Organics in The Alters, you’ll need to leave the comfort of your base. Don’t worry, it’s not as scary as it sounds! Head to the Airlock, step outside, and keep your eyes peeled for *blue smoke* — that’s the telltale sign of an Organics deposit.
Once you spot the blue smoke, you’ve found your target. But before you set up shop, check the area for loose Organics. These scattered pieces look just like the ones below and can be picked up instantly — netting you about 8 Organics per find. It’s not a huge haul, but every bit counts early on!
Setting Up Your First Mining Outpost
Ready to get serious? To mine Organics efficiently, you’ll need to set up a Mining Outpost. Here’s the process:
- Find the deepest part of the deposit by standing in the blue smoke and equipping your Polygonal Scanners.
- Place all six scanners on the ground, making sure they connect in a full circle (no gaps!).
- If the scanned ground turns red, you’re getting close. Retrieve the scanners and place them nearer to the red area.
- Keep adjusting until you reveal the perfect mining spot, marked with a droplet symbol. That’s your cue to drop the Mining Outpost.
Don’t forget, you’ll also need Pylons (Polygons) to connect the Outpost back to your base. Place each one as far as you can while keeping the green connection line intact. Repeat until your base and Outpost are fully linked. Now, Organics will be sent straight to your base automatically!
Bonus: Fast Travel Unlocked
Here’s a handy tip: once the connection is set up, your Mining Outpost doubles as a fast travel point. That means you can zip back and forth without the long trek — saving precious time and energy.
Where to Find the First Organics Deposit (Prologue Location)
If you’re still searching for the first Organics spot in the prologue, look for a deposit on a higher ledge. You can reach it with a Climbing Hook, but if you don’t have one, there’s a workaround. Head left, pass the Rapidium, then turn right. This path lets you access the Organics deposit without any special gear.
That’s all you need to get started with Organics in The Alters! Keep your eyes open for blue smoke, set up those Outposts, and don’t be afraid to explore — your base (and your survival) depend on it. Good luck out there!
