Early resource routes from the Lifepod

Silver: check the cave before the northern ruins

1. Head north past the Coral Dome raised on a pillar.
2. Look toward the ruined colony building ahead and slightly right.
3. Before the building, search right beneath the Jelly Lei overhang for a concealed cave.
4. Collect loose Silver. Mark larger deposits for a later Sonic Resonator trip.

Acidic Raion: cut the outer pouches first

Check the cave directly under the Lifepod or the lower cave roughly 30 m east. More plants grow around and beneath the Welcome Center, about 70 m southeast.

Cut away the outer Acidic Raion Pouches before taking the central Medical Gel Sack. Removing the centre early releases acid. Each plant can supply several pouches; do not take damage for one last harvest.

Lucifer Rotsacs: southwest arch loop

Around 80 m southwest, search the rocky arch for green Cradle Shootroots containing glowing orange Rotsacs. Pick the Rotsacs by hand; cutting the plant requires the Multitool. Two Rotsacs make one Rubber at the Fabricator.

Fibrous Pulp: recognise the plants

Cut Whip Gorgon beneath the Lifepod, or Feather Kelp in a cave about 100 m northwest. Macaron Sponge is another source. Similar-looking seagrass may be unharvestable, so check the interaction rather than repeatedly striking it.

Kingy route note: combine the southwest Rubber trip with nearby plant gathering only while oxygen allows. These are published landmarks, not a measured fastest-farming circuit or a verified respawn timer.
