Found myself some more mineral deposits, cleared out the Copper and then found another with Cobalt. Collected as much as I could before moving on to another location. Having the terrain manipulator lets me harvest deposits of these minerals. Alot of times being worth alot of credits. I had to reload my tool but luckily what it mines is also its fuel. The silicate powder can be used to fuel the manipulator.
Collected some crystals I can use to make warp cells out of. Knowing ill be getting that blueprint soon its a good time to collect them whenever I can. I got to thinking about the terrain manipulator. I wondered if I could carve out a big enough cavern to build a base inside. I think im going to give that a try soon as I can move quite a bit of earth using this tool.
Felt bad for the creatures that fell into the holes I made removing the minerals, but they did not seem to mind it. Probably not going to be there when I leave the area and despawn. Well I guess if I return some time and there are just animal bones ill know they died in those trenches. Luckily I had a jetpack to get out with.
Once my inventory was full I moved on and returned to the seller machine that was by my base I established. With all those minerals, I could also convert them into more refined materials. But in many cases Ill just sell them the way they are. I already have over a million credits, need to spend them on a better multitool.
