How to get the Sonic Resonator
Answer first
Scan two Sonic Resonator fragments (Old Habitat ~370 m north of the Lifepod has a reliable pair), craft at a base Fabricator with 1 Basic Battery, 2 Titanium Ingots, 2 Lead, and 1 Wiring Kit, then charge-blast large ore veins. Its pulse can stun creatures for 10 seconds.

|---|---|
| Tools | Scanner, Base Fabricator |
| Depth / zone | Old Habitat ~370 m N |
Steps
- Travel to the Old Habitat (~370 m north of the Lifepod / Quaker black box route).
- Enter from the rear: first fragment on a shelf/right as you enter; second deeper in the building (near a toppled table / floor area — both PC Gamer and GamesRadar confirm two inside).
- Optional extras: cave desk ~345° north of Lifepod; crate behind Wander’s black box / Spider Dome ~240 m SW.
- Unlock Processor + gather Lead and Silver for Wiring Kit (Silver + Copper Wire).
- Craft at your habitat Fabricator (not the damaged Lifepod one): Basic Battery, 2 Titanium Ingots, 2 Lead, Wiring Kit.
- Aim at large deposits, charge, release — chunks auto-collect if inventory has space. Also destroys Bloom Biofilm; its pulse can stun creatures for 10 seconds but is not lethal.

Checklist
- 2/2 Sonic Resonator scans
- Titanium Ingots + Lead + Wiring Kit ready
