Sparse Plains: early biome caution
Answer first
Dim, open, resource-poor perimeter biome tied to Collector Leviathan patrols. Do not enter early for ordinary materials. Scout from a known edge only with Tadpole, beacons, supplies, and a concrete objective (e.g. route toward Tadpole Depot / Karakorum).
Field notes
| Materials | Beacons, Supplies |
|---|---|
| Tools | Tadpole |
| Depth / zone | Open perimeter / trench transit |
Steps
- Treat Sparse Plains as a transit/danger zone, not a farming biome.
- Start at a known biome boundary; place beacons on entry and exit headings.
- If engaged by Collector: break LOS, head to known boundary, keep moving until pursuit cues fade — then restock before retrying.
- Ordinary early metals (Silver/Lead/Copper) are better farmed in starting biomes.
