Takeaways

• 😀 The Tall Cutter and Compact Compactor are essential for gathering titanium, stravidium, and spice efficiently.
• 😀 The Tall Cutter has the same yield as the Mark 6 Cutter Array but is cheaper and doesn't require advanced survival fabricators.
• 😀 The Compact Compactor has a medium warm attraction intensity and high gather rate, making it better than the standard Mark 5 Industrial Compactor.
• 😀 Key farming locations for the Tall Cutter include the Udom and Imperial Testing Station, where you can find chests with valuable loot.
• 😀 For the Compact Compactor, head to deep desert research stations where you can obtain it along with other useful resources.
• 😀 The easiest method for acquiring both the Tall Cutter and Compact Compactor is by purchasing them from the ChoM exchange in the deep desert for solar.
• 😀 Soft Step Boots are crucial for reducing warm threat when farming spice, and they can be found in ship wrecks and research stations.
• 😀 Melee combat is favored in the game due to its effectiveness against Mark 6 enemies, and dual aluminum gear provides strong protection.
• 😀 It's essential to equip a Mark 5 shield and generator to protect against hostile attacks while farming resources.
• 😀 The Scout and Assault Ornithopters should prioritize Mark 5 engines and wings to enhance speed and performance while flying.
• 😀 Setting up a deep desert base with refineries is a key strategy for efficient resource production, especially for spice and plastium.

Q & A

What are the benefits of using the Tall Cut array compared to the Mark 6 Cut array?

The Tall Cut array offers the same titanium and stravidium yield as the Mark 6 Cut array, but it doesn't require planning ingots and spice malange to craft. Additionally, it can be made with just dur aluminum, making it more accessible and cost-effective.

Where can you find the Tall Cut array in the Udom?

The Tall Cut array can be found at the Stone Stab Village located on top of a mountain near the House of Ilm. Another location in the Udom also provides this array, marked by a specific point on the map.

How can you obtain the Compact Compactor MK5?

The Compact Compactor MK5 can be found in the Deep Desert, specifically at various research stations. These stations are scattered around the area and can drop parts for your assault ornithopter as well.

What is the simpler method to acquire the Tall Cut array and Compact Compactor MK5?

The simpler method involves traveling to Araken or Harker Village, reaching the bank, and then purchasing the Tall Cut array and Compact Compactor MK5 directly from the ChoM exchange for 98,000 solar each, saving time compared to farming them.

Why are Soft Step Boots important when farming in the deep desert?

Soft Step Boots reduce the warm threat by 45%, making them crucial for reducing the warm aggro while farming spices in the desert. This allows you to work more efficiently without attracting too much heat from the environment.

Where can you find the Soft Step Boots?

Soft Step Boots can be found at crashed ships around Misso and the shield, as well as from research stations in the Arow and ship racks in the A-O. Lower tier versions are available at testing stations during your journey.

What weapon setup is recommended for dealing with Mark 6 opponents?

For dealing with Mark 6 opponents, it's recommended to use a Mark 6 blade if you can find one, or a dual aluminum unique schematic weapon like the five-finger triple shot or Thufi's best way of the desert. Melee is considered more effective than ranged in this situation.

For your Ornithopter, the essential components are the Mark 5 engine and Mark 5 wings. These upgrades improve speed, glide ability, and ascension rate, making travel much faster and more efficient.

What should be your first item to craft with Spice Milange?

Your first item to craft with Spice Milange should be the scout ornithopter wings and assault ornithopter wings. These will greatly reduce your travel time, as you’ll be flying around a lot and these upgrades enhance speed.

What is the importance of having a deep desert base?

A deep desert base is essential for efficient farming in the desert. It allows you to build spice refineries and process materials like stravidium fiber and plastium, which are crucial for crafting higher-tier equipment and enhancing your base’s capabilities.
