Purple and red celestite

[Padgey]

I can now find red celestite in the red cave that seems to respawn everytime I log in but the trees that are meant to give seeds never gave me any seeds and don’t seem to be respawning back? I can’t remember where I get the purple looking celestite is that from the trees that I never got a seed from? Is there another place to find it? I need it for the large batteries, I’ve gone back to the first cave you goto where you get the asteroid miner and none has respawned there either

The Celestite deposits not respawning is a known bug, after I mined them on both of my play throughs they still have not respawned. I got 2 seeds in one play through and none of the other. The purple celestites that you got were from breakable containers that don't respawn.

[Padgey]

So I can’t make any more large batteries til the bug is fixed? There is no place in the game to get it now, well that’s a shame I can get red ones for the teleporters as that’s all I’m using red for, I will just have to stick to standard batteries for now so i don’t run out of power then, hopefully next patch fixes the issue

There is quite a lot of purple celestite on the map in various containers. You should be able to easily craft 15 large batteries for your base, which should be enough to build everything that's currently in the game and then some more.

You can also grow it. You will receive 3 seeds in the golden dome. Those who played from the very beginning got more. In the beginning, in the early days. Then, after the update.

If you read my original comment I mined the 3 trees and never got a seed in the yellow dome and I keep going back to check and the trees haven’t grown back for me yet

Oh I have way more then 15 batteries I’m trying to sort of prep for the next major update so I’m setting up lots of mining lots of teleporters things like that and also making a specific power station on the map where I it is literally a bunch of corridors with solar panels and batteries, I’m basically at the end of the current content but I want to keep playing so it’s giving me something to do till the next update drops

In that case the only renewable source right now is the one you could plant, afaik. They were supposed to fix celestite respawning, but they didn't and I could only get one seed. And in addition to that, the celestite that you plant yourself only gives 1 piece per tree, unlike the wild one. So it's a long and tedious process to farm them.

I only got 1 seed from the celestite trees in the dome. They don't all drop seeds. And of course, they don't respawn. At least I have 1 that I can regrow until this is fixed.

I remember seeing purple celestite in a cave before I had a laser. Now that I have a laser, i can't find that cave for the life of me.

ive gone back to the caves and none has respawned there either, im sort of stuck at the moment, i could either restart and try for a seed from the 3 trees in the yellow dome that dont actually respawn, wait for a fix, or stop playing as to be honest ive done all the current content, i was just intending to build a giant powerstation with the large batteries but without the purple celestite im stuck

Yeah, I got a single seed from the Celestite Trees in the Yellow Dome, and, when planted, it produces a single piece of Celestite and a Seed. As others have noted, it's tedious. I have previously completed the Red Cave, but I've heard they may have added more items that can be scanned. I guess it's time to go back in there with plenty of air, and go through it VERY CAREFULLY to make certain I haven't missed anything. Now that I don't need to worry about the Squids, I should be able to take my time, so long as I bring plenty of O2 or see if I can deploy an O2 Satellite.

You can't build an oxygen station inside the red cave - I tried.

Yes, you can, just not at the entrance. You have to go to the second part of the cave to build things.

See, now that's just silly - why divide the map like that?
Any road - I was just in there yesterday to get the last container of fertilizer (didn't have enough storage slots last time), and there's nothing new to scan there. The Red Ceslestite respawned, though, so that's nice.
