how to make building the neptune less painful

[sethiepotter]

So last time i did the game building the rocket was my least favorite part. Im not worried about the nickel or ion or even kyanite since i have close access to it. anything i can do to make it not suck?

You can check wiki and check what materials you need beforehand to build a rocket. Saves you time from going back and fourth

[Top Gun]

If you already have access to all of those materials, then I'm not sure what's so painful about it. Is there another ingredient that's giving you trouble?

[sethiepotter]

titanium I've taken all the scrap form around my bases and copper is also killing me

[Top Gun]

Yeah, copper's always a pain. There are plenty of deposits in the Lost River and Inactive Lava Zone though, as well as some titanium ones.

[sethiepotter]

yea im so annoyed that i need to get more deep shrooms and more gold

[sethiepotter]

Or maybe im just lazy

Not sure where your base is, but there is enough titanium/scrap in the Safe Shallows, Kelp Forest, Grassy Plains, and the safe western apron of the Crash Zone...
... to choke 3 titanium-eating 4546B "horses". All relatively safe to collect, if you have already reached the stage of Neptune.

Unless you have built the Taj Mahal and Buckingham Palace during your run, there should still be plenty there. I mean sheesh...you only need 60 Ti and 10 Cu to build the thing.

Set up a Scanner Room w/ HUD, initially at 0, 0, 0 and start collecting. Seamoth runs, with panniers, are recommended for this central area. Note that a Scanner Room is relocatable.

Don't screw around at this point trying to find it by eyeball.

Copper - same area. The Outcrops that don't have titanium should have copper, mostly.

For titanium, just take the Cyclops to the Dunes or Crash Zone and load up 4-5 lockers with scrap metal. Won't take more than a few minutes. On the way back, swing through the Mushroom Forest and use the Prawn with drill arms on some of the large copper nodes. Filling the Prawn inventory should be more than enough copper for the rocket and anything else you need for the game. Again, only takes a few minutes.

For deep shrooms, those and bloodvines are two things I always make sure to set up in an exterior growbed as soon as I find them. They're used in multiple recipes and are a long way down, so it's handy to farm them.

the lost river has everything that can be drilled in bulk

Maybe in your next play thru, get a deep Shroom seed to save yourself that one at least.

And yeah, I’m desperate for copper at the very beginning and desperate for copper at the very end. LoL

[Top Gun]

It's always copper and silver for me. I use them as fast as I find them for most of the game.
