What's the easiest way to get minerals?

[Zeretrelle]

This is the only resource I always lack.

I break down my psi hypos and extra grenades. They tend to offer a fair deal of minerals.

Put extra weapons in the cycler, you dont need 2 of 1 weapon and leaving them on the ground is just silly. Take extra wrenches, pistols, shotguns etc and either dismantle for spare parts or put them in the cycler for a lot of minerals (:

And where do you get your organic material? Anywhere other than food?

Ahh yeah, nearly forgot! Recycle Wrenches and pistols, but you should disassemble shotguns because they give the same steel as wrenches, but twice the parts.

It seems it's just food but for some reason I run out of minerals(I create only neuromods) much faster.

Ouch! Yea I took everything. I find it really hard to leave something behind so I ended up at the earlier levels making MANY trips to and from working cycler stations to make sure I grinded up everything I couldnt carry. (: Most weapons give 2-3 spare parts or 1-2 minerals.

There are flowers all over the place to harvest, just in the lobby alone, but also in offices(not the ones in the glass planters) but behind glass panes. Plus there are things like bananna peel and lemon peel etc.

all you need to do is putting minerals in the recyler and split them into 10 stacks and recyle them, magic

no need to split into 10. 2 is enough. But it's an exploit.

This is a odd way but you can pile up corpses and use a recycle charge on them

I forget but I was really in need of med packs at one point so I just made a pile of corpses in the psi lab and some chairs and stuff and hit it. Got at lest enough for 3 ro 4 packs it was awhile back in my playthrough that I did that.

I ended the game with 200+ organics and 300+ exotic material. Less than 1 of mineral and syntherics. I also would pile the dead, along with every item that could be picked up, and tossed a recycler grenade at the pile. Mostly in the idea it'd prevent weavers from producing more phantoms but that's a useless effort considering I killed nearly 500+ aliens and the crew of the station is about 300.

Wrench skills + max combat focus + athletic/speed to the max means you can wrench kill everything and gather the materials for "free". Still ended spending all my minerals and synthetics on neuromods and weapon upgrade kits.
