These 2 big boulders are just above my closest caterium ore source. It's not something you can manually mine or something you can remove with the chainsaw. How can i place a mine there?

Nobelisk. Unlock them through sulfur research in the MAM. Until then, you can place portable miners to gather from the edge of the node.

Caterium has some nice things in the research tree. I suggest working part of the way through it. You can semi-automate it by taking the materials from a portable miner and putting them into a container to belt where you want/need it.

You need to blow them up. In the MAM you can research it with coal and sulfur.

Many thanks guys. Of course, blowing them up, this is how the videogame generation solves everything :)))

Oh yeah, should mention. Nobelisk require materials from at least tier 3.

Luckily, Michael Bay isn't involved here or else people would have stopped playing after 2.5 hours.

I got worried about this indestructible boulder as well... but sadly there is no hint ingame this is not a bug and it is in fact destructible with higher tech

It should have a tooltip like "if i had some explosive i could blow this up"

Should note, you can still place auto miners on the edge.
