[Kackstift]

The cave entrance is far to the east, near (ish) the water, hidden behind a curtain of vines.

The map on SCIM shows cave entrances: https://satisfactory-calculator.com/en/interactive-map#3.5;-181027;-93501|gameLayer|caves

I started in that location once and i used the 2 to the right (East) of your cursor, and brought it back all the way to my starting location.
Crystal definitely is a problem unless you start in the north forest. (never tried desert maybe its easier there too). If you do get the crystals you showed us there is some nice caterium node on the way as well. Conveyor stack all that stuff back to you base :).

desert has two easily accessable nodes at ground level, far right side where the cliffs turn alongside the void. Far west entrance to the canyon near the lagoon, cliffside plateau has two pure nodes out in the open as well.

yes exactly... the harbour just to the east has easy quartz at the top of the cliffs up the east side of the harbour.. (that harbour is where my main base is, its an awesome location).

I found that cave quartz x2 node by accident. From rocky desert start and 1st base near the cliffs under blue crater coal nodes, went exploring SE and found this gigantic cave tunnel b/c it was night and a giant trail of mycelia blue mushroom looking things were glowing.

Through that giant mycelia tunnel - it connects right into that biome canyon / cliffs area and the default 'game road' - the dirt path / sandy area leads right into that quart cave on left and start of green vegetation on right

There is actually a way up from that cave but would never have found it in reverse. There are some of those natural wood things embedded in the walls that make a natural ladder for you to climb.

From there it is several mario bros jump + build platforms/ladders to keep going higher and higher through the only sky hole above you. That leads out to whatever biome name I forgot but some kinda jungle forest with lots of spiders and stingers.
