Where to Find Quartz in Satisfactory

 

    

 

Unlocking Quartz

 

     First things first, Quartz is a semi-rare resource that you’ll need to unlock in the game. To get started, you’ll need to complete the Quartz Research chain in the MAM (Molecular Analysis Machine). You’ll need to collect 10 Raw Quartz to unlock it. Additionally, Quartz becomes available in the Tier 7 milestone, Bauxite Refinement. So, don’t forget to check your milestones and get researching!

 

    

 

Finding Quartz Deposits

 

     Quartz is scattered across the world, but finding it can be a bit tricky. Here’s the lowdown on where to look:

 

     1. Resource Scanner: Start by using your Resource Scanner. Press ‘V’ to access the scanner and select Raw Quartz. This will help you spot the closest deposits.

 

    

     2. Manual Harvesting: You can harvest Raw Quartz by hand from small deposits. It’s a bit tedious but manageable if you’re early in the game.

 

    

     3. Automated Mining: For a more efficient approach, set up Miners on Quartz nodes. There are different purity levels of Quartz nodes—Impure, Normal, and Pure. Pure nodes yield the highest amounts of Quartz and are ideal for heavy production.

 

        - Impure Nodes: These are rare and yield the least amount of Quartz.

        - Normal Nodes: More common and yield a decent amount of Quartz.

        - Pure Nodes: The best for mining, yielding the highest quantities.

 

    

 

Tips and Tricks

 

     Finding Quartz can sometimes feel like a scavenger hunt. Here are a few tips to make your search easier:

 

     - Cave Exploration: Quartz deposits are often found in caves. Look for cave entrances near resource nodes or cliffs.

     - Lizard Doggos: Taming Lizard Doggos can sometimes yield Raw Quartz as they occasionally bring it back.

 

    

     - Use the Map: There are many maps available online that highlight Quartz locations. They can be a lifesaver if you’re struggling to find nodes.

 

    

     Finding Quartz in Satisfactory may take some effort, but it’s totally worth it for the resources and upgrades it provides. Whether you’re manually harvesting or setting up a high-efficiency mining operation, the key is to explore and make use of your scanner and map. So, get out there, hunt down those Quartz deposits, and keep building your factory empire!
