Resource deposits

Resource deposits are items of minerals found throughout Appalachia in 2102.

Deposits can be found regularly around all regions of the map, though certain resources are more prevalent in certain regions of the map. For instance, the Forest contains higher volumes of junk piles, and concrete and copper deposits while the Savage Divide contains more waste acid deposits. In particular, the Ash Heap contains the highest concentration of exposed ore. Deposits typically contain several ore of the deposit type, which is more than an ore vein typically provides.

A mineral extractor can be constructed to collect these resources. These deposits are frequently located within the boundaries of a claimable workshop. However, in most cases, these deposits are not near a workshop and it will be necessary to place a C.A.M.P. in close proximity in order to effectively mine them. In this case, a mineral extractor can be built as long as the deposit is within the build area.

Acid deposits

 * Hemlock Holes maintenance
 * South of Relay tower LW-B1-22 among the rocks near the hilltop east of ATLAS Observatory.

Aluminum deposits

 * South of the Mount Blair workshop.
 * East and slightly south of the Vault 63 map marker.

Copper deposits

 * One can be found south of Billings homestead.

Gold deposits

 * One at Hemlock Holes maintenance.

Iron deposits

 * One just north east of New Gad.
 * One just east of Hornwright testing site 3.
 * Three can be found east of Vault 63, right next to each other (near the intersection of the two paths on the map).
 * Five more can be found slightly further east of the other three, on the other side of the road.

Crystal deposits

 * Hemlock Holes maintenance
 * Lakeside Cabins
 * Billings homestead
 * Berkeley Springs West
 * Beckley mine exhibit

Black titanium deposits

 * Gorge junkyard
 * Southeast of Belching Betty in the side of the mountain.

Uranium ore deposits

 * Federal disposal field HZ-21 workshop
 * Monongah Power Plant yard workshop
 * Poseidon Energy Plant WV-06 yard workshop

Behind the scenes
Mineral deposits, or "fields," are features in real life geology that are significant to mining.
