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 pieces of 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. Crafting plans for the mineral extractors are automatically unlocked after completing a Claim Workshop Event Quest for the first time.
