Tips & Strategy

Look for Pent deposits on cave walls, cliff faces, and the seafloor — mineral outcrops are most concentrated in areas with rocky terrain.

Required for crafting Mild Acid (from Pents), Biofuel Block (from Pents) — gather extra during exploration to avoid dedicated farming trips later.

Keep Pent organized in labeled storage near your primary crafting station — maintaining an ordered inventory prevents wasted time searching for materials during urgent crafts.

All recipes using Pent are crafted at the Processor — store your supply near this station for maximum efficiency.

Mark rich mining areas with Beacons for return trips — Pent deposits are distributed across the map and knowing reliable locations saves exploration time.
