How to Get Amethyst Parts
Amethyst is one of the early game resources that you would find in abundance across most regions. You need to find Amethyst nodes and collect Amethyst Ores. Feed the ores to the Refining Unit to collect Amethyst Fibers. Then, install a Fitting Unit at your base, which is obtained within the PAC facility construction, and add Amethyst Fibers to collect Amethyst Parts.
How to Get Aketine Powder
As for Aketine Powder, you need to collect Aketine and feed it through the Shredding Unit to get Aketine Powder. The best place to find Aketine is around the Temporary Shelter, Valley Pass. You will find a few Aketine to the east of the area while going down the Abandoned Trail. Aketine will respawn in the same spot each time, which makes it a great farming area.
