How to Find Raw Aurogen Crystals
The most dangerous resource to get your hands on is Raw Aurogen Crystal, since it emits radiation when you get too close to it. To find this material, you need to head over to the coral reef biome and look around for large purple crystals jutting out from the ground. They spawn randomly but are usually found on rocky terrain.
When you spot one, get close to it and use your cannon to shatter it. Wait for it to shatter completely before going ahead to collect it. You will spot a fragment of the Aurogen Crystal on the ground. Now, you cannot store this item in your inventory, since it is too large to do so. The only way to gather them is to pick it up with your hands.
Tips on Collecting Aurogen Crystals
As mentioned earlier, it will emit radiation, so I recommend healing yourself up to max health before stepping out of your ship. Also, during this time, you will be vulnerable to attacks, since you can’t use weapons once you have the Aurogen Crystal. Have your teammates cover your back while you make your way to the main deck.
After collecting the crystal, quickly get out of the area and find the extraction point. If you start stacking up crystals, they will continue to emit radiation, so it is best to get out of the area quickly with whatever crystals you have in hand. Also, Aurogen Crystals are highly sought after, so you will encounter enemies while trying to farm them.
Do not keep these crystals on your ship for long periods of time, especially if you have farmed multiple of them. Aurogen Crystals are known to explode if they are shot down, and your Trampler will be destroyed if you are under attack. Hence why it is necessary to extract as quickly as you can and also avoid enemy encounters up close.
