Pure Quartz Locations and Best Farming Route in 1.0

Start with the southern Astral Mountains cluster

Current 1.0 sources independently point to the southern Astral Mountains cluster north of the Garden Beneath the Cliffs area. It is useful because several deposits can be checked in one cold-weather run rather than chasing one isolated marker.

The coordinate is an area anchor, not a promise that every deposit sits on one pixel. Approach with enough visibility to scan the rock shapes and adjust around terrain instead of landing directly on the map number and declaring the route empty.

Prepare the run before fast travel

1. 01

   Equip cold protection suitable for the Astral Mountains and the time of day.

2. 02

   Bring a mining-capable Pal or tools that can clear several deposits without a repair trip.

3. 03

   Reduce unnecessary inventory weight and add food for the worker or travel team.

4. 04

   Mark the primary cluster near -209, 250 and one backup location before leaving base.

5. 05

   Mine the route in one direction, then leave when weight begins to slow travel instead of overloading in the final node.

Use backup locations when the main cluster is empty

Current location references also identify Astral Mountains points around -135, 270, -258, 390, -139, 579 and -413, 472, plus a Mossanda Forest alternative near 213, -134. Treat these as backup route anchors and check the current terrain around each coordinate.

Mossanda Forest can fit a different progression route, while the mountain clusters benefit from preparation built around cold and weight. The best backup is the one that shares travel with the next objective, not the farthest point on a list.

When the Pure Quartz Quarry is worth it

The Quarry asks for Pure Quartz before it can automate Pure Quartz. Build it when manual runs are repeatedly blocking Circuit Boards or other production, not immediately when the technology appears. The first one hundred Quartz may create more progression value in urgent recipes than in convenience infrastructure.

After construction, assign suitable Mining and Transporting workers and watch one complete cycle. A Quarry with poor worker access or distant storage can move the bottleneck instead of removing it.

Avoid the conflicting Circuit Board formula

Pure Quartz is a Circuit Board material, but current sources disagree on the exact Pure Quartz and Polymer quantities in the board recipe. That conflict is not solved by averaging the two numbers or choosing the newer article automatically.

Open the Circuit Board recipe in the current build and plan from the game display. This guide keeps the stable farming route and Quarry facts while leaving the disputed board quantities out.
