Good morning, June lovers. 20 hours into
0:02
the game as a solo player and we got our
0:06
ornithopter and I could have had it in
0:08
15. Where do you pick up all the needed
0:11
resources? How much do you actually
0:14
need? And how would a good resource run
0:16
look pinging from point to point that
0:18
with one run alone, you can already get
0:20
all the resources for your onopter. Now,
0:23
let me break it down in a few easy steps

Step 1

0:26
so you get your Orney in no time. And
0:28
the first step will be building a buggy.
0:31
Sounds weird, but you really want a
0:33
buggy because in order to build your
0:35
ornithopter, you'll need 296 aluminium
0:38
ingots. And each ingot is 7 ore, which
0:41
needs you to have 2,72
0:43
ore. And that's where the buggy comes in
0:45
because the inventory of the buggy can
0:47
hold 2,400 ore plus in one single run.
0:51
There's one big problem though, and that
0:53
is that your Buggy MK3 cutter array
0:55
can't actually cut aluminium, and you
0:57
need your Buggy MK4 cut. We'll get to
0:59
that in a bit. In order to make your

First Materials

1:01
buggy, you'll need steel, cobalt paste,
1:04
advanced servox, armor plating, and also
1:07
particle capacitors. The good thing is
1:10
that all these things are also needed
1:12
for your onopter. You also need the
1:14
particle capacitors, the cobalt paste,
1:16
the complex machinery, which means while
1:18
you're working on the buggy, you're also
1:20
getting the parts for your ornithopter
1:22
already. Now, the servox and the
1:23
particular capacitors you get from the
1:25
Imperial testing stations, and they are
1:27
throughout the whole map. Keep in mind
1:29
here that in the western and eastern
1:30
Vmillius gap, these drop quite some
1:34
already. But if you actually move all
1:35
the way top right corner of the map and
1:37
for example do the Imperial testing
1:39
station number 29 all the way on the
1:40
tippity, you simply get more servox and
1:43
capacitors there. But the enemies are
1:46
also harder. You also need tons of
1:47
complex machinery for your buggy and for
1:49
the ornithopter. And this leads to your
1:51
first farm run already. We're in the top
1:54
left corner of the western vmilious gap.
1:56
That's also where our base is, by the
1:58
way. Best base location. And here you
2:00
get yourself the Imperial Testing
2:02
Station number 13 and also the Northwest
2:05
Iron Works. Begin in the Imperial
2:08
Testing Station. Loot every single
2:10
chest. Get all those servos, all those
2:12
particle capacitors possible. Then make
2:14
yourself towards the Northwest Iron
2:16
Works and all the way on the tippity
2:17
toppy where you will get easy peasy
2:20
lemon squeezy with your shigawire claw
2:23
bell jumping combo. You get already tons
2:26
of complex machinery. That is 10. Then
2:30
we get the machine over the side. That
2:32
would be another 13. And we get the
2:37
chest here that has good loot and also
2:40
some machinery sometimes. Now you jump
2:42
over to the other side. Get another 20
2:44
to 30 machinery. All these chests take
2:46
45 minutes to reset. and two poth should
2:49
be more than enough to get all the
2:51
resources for your buggy plus surplus
2:55
for your onopter already. The iron you
2:57
need for the steel to actually build
2:59
your buggy. You already have encopious
3:01
amounts around this area. My base alone
3:04
has I think nine nodes around. In order
3:07
to make steel, you need iron ingots and
3:10
then carbon ore. And you need a lot of
3:12
steel ingots and complex machinery as
3:14
well to actually build the medium ore
3:16
refinery to then make your aluminium.
3:18
Now the only thing we're missing for our
3:19
buggy is the cobalt paste, the carbon

Cobalt Paste, Armor Plating, Carbon Ore

3:22
for the steel ingots and also the armor
3:24
plating where the armor plating and the
3:26
cobalt paste is again needed in cubious
3:29
amounts as well for your ornithopter. So
3:31
the more cobalt paste and armor plating
3:32
you actually pick up, the less you'll
3:34
have to farm down the line. The carbon
3:36
ore you'll get in Jubble Algard. We're
3:38
going from our base in the top left
3:40
corner of the western Vmillus gab and
3:42
right around this area and here you can
3:44
just drive in an aid. You get a bunch of
3:46
that carbon ore. The second resource we
3:48
needed that's the cobalt paste. You're
3:49
driving up into the haga rift. The haga
3:52
rift has multiple uses though. Here
3:54
you're looking for the aeriththride
3:56
crystals would be this red looking ore.
3:58
On a bike run you'll not get that much
4:01
with you even if you fill up the whole
4:02
inventory of the bike. We just get
4:04
enough that we can make our buggy
4:06
because then later with a buggy you can
4:08
do a two to 3,000 athite ore run and
4:12
then not bother for the next 20 hours
4:14
because you have enough for your
4:15
ornithopter and beyond. Now the hugger
4:17
rift has two more uses. There would be
4:19
looting chest in the mineral extraction
4:21
facilities to get yourself ray
4:23
amplifiers. If you want to be daring,
4:25
you go for the Arctis Cavern because I
4:27
got around 60 ray amplifiers from one
4:29
single run. These ray amplifiers are
4:31
explicitly needed for the cutter rays
4:33
and also for your personal cutter array
4:35
the MK3 and the MK4. So you really want
4:38
those ray amplifiers. And if you go
4:39
either all the way to the bottom of the
4:41
hoger rift or you drive on the tippity
4:43
toppy. So not eating your vehicle down.
4:45
They'll be those crashed buggies and
4:47
crashed you have to cut them apart with
4:50
your cutter array. Go in analyze it cut
4:52
it apart because you're getting from the
4:54
crash buggies armor plating and from the
4:57
crashed ornithopters you're getting
4:58
holdsman actuators. Armor plating you'll
5:00
need incopious amounts for the buggy and
5:02
for the ornithopter and the holdman
5:04
activators you need for the cutter erase
5:06
and also for shields in general.
5:08
Fantastic. You can craft your first
5:09
buggy now and you're already well on

Buggy Resource Runs

5:11
your way with bonus stuff for your
5:13
ornithopter. Now with your buggy you're
5:16
going to do one carbon run that we
5:17
talked about earlier in Jab at Alfred
5:19
garb. Get yourself 4,000 carbon ore. I
5:23
still have 4,000 lying around to this
5:25
point. Deposit it. Drive back into the
5:28
haga rift. Get yourself 2,000 plus
5:31
Aithri crystals. Just two runs. While
5:34
you're doing this, don't forget to get
5:36
yourself some more ray amplifiers. And
5:38
if you want to be daring, go up to the
5:39
Imperial testing station number 29 for
5:41
more particle capacitors and the
5:43
advanced servox. You're doing this so we
5:45
can build the medium ore refinery. And
5:47
don't forget that that also needed the
5:49
complex machinery. So every 45 minutes,
5:51
you're going to hit up the iron works to
5:53
get yourself more of that machinery. And
5:55
you also want to get yourself a Fman
5:57
death still. This will be needed to make
5:59
yourself passively tons of water. Put a
6:02
corpse in here. 1 hour later, I get
6:04
25,000 water. That will be hardcore
6:07
needed since every aluminium ingot takes
6:09
200 water. 296 * 200 would lead us to
6:12
59,200 water needed. The good thing with
6:15
the death still is this happens while
6:17
you're on the road. So, I'm doing a farm
6:19
run for the crystals, the pace, and
6:21
everything. And I'm getting the water as
6:23
I come back. Very useful. For the FMAN
6:25
death still, you have to finish your
6:27
journey up to trial number eight.
6:29
There's a link in the description below
6:30
that lays out the process for all those
6:32
eight trials. Watch that after this. I
6:35
just wanted to point out the desk still
6:36
for you as an option for water

Cutterarray Problems

6:38
production. Now, let's come back to the
6:39
problem from the beginning because you
6:41
can't actually cut aluminium ore with
6:43
your buggy. You need the cut array MK4.
6:46
But the Koreay MK4 needs aluminium to be
6:49
made and the particle capacitors that
6:51
you have farmed, the cobalt paste which
6:53
you have farmed and the ray amplifiers
6:55
that we do have already. This means we
6:57
have to craft ourself a MK3 cutaway for
7:01
our person. Jump on our bike and then
7:05
with our bike we're making oursel from
7:06
the western Vmillas gap over to the
7:09
eastern shield wall. You can either
7:11
drive right side around to get in or you
7:13
drive up left into Matero and then also
7:17
through this little gap inside the
7:20
shield wall. This is where you'll gather
7:22
enough aluminium for 70 ingots. Don't
7:25
leave before you have 490 ore. And
7:27
that's then where the fast track begins

Eastern Wall & Industrial Pumps

7:30
because now you can put that MK4 on your
7:33
buggy. Drive the exact same route into
7:35
the eastern shield wall. And then don't
7:37
leave the eastern shield wall until your
7:39
inventory is full with 2,400 aluminium
7:42
ore. Cram as much as possible in there.
7:45
Don't forget as you are at the eastern
7:47
shield wall to make your way to a
7:49
location called Sentinel City. The
7:51
entrance is located at the bottom. So
7:53
you drive through this kind of gap here.
7:56
And Sentinel City has industrial pumps.
7:59
These industrial pumps are needed for
8:00
the wings of your ornopter. Aha. One run
8:04
into at Sentinel City gave me already
8:06
100 pumps. I was lucky. Run through like
8:10
the devil is behind you and just pick up
8:12
every single little bit. I did it in
8:14
iron armor. Steel armor would probably
8:16
make this a bit more convenient. You're
8:18
back in your base. You got 2,400 ore. We
8:21
can make ourself all these aluminium
8:23
ingots. Keep in mind that making 296
8:25
ingots takes 2 and 1/2 hours. Yes, 2 and
8:29
1/2 hours. You made yourself tons of
8:31
water while you were farming with your
8:33
FM and death still. Congratulations. You
8:35
can afford all of this. Now, the only
8:36
thing left that we never talked about is

Diamondine Dust & Carbide Scraps

8:38
diamond dine dust and also carbide
8:41
scraps because all the other materials
8:43
we have knocked out. And for diamond
8:45
dine dust and carbide scraps, we're
8:47
again going from the western vermilion
8:49
gap over to the left side into Misater.
8:52
Here's a trade post, by the way. Keep
8:55
that in mind. And you're going to go all
8:56
the way over to actual MSA. This area
8:59
has an electrocuted worm on the tivity
9:02
top and a cave inside the mountain.
9:05
Before the cave, there's already tons of
9:07
chests, a total of five that are strewn
9:09
throughout Miss Aater. All of those
9:12
diamond dine dust and the carbide. As
9:14
you then go inside through the energy
9:16
shield in the cavern, there's tons of
9:18
enemies. They're going to swarm you.
9:20
They're hard to kill. They have
9:21
poisonous bullets. It's crazy. After you
9:23
kill all of them, cut off the hinges
9:25
from this store, get the identification
9:27
band, and get yourself even more. One
9:30
single run was enough for all my needs
9:33
on the ornithopter. Bang. Knocked out.
9:36
Danzo. In the beginning, it will feel
9:38
impossible to get this as a solo player.
9:41
But as soon as you really get yourself
9:43
your buggy,
9:44
you just notice how easy it is. You're
9:46
going to be swimming in resources and
9:48
not worry about anything anymore. And
9:50
with the ornithopter now, questing will
9:53
feel beyond amazing. I need to go over
9:55
here for a quest up there to this side.
9:59
I'll just jump on it and fly around and
10:01
knock them all out. I need a rare
10:03
resource all the way in the top left
10:04
corner. I'm not going to drive there
10:05
with my buggy. I'm going to fly over
10:06
with the ornithopter. I mean, it still
10:08
has 500 inventory space. It won't be a
10:11
problem. The game just began to be ultra
10:14
fun. Now, go out there, get yourself
10:16
your ornithopter, the perfect base, the
10:18
FMAN death still. Enjoy and tell me in
10:21
the comments below how long it took you
10:22
to get your Orney.
