Large Deposit (Unused 142)

Learn how to find and extract Large Deposits in Deep Rock Galactic. This guide covers mechanics, tips, and best practices for maximizing your yield.

Alright, Miner! Let's talk about those big, juicy Large Deposits you'll be spotting out in the caves. You know, the ones that look like a massive chunk of Morkite or whatever valuable resource is around. They're usually marked with a special icon on your map, often a bit more prominent than the regular veins.

Finding them is the first step, but getting them out is where the real work begins. Depending on the resource, you might need to set up a Refinery with pipes, or sometimes it's just a matter of mining it out directly. Keep an eye on your terrain scanner; these deposits often have a larger footprint than you might expect.

Pro-Tip: Don't get tunnel vision on just the Large Deposit! While it's tempting to focus all your efforts there, remember to keep an eye out for regular veins and other objectives. Sometimes, the path to a Large Deposit might lead you past several smaller, but still valuable, resource nodes.

If it's a deposit that requires a Refinery, make sure you've got enough pipe length and that your platform placement is solid. The longer the pipe, the more chances for a leak, and nobody wants to deal with a Morkite geyser when they're trying to finish up!

And hey, if you see one of those rare, massive deposits that seem to take up a whole cavern wall? That's a real jackpot. Call in the team, make sure your drills are ready, and prepare for a bit of a mining marathon. It's usually worth the effort, netting you a hefty sum of resources and a good chunk of XP.
