Resource node

A resource node is a local accumulation of a resource in Osiris: New Dawn. It usually provides one resource type that can be obtained by using certain tools.

Geyser


Geysers are vents in the surface of a planet or moon that eject a column of hot steam and gases into the atmosphere. They can often be found inside craters. A barrel is needed in order to obtain gases such as chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen, or oxygen.

Plants
Various plants provide organic materials when hitting them with a chisel or a weapon. Bushes and shrubs offer different plant parts usually needed to craft drugs, while trees have fresh food and drinkable liquids such as berries or tree sap.

Rock
Rocks are the most common formations on planets or moons, providing different raw materials such as metals and minerals. Most bigger rocks can be mined with a chisel or by giving the O.M.P.A. the command to mine, while smaller rocks can be picked up and used to craft primitive tools and weapons.

Pure mineral node
Pure mineral nodes can be found everywhere on the surface and inside caves. They only provide one single resource per node, indicated by the resource name and the color of the node. Some pure mineral nodes are more abundant than others, certain pure mineral nodes (like diamonds) are quite rare and can only be found in certain locations (e.g. caves).

Mixed mineral node
Mixed mineral nodes usually can be found on the surface only. They are very common and are divided into two subgroups: base metal and precious metal mineral nodes. Base metal nodes provide more common metals and minerals like iron, aluminum or magnesium, while precious metal nodes can be mined for copper, titanium or gold. There is also a very small chance to obtain rare resources like diamond.

Resource nodes can be found almost everywhere, however some resource nodes are more rare compared to others.
