Hives

=Caves= Hives are naturally occurring locations on Proteus 2, usually visited by astronauts to gather rare resources, especially Lithium. They can be very dangerous since they are infested with aliens. Hives will continually spawn hostile creatures while you're in the immediate vicinity.

Visiting
Hives can be great locations to find pure nodes for relatively rarer resources, such as Lithium, Copper, and Gold. However, to get said resources, you'll have to continually fight off waves of enemies, generally Snubs and Skeliopods. This also makes Hives great locations to farm Combat XP, if you have multiple people or are well equipped enough.
