I mined one kyanite largle deposit got 6 pieces.
I've Been mostly exploring my prawn a lot in hot areas. I keep running out of power so I have a lot of power cells in my inventory. I thought well since I'm in hot areas a lot, I should get a thermal reactor! However, you need kyanite and I can't find any. Does anyone know an easy way to find it?
This is a small guide from my recent experience for players looking to extract their first bits of kyanite, because unlike other ores this one is quite difficult
PRE-REQUISITES
Must have :- Cyclops with depth module mk2, prawn with depth module mk1
Optional, but desirable :- reinforced swimsuit, Cyclops decoy, Cyclops shield generator, Cyclops auto repair module
PROCESS
Enter the lava zone through the lost river entrance. Be prepared for the ghost levithian to take interest. Once down there safely your objective is to position your Cyclops such that the vehicle bay is right above and close to the kyanite ore deposit. Large deposits are common in the lava zone, though it is possible that you won't get a single bit from the whole deposit while drilling. Do not worry, the prawn suit unlike the seamoth handles depth very well and if you position your Cyclops wisely, it is easy to mine at least 2 deposits before having to return to the vehicle bay.
PROBLEMS
The biggest problem are the lava larve, which suck the Cyclops electricity. Keep an eye on that, because remeber the prawn is not capable of taking you out of the zone. Apart from that remeber to transfer your prawn suit storage items before starting to drill again. Also without the reinforced swimsuit, you will take slow thermal damage outside of vehicles
Is that a bug or wathever, but I go in the Inactive Lava Zone and I found... 0 Kyanite ! So I go in the Actuve Lava Zone... And 0 ! I’ve go no Kyanite in this world...
