The Cycle Frontier “Heavy Construction” Quest Details

General Quest Dialogue

Time to build a machine capable of safely (well, relatively) extracting and processing Flaked Letium from the surface. Fortunately Korolev used to operate Mobile Mining Platforms, giant laser drills that would float through the peaceful skies of Fortuna III in search of mineral veins to exploit.

The days those things could be safely operated are long gone, but they’re just the thing we need now to mine for Letium, with some assistance on the ground.

Final Rewards

• 1x Laser Drill Beacon

Part 1 Dialogue

Extracting Letium from the surface will require heavy machinery. Heavy, durable, machinery, like the old Veltecite Laser Drills. Get us these materials, Prospector, and we can begin crafting a good frame for our new drilling platform.

• Deliver 5 Smart Mesh

Guide

• Compound sheets can be found in industrial crates, civilian lockers but also as a static spawn across the whole map.

• Smart Mesh is a rare spawn and can be located in higher danger zones. Starport Warehouse on Crescent Falls is one of them (on the racks), but Bright Sands also has it, in the Jungle and the Crashed Ship. Can also be found in Industrial Crates and Dumpsters, but also as a static spawn in some industrial areas.

Part 2 Dialogue

There’s no point in reinventing the wheel! Head out to the crashed Laser Drill on Bright Sands, there should still be some tech we can salvage to use for our prototype drill, it would save us a lot of time… and money.

• Find the Old Drill Head
• Deliver 1 Laser Drill Control Unit

Rewards

2300 FP

Part 3 Dialogue

Something different this time… We need efficiency data on Shotgun style weapons to help improve our own. This shouldn’t take you long, I hope.

Objectives

• Hunt 25 Striders using a Shotgun

Rewards

x1 Purple Helmet

x117 Korolev Scrip

• B9 Trenchgun
• PKR Malestrom
• Shattergun

Part 4 Dialogue

Our hunt for parts continues. Ordering these off the market would take forever, and attract too much attention. Thankfully, we have you!

Objectives

• Deliver 10 Magnetic Field Stabilizers
• Deliver 10 Circuit Boards
• Deliver 5 Multitools

Rewards

2300 FP

x117 Korolev Scrip

x20000 Krypto Marks

Guide

• Magnetic Field Stabilizers can be found in Dumpsters, but can also spawn as a static spawn in some POIs.
• Circuit Boards can be found in Briefcases, Luggage, and as a static spawn across technologically advanced rooms and areas (racks, decks next to PCs, chairs, etc.).
• Multitools are quite tough to find, and they can spawn more frequently in crowded higher danger areas. You can find them around the Dig Site and the Crashed Ship on Bright Sands, and on racks inside the Starport Warehouse on Crescent Falls.

Part 5 Dialogue

“Our osiris friend” is expecting another payment to continue their services. See that they get what they want.

Objectives

• Stash 3 Pure Focus Crystals at Pinnacle Labs
• Stash 1 Pure Veltecite at Pinnacle Labs
• Hunt 8 Creatures at Pinnacle Labs on Crescent Falls

Rewards

1200 FP

x48 Korolev Scrip

x15000 Krypto Marks

Guide

This is another Dead Drop mission and you need to bring those items with you if you have no intentions of finding them in the same raid. The quest happens at the same location, which is Pinnacle Labs on Crescent Falls. Below you can find the Dead Drop location.

• Pure Focus Crystals can be mined from Focus Veins. The Veins have blue/green sparkles and are easy to distinguish. The color of the Pure Focus Crystals is green and their spawn is quite rarer than the normal Focus Crystals.
• Pure Veltecite can be mined from Veltecite Veins that can be found around waterfalls or water in general. Modded Mineral Scanner can help you find the nodes easier.
• Then just hunt 15 Creatures at Pinnacle Labs.

Part 6 Dialogue

Our team made it back home! It will be a while before they can get back to work… why not take some time and let everyone Korolev is still king of the hill?

Objectives

• Deliver 1 Gyroscope
• Deliver 5 Miniature Reactors
• Deliver 15 Copper Wire

Rewards

3600 FP

x214 Korolev Scrip

x24000 Krypto Marks

Guide

• Gyroscopes can be found in Cabinets. They can spawn inside the Crashed Ship.
• Copper Wires can be found in Dumpsters and as static spawns laying on the ground. A common spot for farming these is at the Science Campus on Bright Sands, as that’s a big industrial area.
• Miniature Reactors are a rare spawn. They can be easily found in Storage Boxes (). The best way to get these is by doing the Puzzles (power conduits), as the rooms have a guaranteed Storage Box. There’s one at the Water Facility on and East Collection Site on Bright Sands. There’s also one at the Skeleton Observation Site on Crescent Falls. Basically said, whenever you need this item and you see a Puzzle in some POI, then just try to figure it out. It guarantees a Miniature Reactor inside the Storage Box in the room. Check the image below to see how the puzzles look like:
