How to Find & Get Resin in Astroneer

Resin is an essential resource in Astroneer that you’ll need for crafting and building. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to stock up, this guide will show you exactly where to find resin and how to collect it efficiently. You’ll find it scattered across the planet surface, and with a bit of digging, you can accumulate large quantities.

Where to Find Resin

Resin can generally be found on the surface of the map, but sometimes you’ll need to dig to locate it. When you spot resin on the ground, it has a distinctive macaroni-like appearance that makes it fairly easy to recognize once you know what you’re looking for.

How to Collect Resin

To collect resin, press E on your keyboard (if playing on PC) to take out your gun. Once your gun is equipped, simply left-click on the resin to mine it and add it to your inventory.

Harvesting Large Deposits

Resin often appears in very large batches. If you find yourself running low on resin, continue digging in the area where you found the initial deposit. You’ll often notice small pieces sticking out of the ground or large sections protruding from the terrain. As you keep digging, you’ll discover more and more resin in the surrounding area.

Finding Resin in Caves

If you can’t find resin on the surface of the map, try walking around and exploring the area. Look for cave entrances, as resin deposits can sometimes be located deeper underground. When you find a promising cave entrance, dig around the interior walls and floors—you may uncover significant resin deposits this way.

Managing Your Resin in Inventory

Once resin is in your inventory, it appears in a corn-like shape. You can take the resin out and place it around your base or anywhere else you need it. To quickly return resin to your inventory, simply Shift+Click on the item and it will be stored away.

Summary

Finding and collecting resin in Astroneer is straightforward once you know what to look for. Search the surface for the distinctive macaroni-shaped deposits, use your gun to mine them, explore caves for deeper deposits, and manage your inventory with ease. With these tips, you’ll have plenty of resin for your Astroneer adventures.
