EXPEDITIONS / VISUAL FIELD GUIDE
Prepare for Hathor Align and Mine
Understand the ground-to-orbit objective chain before organizing a crew.
01
STEP 1 OF 4
Treat this as a multi-location expedition
The 4.1 introduction places three Hathor ground alignment facilities and one orbital mining station at each of Daymar and Aberdeen.
This is a preparation and objective-chain guide. It does not invent a current room map or fixed item spawn. Assign a navigator, objective-item carrier and someone responsible for transport.

Build a site and item checklist before departure
Separate controls: F1 Read the current Hathor objective and identify its moon. Make a crew note for the three ground facilities, orbital stage, objective items and extraction team.
What you should seeEveryone is working on the same objective chain, with a carrier for required items.

If you cannot identify the live objective or required stage, treat the visit as reconnaissance rather than promising the crew a completed mining reward.

Read the current Hathor objective and identify its moon. Make a crew note for the three ground facilities, orbital stage, objective items and extraction team.
Expected result: Everyone is working on the same objective chain, with a carrier for required items.
If it did not work: If you cannot identify the live objective or required stage, treat the visit as reconnaissance rather than promising the crew a completed mining reward.
Align the ground sites and keep the batteries
The published sequence uses keycards to progress through facilities, access alignment terminals and collect batteries. All three ground alignments contribute to the orbital objective.
Recommended crew record: note which site was completed and who carries each item. Do not let the only battery carrier wander into a separate fight without telling the group.
Complete and record each ground alignment
At each facility follow the current keycard and terminal prompts. After alignment, record that site and who carries its battery before moving to the next.
Expected result: The crew can account for the completed sites and physical objective items.
If it did not work: If a door is blocked, read its actual access requirement. This source does not verify a universal keycard room or guaranteed spawn.
Complete the orbital stage, then return to the ground
The official chain takes the acquired batteries to the orbital station to power its mining beam, followed by a final ground-bunker activation that opens a mineable cave.
Before activating, regroup and check that the extraction team can reach the resulting area. The reward still needs mining, storage and transport.
Carry the chain through orbit and back to extraction
Bring the required batteries to the orbital stage and follow its power and activation objectives. Before the final ground activation, confirm the mining and transport team is ready.
Expected result: The objective advances to an accessible mining opportunity and the group can use it.
If it did not work: A completed combat room is not the end of the industrial chain. If equipment or an item is missing, regroup before opening the next stage.
- Ground sites tracked
- Batteries accounted for
- Orbital stage complete
- Extraction equipment available
Before you commit
Other players and hostile fauna can interrupt the route. A completed alignment is not a guarantee of exclusive access or a peaceful cave.
Exact room-by-room instructions and current reset behavior need an in-game verification run. Follow the live objectives if they differ from the historical introduction.
