More actions
Caves and caverns are natural or artificial cavities in the ground. They are generated by plaque tectonic mechanics, weathering or artificial excavation.
Speleology is the science of exploration and study of all aspect of caves and the cave environment.
Resources
StarCitizen:Mining is a profitable activity that can be performed in a cave. Every cave offers opportunities to use the multitool, while the biggest caverns allow a StarCitizen:ROC or even an StarCitizen:ARGO StarCitizen:MOLE to enter them.
Another profitable activity, depending on the celestial body where the cavern is located, is the collection of [[StarCitizen::Category:Harvestables|harvestables]].
Caves are often the destination of on-planet Investigate missions where the player will have to traverse the depths of the cave.
Fauna
It is possible to find [[StarCitizen::Category:Fauna|wildlife]] in caves. In version 4.0, this wildlife is limited to packs of cave Kopions and Stone Bugs. Kopions are typically observed in packs of 8 to 10, but heads of as many as 18 and as few as one have been observed.
