Disambig.svg This article is about crash sites containing Hard Drives. For the drop pod the pioneer lands in at the beginning of the game, see Drop-pod.
The crashed FICSIT Freighter in a Crash Site.
A Hard Drive can be retrieved from a opened Drop Pod.

Crash Sites are crashed FICSIT Freighters that can be found in the world, carrying  Hard Drives. There are 118 Crash Sites in total. Crash Sites consist of:

  • Freighter Drop-pod, containing the Hard Drive
  • Scattered components on the ground, which can be picked up (as listed below)
  • Other scattered wreckage

Locating

Retrieving the Hard Drive

Unlock requirements

Unlocking a majority of pods will often require a certain amount of a part or power supplied. If those requirements are fulfilled, the handle in the UI becomes functional, allowing to open the hatch and retrieve the Hard Drive within.

  • For those requiring a certain part, the part will be automatically inserted into the slot in the pod. The part cannot be retrieved once the hatch is opened.
    • Occasionally, the required part can be found scattered around the Crash Site
  • For those requiring a certain amount of power to be supplied, Biomass Burners can be utilized to power the pod temporarily. Most require less than 100MW, but only seven exceed 100MW and the max is 420MW.
    • If connecting the pod to the main power grid, make sure to disconnect it once the drive is collected, as they will continue to draw power even after the hard drive has been retrieved.

Some pods have no unlock requirement, the handle is always functional and the drive can be retrieved at no cost.

Scattered components

As of v1.0.1.4, the following items can be found scattered around the Crash Sites:

All scattered items are fixed, including the amounts (e.g. two different games will have the same items in the same amounts, unless they are changed by a game patch). In addition to these Crash Sites and their loot, there is a large cave to the east of Islands containing lots of lootable items.
