Rare Resource Node

s can be found across the map. They can be harvested using a hammer or sledgehammer and will typically yield a combination of Components, Aluminium and Iron. They are ideal early-game as they provide resources that are typically in high demand.

High Yield Node
can also appear as high yield node, similar to how Salvage and Component nodes do. They have a little shiny ball of light floating above them.

Upon breaking high yield node, the subsequent nodes will always spawn high yield nodes as well.

High yield nodes seem to drop much higher quantity of Aluminum and Iron than standard ones.

Trivia

 * Resource nodes do not appear to spawn in clusters.
 * They appear to spawn frequently near roads.
 * They appear to be more common near borders.
 * The text "gathering rare resources" will display when salvaging the node.
