Mining Techniques & Tools

Master Barotrauma's mining with our guide to techniques and tools. Learn how to efficiently extract valuable resources from the depths of Europa.

This guide covers various mining missions and techniques available in Barotrauma. Mining is crucial for acquiring resources that can be traded for Marks, used for submarine upgrades, or crafting.

Mining Missions

Several missions involve mining or resource acquisition:

• Mining: A general mission type focused on resource extraction.
• Salvage Cave: Explore caves to salvage valuable materials.
• Salvage Ruin: Recover resources from ancient ruins.
• Salvage Wreck: Scavenge materials from shipwrecks.

Resource Acquisition

While not all missions are direct mining operations, many provide opportunities to gather resources:

• Cargo Missions: May involve transporting or acquiring specific cargo, which could include raw materials.
• Abandoned Outpost Missions: Some outpost missions, like 'Outpost recovery', involve destroying creature nests (e.g., Crawler Eggs) which indirectly relates to clearing areas for potential resource access or dealing with threats that inhabit resource-rich zones.

Successfully completing these missions awards Marks, which are essential for purchasing items and upgrading your submarine in the campaign.
