You also need some aluminum fairly need by, it isn’t as required (you can ship it from further away but prefably not cross map), but having a good high lvl aluminum nearby would be good too. Scavengers don’t get many claims, and they build all their resources off carbon, so getting that high level carbon is really needed, and having multiple carbons to amplify that latter is even better. Scavenger: You are looking for a good large amount of carbon, ideally, a triple carbon with one as a level 3 carbon (at least one high lvl carbon is really needed). Let’s start with the more unique and specific. Don’t pick a colony type and say “this is what I am going to build” before you see what the resources are like (you will box yourself into a much worse position if you do this most of the time). To answer this question you got to know what to look for each of the different types of colonies. Ok, so you are pinging around, now you have to decide (1) is this plot of land good, and (2) if so what type of colony do I want to found here.

If you see a bunch of resources (but don’t know what they are yet) spending a ping to go see what they are is also good.

Most likely if something near the starting location is good, someone else is going to see it and pick it up or you will be fighting over it with others, better to go get your own good plot of land. Instead try to pick a direction heading towards flat land (easier to build on), and start pinging in that direction getting away from the starting location. First, you don’t want to ping a lot around the starting location, everyone starts there. So let’s start at the beginning, the game has just started what do you do.
