Geode Caves

Caves are where the main exploration takes part in Geode. You can enter them from the Mining Facility in the Geode Hub.

How effective your resource gathering and movement are depends on your Modules, which can be crafted and upgraded.

Companion Eggs can rarely be found when exploring.

There are exploring related adventures which can be used to enhance your rewards.

Care for Critters

Some adventures or reliquaries require you to care for cave critters, an icon will appear over their head and you have to throw the appropriate item which can be crafted from the Crystallogy Workbench.

For hungry critters throw Critter Treats
For injured critters throw Curing Kit
For coldcritters throw Comfort Blanket
For overburdened critters use your Omni Tool

You can also stun critters with your Climbing Claw
