Overview
This guide describes a short/simple method to always get into the deep caves that requires very little preparation.
The method
Step 1 : Plan on visiting the deep caves.
Step 2 : Find/fabricate and keep an impact weapon with maximum damage being 42 or above as early as possible (or late, if you’re confident in your luck).
Step 3 : Break the reinforced walls (not the barriers) blocking you from the deep caves.
You need to be fast enough so that 3 momentum changes the weapon’s maximum damage to at least 45, which, combined with the walls’s weakness to impact weapons, deals >56 damage.
If you’re too slow, consider dropping stuff and switching to a faster propulsion method. If you don’t have any other suitable propulsion method, core movement is enough, even if overweight 0X1.
Step Obvious : If you dropped stuff, get it back before entering the deep caves. You can leave the
the impact weapon behind if you don’t want to keep it.
Notes :
This method does not antagonize zionites.
If you know that you’ll have to drop stuff, consider also bringing a matter pod to counter matter losses from re-equipping.
You only have to break 2 walls and probably also a terminal to go through. (1 wall to reach the room with 3 terminals, 1 terminal to give you enough space to gain 3 momentum, and 1 wall to reach the deep caves.)
The double the in step Obvious is intentional.
