Crash Sites are a critical piece of Satisfactory: they provide not only useful items, but also invaluable Hard Drives, which teach alternative recipes that frequently have higher efficiency than the base recipes. Locating and raiding Crash Sites can be a daunting task, particularly given the rarity of some items required. Strategically, some sites are more valuable or easier to visit than others. This guide aims to help the player in determining how to proceed with the task of gathering the contents of the various Crash Sites.

Below is a large-scale map of all Crash Sites (courtesy: Satisfactory-Calculator.com).

To unlock all sites, you need:

150 Steel Beam
84 Electromagnetic Control Rod
70 Rubber
70 Silica
65 Cooling System
63 Quickwire
60 Plastic
57 Alclad Aluminum Sheet
54 Heat Sink
41 Turbo Motor
40 Copper Sheet
37 Modular Frame
35 High Speed Connector
32 Quartz Crystal
30 Motor
30 Encased Industrial Beam
27 Rotor
26 Heavy Modular Frame
25 Screw
20 Crystal Oscillator
16 Computer
15 Aluminum Casing
15 Circuit Board
12 Fused Modular Frame
10 Solid Biofuel
10 Stator
5 Reinforced Iron Plate
5 Iron Rod
2 Black Powder
1 Superposition Oscillator

30 pods require nothing at all to open, 23 require power to open, and the remaining 65 need items from the above list to open for a total of 118 drop pods. You only need to find 100 to get all alternate recipes.

Using just what you find at the crash sites and Biomass Burners for localized temporary power, you can unlock 116 of the pods straight away (assuming you can survive whatever threats are around said sites). Ostensibly you could gather all of these upon completing onboarding, but it's advisable to at least wait until you have the Xeno-Basher and Rebar Gun before you go hunting as many crash sites are protected by very strong threats.

Each crash site has exactly 6 items around it, with a few exceptions noted in the guide below.

One of the tamest biomes to hunt for hard drives in, though they are far-spread.
