Successfully completing the Organics Matter objective in The Alters demands acquiring 180 units of biological material. This resource plays a vital role in fuel synthesis, crucial for relocating your shelter and evading lethal solar exposure on this hostile world.
Acquiring organic resources in The Alters

Initial scanning operations and establishing resource outposts provide access to biological materials. These collection efforts might coincide with mandatory retreats due to environmental hazards or exhaustion. Confusion about resource gathering mechanics often arises after establishing infrastructure.
Return to extraction sites via rapid transit systems accessible through base exits. Time management proves critical, as operations require daylight hours and calm atmospheric conditions. Environmental scanners should confirm safe travel conditions before departure.
Operate collection terminals via interface panels at resource sites. The game’s mechanics emphasize manual labor over automation – each production cycle consumes in-game time. Modern spaceflight technology contrasts sharply with primitive resource extraction methods.
Each operational period yields 14 units, with initial storage containing 100. Monitor inventories through the storage interface. Six complete cycles fulfill requirements, enabling kitchen construction. This process introduces core gameplay loops centered on time allocation and workforce management.
