==Hints and Tips==
You will need a Deep- Mining Drill (as well as its power source) to mine the Abyssal Oxite. Abyssal Oxite is radioactive and deals damage over time to the Prospector carrying it. Placing it in a container (campfire, etc) will stop the effects. Research takes 60 minutes to complete. The Stabilization Catalyst is unlocked at 35% research progress, and is crafted at the Machining Bench with 40 Oxite, 30 Ice, and 4 Carbon Fiber. The Stabilization Catalyst removes the heat modifier when carried. The Containment System is unlocked at 50% research progress, and is crafted at an Anvil with 2 Epoxy and 8 Steel Ingots. The Containment System removes the radiation damage when carried. The following resources are required to craft the 3 Environmental Monitoring Stations: 18 Platinum Ingots, 36 Steel Screws, 60 Leather, and 12 Concrete Mix. Each Environmental Monitoring Station requires 19 Abyssal Oxite to complete its research. The reward for completing the optional objective is 200 exotics, which will be deployed to a stash inside a cave at O7, northeast of the Ring Lake. Bring an Orbital Exchange Device if you don't want to carry these 10 stacks of exotics.
