When you touch down on Quasadron IX, it's now time to make our final march toward the last supply crate. The planet is massive and full of gorgeous topography that looks like an alien African Savannah.
Speaking of which, within the Savannah Lake location, you'll unlock another new mission called: The Lower PH The Better.
The Lower PH The Better
Back to top ↑
This is a relatively simple but necessary detour to bolster out your gear with one of the crucial upgrades to complete the game. Within the Savannah Lake area, head over to the pointer and you'll find some slug-like creatures called Sluggator patrolling. They'll also have tongues that will whip in your direction and pull you in so just keep shooting to kill them.
Look out for a cracked hole in the ground and use your Stomp Boost to fall down to the lower area, where you'll find the Alpha Sluggator patrolling.
Stagger and capture, then research back at the base. Once that's done, you need to make sure you have the following resources to craft:
Carbon: 550
Silicon: 375
Aluminium: 425
Next, go ahead and print the Blight Bomb Stabilizer from the printer. In doing so, this will complete the mission.
With the Blight Bomb Stabilizer in hand, we can now use blight bombs as projectiles to launch into the amber to melt it. The green plants with bulbs on are where you can restock (pictured below).
The aim here is to basically make it up to the peak of the main rock-face in the middle of the map which – if you've been exploring thoroughly up until this point – you've only really been running around the periphery of.
When you make it to the Florian's Fuchsia Festivus area, look out for this rock with amber at the top of it (pictured below) looking like a beacon to the south. It's near the water and hard to miss:
Break the amber and use this platform to climb up to the higher levels. It may take some doing because the platforming here is very meticulous and requires you to hit just right so you climb up from the edge.
Also watch out for the green goo on the platforms beyond this because they will slow you down if you're not careful. To avoid getting stuck, take a running jump and make sure you activate the teleporter on the other side too!
If you get stuck over which direction to go in the next area with all the pink grass, if you cycle around to the north, you'll find a route up by using your water hose to create platforms.
Once you get to the Summit, you'll find a Shrine location (more on that in our guide HERE) and the final crate in the middle of the area, with a teleporter in the distance. Activate the crate and grab the Remote Drone Controller.
With a forcefield around the area, you can now control your drone to access previously inaccessible areas that can be very useful to grab supply crates and solve puzzles. For this one, you simply need to fly as EKO outside the green forcefield (you can just fly straight out, it won't damage the drone) and plug into the three consoles in the back by hitting Square (X) to plug in.
Once you've done all three, the forcefield will lift. It will also complete the mission Taking Control and That Has My Name On It too!

Scientists create 'world's smallest violin'
If you have a complaint over your timetables or exams, Loughborough University may not be the place to air it. For physicists at the university believe they have created the world's smallest violin using nanotechnology. They say work on the tiny instrument, which is smaller than the width of a human hair, will help with research into an array of applications from improving the efficiency of computers to finding new ways of harvesting energy. Prof Kelly Morrison, head of the university's physics department, said: "A lot of what we've learned in the process has actually laid the groundwork for the research we're now undertaking." The violin measures 35 microns long and 13 microns wide, with a micron being one millionth of a metre. A human hair typically ranges from 17 to 180 microns in diameter, for comparison. It was created to test the capabilities of the university's new nanolithography system, which allows researchers to build and study tiny structures. "Our nanolithography system allows us to design experiments that probe materials in different ways – using light, magnetism, or electricity – and observe their responses," Prof Morrison said. "Once we understand how materials behave, we can start applying that knowledge to develop new technologies, whether it's improving computing efficiency or finding new ways to harvest energy. "But first, we need to understand the fundamental science and this system enables us to do just that." The phrase "can you hear the world's smallest violin playing just for you?" is thought to have first appeared on an episode of TV show M*A*S*H in 1978, and usually mocks overly dramatic complaints. The violin is a microscopic image rather than a playable instrument and has not been officially confirmed as the world's smallest violin, the university said. To create it, Prof Morrison was joined by Dr Naëmi Leo and research technician Dr Arthur Coveney. A small chip was coated with two layers of gel-like material called a resist, before it was placed under the NanoFrazor, a nano-sculpting machine. The machine uses thermal scanning probe lithography, a technique where a heated, needle-like tip "writes" highly precise patterns at the nanoscale. This allowed the violin design to be etched on to the chip's surface layer. After it was etched, the underlayer of the resist was dissolved to leave behind a violin-shaped hole. The university said a thin layer of platinum was then deposited into the chip before a final rinse in acetone removed any remaining material to leave the finished violin. It takes around three hours to create a violin using the nanolithography system, but the research team's final version took several months as they refined and tested different techniques. "I'm really excited about the level of control and possibilities we have with the set-up," Prof Morrison added. Follow BBC Leicester on Facebook, on X, or on Instagram.

Michael Mosley's family pay tribute after ‘hardest year of lives' on first anniversary of his death
THE family of TV doctor Michael Mosley have described the past year as 'the hardest of our lives' in a tribute on the first anniversary of his death. Michael, who died aged 67 while on holiday with his wife Clare on the Greek island of Symi last June, was known for popularising diets and fronting science programmes. 2 His wife wrote on Instagram: 'It's hard to believe that a year has passed since we lost Michael. 'Not a day goes by without thinking of him — his warmth, his laughter, his endless curiosity about the world, and his deep love for our family. 'This past year has been the hardest of our lives.' Last month, the family set up a research project to honour his memory and help improve the nation's metabolic health. A clinical research fellowship will be established with King's College London and the Chronic Disease Research Foundation. The family added: 'We are trying to carry on the work Michael was so passionate about. "To live with purpose and joy, as he would have wanted us to.' In December, a coroner ruled that Michael's death on Symi was most likely due to 'heatstroke (accidental) or a non-identified pathological cause'. Michael Mosley's son Dr Jack makes This Morning debut 10 months after TV star's tragic death 2

Still Game star first made people laugh with his impersonations at school in Lanarkshire
Gavin Mitchell is best known for his role as Boabby the Barman. Still Game star Gavin Mitchell has revealed how being plunked in front of the telly as a child helped plant a seed for his acting career . Originally from the 'lovely fishing village of Springburn' in the north of Glasgow, the 60-year-old is best known for his role as the acerbic Boabby the Barman in the sitcom's fictional Craiglang. His family moved around a lot when he was growing up and he spent a large part of his childhood in North Lanarkshire. Gavin's dad was a film projectionist in Coatbridge and the family had a spell living there as well as stints in Airdrie and Glenboig. He attended St Barbara's Primary, and Our Lady and St Joseph's Primary in Glenboig, before moving up to St Patrick's High in Coatbridge. 'I was all over the place,' he admits. I didn't really have a lot of pals and was sort of plunked in front of the telly. 'I'm not formally trained [in acting] but I think partly through the moving about, it became a defence mechanism - I used to make people laugh a lot at school by doing impersonations.' Gavin's first love was art and it was while working casual at a famous Glasgow theatre that the opportunity arose to take to the stage for the first time. He said: 'It ended up it was a dare, a good mate of mine Iain Muir and I didn't know what we were going to do in life. He was a joiner but didn't finish his apprenticeship. I was doing casual theme painting at the Citizens Theatre and he was doing casual joinery work. "We had the skinny, peely-wally look, with black hair, and he was asked to be an extra in the next show. He told me he didn't want to do it. I said, 'What? I'd love to do that'. "So, he said if you do it, I'll do it and we shook hands on it. That's how it started and from there on in I learned on the job, I was at the Citizens for four or five years, working with Glenda Jackson and Rupert Everett and people like that.' Look Who It Isnae – An Audience with Gavin Mitchell, is about to head to a number of theatres around Scotland this month. It will see the 60-year-old actor offer up behind-the-scenes stories and insight from his years of working in theatre, film, TV and radio. Top of the list will be his time as Boabby the Barman in Still Game, having first worked with the cast members in the mid-90s. 'I worked with Ford [Kiernan] and Greg [Hemphill} on a sketch show in 1996 called Pulp Video and that's sort of where the Still Game characters first started,' Gavin revealed. 'Greg and I played old men in a couple of the sketches, then out of boredom while we were waiting about we just started talking like two old men and making each other laugh, Ford thought there was something in it and wrote a couple of sketches. "Jane McCarry [Isa] was in Pulp Video as well and Sanjeev [Kohli - who played Navid] worked on it as a writer. I was Winston originally. We all kind of met then, almost 30 years ago.' Although the last Still Game television show was recorded around seven years ago Gavin admits he is still often called a p***k by passers-by, a term often-used by Jack and Victor when greeting Boabby in The Clansman. 'It's always done with a fondness,' he said. 'It's kind of weird as Still Game only took about two weeks out of my year. Despite the fact I'd been acting for about 15 years before that and all the work I've done since, I've done all sorts, but I'll always be known for Boabby.' Gavin has taken on a variety of roles over the years, from film, telly and radio, right through to opera. He's been playing Humphrey Bogart's role in Cassablanca on and off for 15 years, a role he'll revive at this year's Edinburgh Festival and at Oran Mor in Glasgow. He has no regrets over the roles he's taken on over the years, in fact it's the opposite. 'That road leads to madness," said Gavin. "It's more about the things you didn't do that you think, 'I wish I'd taken that, I shouldn't have bottled that'. Sometimes it's just down to nerves and confidence. 'It's all about confidence and actors take a lot of rejection, there's lots of things can affect you that people forget. We live in a society now that's so based on fame, success and celebrity that people think everyone just waltzes about going 'Hey!'. Despite his own success Gavin says he would advise anyone thinking of taking up acting as a career to think carefully. He continued: 'It used to be around 80 per cent unemployment in acting, it's now something like 98 per cent. There's only around two per cent working at any time, and there's more and more actors. 'You don't need to have a union card anymore, so anyone can act, but a lot of younger actors are undercutting each other - they're doing it for less money and worse conditions.' *Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.
