Once you arrive you will notice that the field is surrounded by a perimeter of trees and foliage that will be able to conceal you from enemies. Here you will want to judge how much inventory space you have between your backpack and your truck. Each ingredient will take up 2 inventory slots, so you will want to plan the amount you will need to collect accordingly. You will also still be in proximity of the Athira rebel outpost, so will want to remain vigilant as you collect and leave as quickly as possible to the lithium mine.

Once you arrive, you will notice that the mine itself is housed within a large ditch. You will most likely be able to conceal your presence by placing your vehicle directly in front of the actual mine before beginning. This mine is extremely remote and not an illegal area, so you will not have to worry too much about being bothered while collecting.

The phosphorus field is very exposed with a lot of sand surrounding the collection area. This is also a very poor combat position, so remain extra vigilant for potential thieves. Once you have collected the final ingredient, you will head further west towards the crystal meth Lab.

You may also choose to process an entire vehicle full of raw materials into processed items. Players can select to process from a selected vehicle but multiple players may not process from the same vehicle.The time taken to process the inventory of the vehicle will be displayed and canceling processing will process all items up until the point of cancellation.

After you are done processing, it is best to leave the processor as quickly as possible and begin your way towards the Kavala drug dealer located on the northern side of the city.
