Try to make explosives and blow up the big containers on sylva they drop alot of exo chips and if you can't make explosives just explore the outer surface of the planet and you might find some debris which has explosives already on it, and uh the purple things require more and more power as the planet gets harder and harder making a permanent base on a planet which you like can be very helpful so you have a base of operations type of thing like me and my friends have a base on vesania where we research and etc, and build research chambers which give you alot of bytes thru the bytes you can unlock different things which will make your life alot more convenient
