Overview[]
Caves can be found in rocky outcrops or the sides of mountains on Icarus in all map locations and are the source of the majority of Resources that aid in advancing tech. While some cave entrances are underwater, others need to be mined through to enter, which is indicated by a 
when hovering over a mineable wall.
Entering a cave will apply the Underground debuff, which can cause Cave Sickness if prospectors remain in a cave for too long. Caves may spawn Caveworms and/or Bees, which will respawn after a set amount of time. Some caves have water pools, Mushrooms and pit hazards. Caves can connect to other caves, some of which are tunnels to other Regions on the map. After an update/patch, caves that you have mined the entrance to enter may become resealed.
