The best Pure Quartz spots

Ranked by how many nodes fit inside one base: a base reaches about 35 m from its Palbox, and its Pals mine what’s inside. A large deposit counts double. “Within 100 m” is a short loop on foot. Coordinates are the game’s own map readout. The map can’t tell how flat the ground is, so look before you build.
