Webb Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 The galaxy in Mass Effect is absolutely huge, so here is a comprehensive guide to all the planets that aren’t part of the main missions. Firstly, this isn’t everything, but it is most things. The places you encounter across the galaxy have a really rugged terrain on the whole, whether it be the Martian like landscapes, the scenic utopias with several suns or the snow ridden wastelands, they all have different attributes, but are as equally as amazing. My personal favourite – Maji in the Vamshi area of the Armstrong cluster, two moons and a red Mars-esque landscape! Quality! Secondly, let me give you some pointers for the unchartered territories and the controlling of the Mako. The Mako is an incredibly versatile off road vehicle but it’s not invincible. It can pretty much climb most terrains, but if the decline is too steep it won’t climb it. There is always a route in to the key areas, like debris, anomalies, etc, so if you are struggling the one way, check the map and the contours and try another route. Zig zagging across steep terrain is sometimes an option. The vehicle has a boost which is the A button, however, use this more to break falls than to climb stuff as it can kill momentum and the rules of physics say, if you boost off an incline, you will only go one way, up and then down. Use the way marker ability on your map to navigate around the huge planet surfaces. Stock up on Omni gel which you can use to repair your vehicle, if you plan to do some off-roading as the Thresher Maw’s can always appear and give you a beating and there are plenty of other worries such as pirates, Geth and many more to attack you. That should be enough to get you going. Now, below is a comprehensive guide of what you can find on every planet (work in progress remember) in the galaxy. Any planet not mentioned will have nothing to do on it, or with it. Remember, these are only planets of interest that AREN’T in the storyline. Key Rare Elements – Thorium, Polonium, Uranium, Plutonium, Samarium, Light Metals – Beryllium, Magnesium, Cobalt, Titanium, Lithium Heavy Metal – Platinum, Palladium, Iridium, Nitrogen, Gold, Mercury Gas Deposit – Hydrogen, Xenon, Oxygen, Helium, Matriarch's Writings Turian Insignias Prothean Data Discs League of One Medallions and Salarian ID Tags Maroon Sea...

Anomaly – Beacon – ID Tag for Captain Thein Crashed probe Anamoly Signal – Well protected 3 turrets and 3 Geth – no real action point however... Very confusing. Overrun outpost – Geth – Part 3 of 4 of Assignment Gold deposit – not on map – north of centre Uranium deposit – not on map – near overrun outpost Vamshi – Pregel – Survey – Turian Insignia Recovered Maji – Can land Thorium deposit – not on map, southwest of centre Anomaly – Ancient debris – Turian Insignia Recovered Odd skull - - Unknown world species – relevance unknown.

Webb Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I appreciate the link, but as I said to Darth Odan earlier, if I use other guides, I have to source them... So I'll just work my own way through it Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webb Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Kinda suffered a set back. The list was nearly complete when vB decided to crash when I was editing and it lost like 3 clusters of information. I will have to go back over them at the end on a new save. Till then, I will carry on building the same way *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
