Coral source logic
Coral should push route decisions. If the crew needs three more pieces for a useful upgrade, stop roaming once those pieces are secured.
- Named POIs
- Rare valuables safes
- Contested containers
- Research gates
SAND: Raiders of Sophie Coral Chunks and Weird Coral
Track Coral as a progression material, not just a shiny pickup, then leave when it unlocks the next research step.
Quick answer
Coral Chunks are best treated as high-priority research loot. Weird Coral is rarer and riskier, so plan the extraction before chasing it.
Weird Coral risk
Weird Coral usually belongs in routes with stronger repair, better scouting and a clear exit. Do not chase it with a disposable empty plan.
- PvE pressure
- Rare drop behavior
- High loss cost
- Extract after target
