Ah, Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – where I spend more time hauling crystals than a cosmic jeweler. Resources? They're rarer than a MULE with manners in this sequel! Forget casually scooping up lost materials like in the first game; now Australia's barren landscapes demand you earn every ceramic chunk and alloy sliver. That's where the mines come in – glorious subterranean vending machines that trade your hard-won Chiral Crystals for construction goodies. But finding them? Trickier than spotting a BT in a sandstorm. After weeks of tripping over rocks (and occasionally voidout craters), I've mapped all eight locations for us fellow porters. Strap on those Odradeks, friends – we're going mining!

🔍 Smoke Hill Mine

My first pit stop! Nestled northeast of the Government's Base like a shy geode, this ceramic dispensary sits dangerously close to an enemy camp. Pro tip: Sneak past those trigger-happy goons unless you fancy becoming target practice. Fork over 800 Chiral Crystals, and voila – 960 Ceramics materialize! Perfect for building that tenth safehouse you totally need.

⚙️ Mine North Of F1

Northwest Australia's gem, chilling northeast of West Fort Knot with Rainbow Valley as its moody neighbor. This one’s the jackpot for Special Alloys – the duct tape of the apocalypse. Just sacrifice 2,000 Chiral Crystals for 4,800 alloys. Worth it? Absolutely! Your backpack upgrades will thank you.

🧪 Twin Valley Mine

Ever walked into an enemy camp thinking "this'd make a lovely mine"? Me neither, until now! North of The Architect and east of F2 South Distribution Center, it’s hilariously guarded by foes. Tip: Clear hostiles first unless you enjoy dodging bullets while donating 1,200 Chiral Crystals for 720 Chemicals. I learned the hard way.

🏜️ Mine North Of Tar Lake

Ceramics galore south of The Architect! Surrounded by monorails and melancholy, this spot requires 1,600 Chiral Crystals for 3,200 Ceramics. It’s northeast of The Metagenomicist – say that five times fast while hauling cargo!

💥 Mine Near F3 Crater

Unlock this post-Main Order 21 after meeting The Dowser. Northeast of their terminal, it’s a resin wonderland east of the F3 Crater. Trade 1,000 Chiral Crystals for 3,200 Resins. Ideal for crafting shoes that won’t dissolve in timefall!

❄️ Northeastern Mine

From The Motherhood, trek north until Australia practically ends. Seriously – it’s colder than a cryptobiote’s sneeze up there. Your reward? 4,000 Metals for 1,200 Chiral Crystals. Perfect for bridges over those pesky tar lakes!

🏝️ Savanna Mine

A quirky little island northwest of East Fort Knot! I almost sailed past it. Center of the island hides this alloy treasure trove – 900 Chiral Crystals nets 1,920 Special Alloys. Small but mighty!

🌊 Mine North Of F6

Last but not least! On Australia’s eastern edge, just south of The Tar Therapist’s pad. Hand over 1,000 Chiral Crystals for 3,200 Resins. Great pit stop after therapy sessions for your blistered feet.
