On this planet, the technique is mostly… Show up in the first hour, use an atlas with kindling in it, bap everything in the caves with a totem.
My wife and I gathered a similar amount in the first hour, but then had RL obligations and came back a few hours later and it was no longer possible to gather that fast anymore.
I’ve been to a handful of exos, but never been able to hit one in the first hour. It’s a very different experience. Doing this exo this early has made me like exos less, and I’ll likely post about it elsewhere.
I was also very lucky and saw the posting on the forum just when posted - which is a premiere for me - I’m usually at work (EU)
I also went without any atlas.
