How To Get Materials From Bungle Burrows

Custom Contraptions are some of the best Exhibits you can have in Two Point Museum, if you don’t mind the occasional fire risk. Unlike most of the other things you can build in the Workshop, though, they require more than just cash and time to construct.

Two Point Museum: 10 Best Guests

These visitors to your Two Point Museum can really help you out.

While the game is very forthcoming in telling you what materials you need for each project, you might find yourself needing a bit more guidance when it comes to actually finding them. Never fear, though, because we’ve got the locations of all five resources and the best ways to get them right here.

How To Get Mulch

Unlike the mineral resources deep below Bungle Burrows, Mulch has to be produced inside the museum. You can do this by dragging any Botany Exhibit into a Mulch-O-Matic. Of course, that means you’ll need to build a Mulch-O-Matic first.

The Mulch-O-Matic costs 75 Metal and 100 Whirlicogs to build, plus $7500. See below for information on getting those materials.

Mulching a Botany Exhibit destroys it permanently, so it’s always best to use lower-quality samples instead of Epic and Pristine specimens when you can. When in doubt, send a Botany Expert with Survival Skills to the Allotment Labs with a First Aid Kit. It’s a quick Expedition, and it’s guaranteed to yield a Sickly Pear that you can Mulch right away when it arrives.

How To Get Materials From Bungle Burrows

All the other materials in the game are found in specific locations in Bungle Burrows. These Expeditions require Janitors, and get more dangerous the rarer the resource you’re going for. If you haven’t unlocked the location you need, check out our guide on Points Of Interest to find the correct requirements.

Metals – Oreful Quarry

Oreful Quarry provides Metals, usually around 175 but sometimes more if you’re lucky, each time you visit. It requires a single Janitor for the Expedition team.

If the Janitor is Rank 5 or more, they can avoid the potential Rockslide Injury Event; otherwise, have them bring a First Aid Kit to return home unscathed.

If you don’t need the First Aid Kit, bring an XP-dition Journal instead to boost your Janitor’s experience gain from the trip!

Whirlicogs – Surplus Supplies

A trip to Surplus Supplies, right next to Oreful Quarry, typically yields about 100 Whirlicogs. You need two Janitors for this Expedition instead of just one, and the cost is also doubled at $3000 instead of $1500.

Again, you’ll probably want a First Aid Kit to avoid injuries from Rockslides. If your team’s combined Rank is less than five, there’s also a chance of slightly delaying the Expedition due to a Broken Drill Event. At most, though, that’s only a twelve-day trip in total, so the crew will be back with your Whirlicogs before you know it.

Crystal Moss – Crystal Caves

The Crystal Caves are in the bottom-right corner of Bungle Burrows, and they’re much more dangerous than either Oreful Quarry or Surplus Supplies. You’ll typically get about five Crystals from a single journey here.

The hazards and crew requirements are identical to those of Surplus Supplies, with one very important exception; if your combined team Rank is less than ten, the Cave Collapse Event has a chance of triggering, causing one of your Janitors to be permanently lost.

Whatever you do, don’t send an expedition whose combined Rank is exactly eight or nine. This will prevent all the other events but sill leave Cave Collapse available, making it the only Event that can possibly trigger! The same goes for the First Aid Kit; going with fewer Ranks and forgoing the First Aid Kit gives you a chance that a character will be injured, rather than killed.

Golden Truffle – Golden Mine

The Golden Mine is in the deepest part of Bungle Burrows, and you’ll have to pass through the Counter Intelligence Labs and the Charge Labs in order to reach it. Once you’re there, send your best Janitors; you’re unlikely to come back with more than one or two Golden Truffles per trip.

Luckily, there are no deadly events in the Golden Mines. Bring a First Aid Kit, and you’ll be safe from the Chemical Combustion hazard. If your combined team Rank is eight or higher, though, your Janitors will get an XP bonus. If they have a total rank of ten or higher, negating the Chemical Combustion without the First Aid Kit, bring the XP-dition Journal along for even more experience!
