Gathering

You can gather Chaosium in two ways. The first is by defeating Vultures, which drop the resource as loot. The second is by collecting Chaosium Barrels from Vulture strongholds.

One of the best spots to farm Chaosium in the early game is the Frost Forge, the Vulture stronghold in the Vena Fjord region. The area is filled with regular and Elite Vultures. There are also quite a few Chaosium Barrels inside the large cavern in the stronghold.

Chaosium in Once Human is used as fuel for Chaosium Lanterns and Thermal Towers.

Chaosium Lanterns

Chaosium Lanterns use Chaosium as fuel to maintain temperature.

If the temperature is -10°C or below, Chaosium Lanterns will increase it by 15°C. If the temperature is 30°C or above, they will decrease it by 15°C.

Thermal Towers

Thermal Towers also use Chaosium as fuel. The amount of Chaosium needed depends on their temperature effect and radiation range, so you should keep resupplying the depot.

Thermal Towers also produce Chaosium Waste, which you can purify to get pure Chaosium and other materials.
