Plan the run, not just the coordinate
A node list is a starting point. Use the Scorched Earth resource atlas to combine Crystal with the other resources on your route, drop pins, read the density heatmap and copy coordinates straight into a waypoint. If the return trip costs more than the farm saves, compare farming and transport lines or resource options instead.
