Tips for Farming Neurodes

Use mods like Thief’s Wit, Loot Detector, and Animal Instinct to identify resource caches on your mini-map. They will appear as standard loot icons that won’t be automatically collected when near them.
Resource caches make a unique sound when you approach; turning off the background music can help you hear them better.
Look for resource caches that emit a distinct white light, different from the usual green or red markers.
