The most incomprehensive guide to SC farming

So? You woke up this morning and hopped on your favourite twitching corpse of a game and saw a new useless warbond coming out? Probably thought to yourself, “Hey, that's a new no-good armor? Great Scott! Ima need some creds for that!” — right?
Well, look no further! I will most certainly help you with that.

Let's get down to business now.
In terms of stratagems grab a jetpack, a car and a grenade launcher just in case.
Take stamina booster or stims.
Now drop in and start farming!
Easy, right? Oh, blast it! I forgot to tell you which planet to ransack!
Let's correct that...

Alrighty then, you must be wondering what are the best planets for farming SC's, yes?
• Desert
Yep, that's it. Desert. Not the acid desert though. Why desert? Simply because it's a stash house full of credits. The most beautiful, super awesome, sexy stash house!
Jokes aside, it is the most consistent biome for farming, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
The map conditions look something like that:
And the almost perfect layout of the map looks like this:

Relax, in the case of Democracy not yet reaching the deserted planets marked for pillaging liberation there are a few substitutes. Arctic planets and barren moons can sometimes yield a good loot too! So farm them for a while.

What's a guide without some tips? Exactly! Nothing!
So, let me impart some wisdom to your Democracy-filled noggin.
Once you've finally touched down on the planet for the first time you should just try and farm to the best of your abilities. We're not in a hurry, forget about that min/maxing BS everybody else writes around here. We are farming for our soul, not to try and outrun some imaginary clock, right?
Once you think you're done with this mission, just exit to your ship, no need to extract - credits and medals are instantly added to your balance once you pick them up. Cool, don't you think?
Now that we've done our first drop on the desired planet, let's talk about choosing the right mission to farm on. I should also tell you that you're only farming on 1-2 diffs, but you already knew that, didn't you? And that most of the POI's are scattered in a circular pattern accross the map's edges, rarely the center. Bet you knew that too, you absolute beauty of a man.

• Terminate Illegal Broadcast
  
• Upload Escape Pod Data
  
• Spread Democracy (Though it's good for diff 1, there's a chance there'd be two flags on diff 2.)

Make sure not to lose your breath on elimination, destruction of supply bases and everything else that basically takes the place of POI's and absolutely destroys your profits. We're here to get ourselves some brand new warbond, remember?
Now, want to know why I told you not to bother too much with your first drop? Some "gamers" will tell ya to watch out for pillars of light from crashed pods and buildings when you're farming, but I'm not going to tell you that. Scratch all of that, I'm about to give you the ultimate tool to scan for POI's around the map... The map itself. Or the minimap, to be precise. You see, after you abruptly leave your first game of the day you suddenly develop psychic abilities and now can find POI's just by hovering over your minimap.
Looks something like that:

Notice how I'm standing on one side of the map but can essentially check every single pixel of the minimap for POI's? That's your best help if you're farming solo. If you're farming with a team you don't need your minimap at all beyond the first 10 seconds after the drop.
There's one entity... It's presence can be felt on every single planet, every single operation... An entity that I hate with the whole essence of my soul... The DirtBox. Or a simple cache, whatever, you're no fun. Avoid it at all costs, because it'll simply waste your time (I mean, I know we're farming for our soul and whatnot, but this thing is driving me nuts) and make you as dense and vexed as I am every single time I stumble upon it by mistake. Though I'm usually dense most of the day, not just because of that thing.



REMEMBER HOW IT LOOKS LIKE AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET!

If you're just starting on your journey to mastering SC's farming just keep in mind that you'll get better and better with each session. You'll start memorizing every outline of every POI and after some time you'll be cracking them containers and bunkers with brutal efficiency! No need to listen to salty idiots who farm endlessly for days on end and essentially forget they're a living person, not a fearless, brainless soldier of the Democracy. Always host your missions and you'll be dandy. Someone questions your coherence? Kick them mercilessly! Sounds good? I think so too. If you are playing with your friends and start seeing only the worst objective types simply make your friend a leader of the party - they'll have a whole new set of missions! Also, try switching planets for a few drops if you feel like farm is drying out.

Thanks for shifting through my yapping! You're a true soldier of Liberty!
Hope it was at least somewhat informative and helpful to some of you. I personally think it's a very light reading, not littered with useless graphs, percentages and all that stuff "professionals" usually toss in their guides.
Take care of yourself, do your chores, and remember—Liberty will always guide you. G'day.

Apparently, this doin’ numbers — which I’ve never even anticipated. So, I would like to thank y’all wonderful people for your rewards, ratings, and comments. It’s always such a delightful surprise to me how you can post something on the net and actually get positive vibes from people. You all are so cute I could kiss ya. I appreciate that you can appreciate some light-hearted, probably idiotic piece of text and actually reward me for writing it. Thank you for helping me keep my faith in humanity marginally intact.
