Just spent the whole weekend diving deep into Zenless Zone Zero's Hollow Central Production Area, and I'm still buzzing from the adventure! The 2.0 navigation update has seriously transformed the collection experience - it's honestly become my favorite part of daily gameplay now. 🎮✨
When Mihoyo dropped this update last month, I was skeptical about whether hunting collectibles would actually be fun or just another tedious grind. But let me tell you - finding all those Mini Cargo Trucks, Supply Collection Points, and Observation Singularities has been surprisingly addictive! The way they've integrated these collectibles with the Suibian Temple management system is pure genius.
My Mini Cargo Truck Collection Journey
Finding all 20 Mini Cargo Trucks was a WILD ride! First thing you need to know - you can't even see them on your map until you interact with the Observation Singularities (those mysterious orbs that reveal hidden items). I remember being completely lost until I finished enough of the Season 2 main mission where Sweety gives you that commission to collect Lumite Ore.
The first truck was pretty straightforward - from the Central Production Area Entrance Beacon, I headed north and used my Revelation Ability to dispel that unstable blue cargo illusion. But some of the others? Total nightmare to find! 😅
The one that nearly broke me was behind that Corrupted Matter with TWO Weakpoints. I thought I'd grab it easily, but then a Fisher Crab jumped out when I interacted with it! Nearly died, but managed to defeat it and got the "Try Hitting It" Achievement as a bonus. The satisfaction was REAL!
What I love most about this collection system is how it encourages exploration of every nook and cranny. Some trucks require solving those Ether Tuning puzzles (which I'm embarrassingly bad at), while others need you to defeat waves of enemies. The variety keeps it fresh.
Supply Collection Points & Lumite Ore - Daily Grind Worth Doing
The Supply Collection Points are my daily ritual now. They refresh with Lumite Ore every day, and I've made it part of my morning routine to collect them before work. It's actually relaxing?
Pro tip that took me embarrassingly long to figure out: Lumite Ore isn't just in the Supply Collection Points - it's also scattered in wooden crates throughout the area! I was struggling to hit my daily capacity until I realized this. 🤦♀️
The Good Goods shop in Failume Heights refreshes weekly, and those crafting materials for Suibian Temple management are absolutely worth the grind. I've managed to max out my temple's production efficiency by consistently collecting Lumite Ore daily for the past month.
The Observation Singularity Hunt
Finding both Observation Singularities was probably the most challenging part for me. The second one in the Logistics Storage Area had me stumped for days! Had to use that button on the bottom-left to switch maps (which I kept forgetting existed), then navigate to the Fissure Beacon.
The real trick was using my ability to dispel the illusion of that massive cargo blocking the way. Once I interacted with it, seeing all those Mini Cargo Trucks suddenly appear on my map was SO satisfying!
My Personal Collection Strategy
After weeks of trial and error, I've developed what I think is the optimal route for daily collection:
-
Start at Central Production Area Entrance
-
Grab the first 8 Mini Cargo Trucks in sequence
-
Teleport to Building East Side Fissure Beacon for trucks 9-10
-
Hit the Rooftop for more collectibles
-
Take the elevator to Building West Side for trucks 11-14
-
Finish with Logistics Platform area for the remaining trucks
This route takes me about 25 minutes now that I've memorized it, compared to the 2+ hours it took on my first attempt! 😂
Why This Matters For Temple Management
I cannot stress enough how crucial Lumite Ore is for the Suibian Temple management system. Before I started collecting regularly, my temple production was pathetic. Now? I'm generating resources at max efficiency and it's completely transformed my progression speed.
The materials you can exchange Lumite Ore for at the Good Goods shop are essential for upgrading various temple facilities. My favorite purchase so far has been the Advanced Fabrication Module, which has doubled my daily resource output!
Looking Ahead: My 2025 Zenless Zone Zero Predictions
I've been thinking a lot about where ZZZ is headed next, and I'm convinced we're going to see an expansion of the Hollow areas in the next major update. The way they've designed the Central Production Area feels like a testing ground for more complex collection mechanics.
My personal hope is that they'll introduce a competitive element to collection - maybe leaderboards for fastest completion times? Or perhaps special weekly challenges where certain collectibles are worth more? I'd absolutely live for that kind of friendly competition!
What I really want to see is a way to customize our own Hollow space with the items we collect. Imagine being able to create a personal museum of Mini Cargo Trucks! That would give me even more motivation to hunt down every single collectible in the game.
Final Thoughts
After hundreds of hours in Zenless Zone Zero, I'm still amazed at how the developers continue to add these engaging systems that keep me coming back daily. The Hollow Central Production Area collectible hunt has been one of my favorite gaming experiences of 2025 so far.
If you're just starting out, don't get discouraged! The learning curve is steep, but once you get the hang of it, collecting becomes second nature. And trust me - your Suibian Temple will thank you for the steady stream of resources!
Anyone else obsessed with collecting every last item in the Hollow areas? What's your favorite collectible so far? I'm curious if I'm the only one who finds this strangely therapeutic! 🤔💭
