Is there an easy way to get out of a cave?
After a couple of hours of exploring a planet, I came across a cave and decided to go spelunking. A little while later, I had realized I had lost my way and spent a good hour trying to find an exit.
If I decide to wander through another cave, is there a way I can tell where an exit is located so that I don't spend another hour looking for the exit?
Best Answer
I've gotten lost in caves so frequently that I have stopped trying to find the "actual" exit. Instead I just point towards my ship on the compass and tunnel out with grenades. There's almost always Pu (or at least C) in cave systems (unless you yourself have created the cave system :), so you shouldn't run out of grenade fuel.
As an aside I must say that I find the grenade-tunneling to be the most enjoyable aspect of the game. (It reminds me of the Tok'ra tunnels from Stargate.) Nothing beats claustrophobia like the ability to destroy one's immediate surroundings!
Pro Tip: Equip the grenade radius upgrades and all the JetPack upgrades you can.

What do you do if you get stuck in a cave?
Do not touch formations. Even very small cave formations take thousands of years to develop. In a cave any footprint, change or damage is essentially permanent. Touching cave formations puts dirt on them which can become embedded in the formation marring its beauty forever.5 Scary Videos Caught in Caves \u0026 Mines
