What are Dirt Mounds?

Used to Farm Raw Materials

Dirt mounds produce 10 raw material each and refresh their supply each day. They can be dug up using Oatchi or Pikmin but most effectively with Yellow Pikmin. Especially since items from the lab cost raw materials, it is important to farm these as much as possible every outing.
