Cubic Diodes are a resource in Warframe that you need to rebuild your Railjack. After building your Dry Dock, and researching and building Cephalon Cy, you will then go about finding parts of the Railjack. Unfortunately, the pieces have been discarded for a long time, and require repair.

To repair your Railjack’s fuselage, you will need to find 100 Cubic Diodes. Eximus units will drop Cubic Diodes on Europa, on the Ice Planet tileset. Eximus units are rare, powerful spawns that will have an ability, similar to Warframes. They can make other units more powerful, spawn shields or fire blasts, and will have increased health and damage compared to standard enemies.

A great mission to play is the Dark Sector Defense on the Larzec node. As you get into the later Rotations, Eximus spawns will become more common. If you happen to have a Kuva Lich after you, and they have some nodes on Europa, it can also be a good idea to run missions on them, as Eximus units will be a bit more common in these missions. Keep in mind, the Lich can take resources from you if they control a node, and this includes your Cubic Diodes.

Cubic Diodes will also be affected by the Resource Booster that doubles your resources pickups, but we don’t know if the drops are affected by farming Warframes or Smeeta Kavata at this time. All Eximus units seem to drop between five and ten Cubic Diodes on death, however.

Now that you know where to go to get Cubic Diodes, you should be able to farm them very quickly, and get that Railjack fuselage repaired in no time.

Once you have your Railjack built, the easiest place to farm Cubic Diodes is actually Railjack missions. You can get hundreds of Cubic Diodes from completing these missions. They drop from dead enemies, glowing asteroids, containers, and red glowing mines that can be found in all the levels. If you need to farm this resource, just don’t extract when you finish a mission. Instead, travel through the level, breaking asteroids and containers with your weapons, and collecting the loot that they drop.
