Go to the surface entrances on aberration with a minig drill and harvest the bones

Harvest a dead whale on a beach with your pickaxe. Tons of keratin, oil and rotten meat to make narcotics.

Carbonemys will drop a decent amount of these you an find them in swaps commonly

to get keratin you must sacrifice the turtles

A tip to get a lot of keratin early game is to go around with a crossbow and kill Carbonemys. They give between 5-20 keratin a piece and are very easy to kill.

If you're playing with a friend, effiecent way to get a lot of keratin is to get an argentavis and pick up your friend on a sabertooth, fly along a beach and drop him onto any turtle you see.

Rip turtles

lol we will miss them

On aberation if you need a large

amount of chitin/keratin use a pick or preferably

An ankylossaurus on those old bones near the surface cave but watch out nameless spawn in there and it may be very hot.
