Cactus Flesh is a resource.

Summary[ | ]

Cactus Flesh (Cc) is a resource and one of the Harvested Agricultural Substance flora elements.

Game Description[ | ]

Succulent, edible cactus flesh from the Echinocactus plant. As well as being juicy on the tongue, the flesh has many industrial uses.

The Echinocactus thrives only on desert planets, but can be farmed in all environments with the aid of a Hydroponics Tray.

Source[ | ]

As described in the Game description, this element can be recovered from specific Echinocactus plants in desert/barren biomes.

It can also be found mixed with carbon in carbon-based plants or trees. For easy discovery, scan these flora with your visor and see what elements are in them. 

It should be noted that the spawn rate for the "classic" Echinocactus plants is really low and is easier to find the element mixed with other flora found on barren planets

With assistance from a Farmer, Cactus Flesh can also be grown as a product of the Echinocactus plant, with a harvest time of 16 hours and a yield of 100.

Cactus Flesh can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

  • SUBSTANCE.PLANT.DUSTY Cactus Flesh x1  +  SUBSTANCE.BIOME.DUSTY Pyrite x1  →  SUBSTANCE.PLANT.DUSTY Cactus Flesh x2  ("Organic Expansion", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.DUSTY Pyrite x2  +  SUBSTANCE.AIR.1 Oxygen x1  →  SUBSTANCE.PLANT.DUSTY Cactus Flesh x1  ("Encourage Growth", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.BIOME.DUSTY Pyrite x1  +  GAS.3 Sulphurine x1  →  SUBSTANCE.PLANT.DUSTY Cactus Flesh x1  ("Encourage Growth", 0.24 sec./unit output)
