Collecting Faecium/Coprite in the wild

  • This resource can be obtained by feeding creatures on planets and then collecting their dropped coprite crystals. This process can be rather slow, however.
  • With assistance from a Farmer, Faecium can also be grown as a product of the Gutrot Flower, yielding a base product of 25 with a harvest time of 4 hours.
  • It can also be found on some planets as a by-product of some carbon-based plants much like some gases.
  • Sometimes it can be found in resource deposits on marsh planets.

Faecium can be refined using a Refiner with the following ingredients:

  • SUBSTANCE.CREATURE.1 Mordite x3  →  SUBSTANCE.PLANT.POOP Faecium x1  ("Assisted Decomposition", 0.24 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.LAUNCHSUB.1 Di-hydrogen x1  +  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.1 Carbon x1  →  SUBSTANCE.PLANT.POOP Faecium x1  ("Assisted Decomposition", 0.08 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.PLANT.POOP Faecium x1  +  SUBSTANCE.AIR.1 Oxygen x1  →  SUBSTANCE.PLANT.POOP Faecium x3  ("Oxygenate Microbes", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • GAS.1 Nitrogen x1  +  GAS.3 Sulphurine x1  →  SUBSTANCE.PLANT.POOP Faecium x1  ("Encourage Growth", 0.24 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.CREATURE.1 Mordite x1  +  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.1 Carbon x2  →  SUBSTANCE.PLANT.POOP Faecium x3  ("Runaway Decomposition", 0.36 sec./unit output)
  • SUBSTANCE.CREATURE.1 Mordite x1  +  SUBSTANCE.FUEL.2 Condensed Carbon x1  →  SUBSTANCE.PLANT.POOP Faecium x4  ("Runaway Decomposition", 0.36 sec./unit output)

Trivia[ | ]

  • This mineral's original name of coprite is likely based on coprolite, which is fossilised animal feces.
