How To Farm Larval Cores

Now that we have discussed the uses of Larval Cores, let us talk about farming them. As mentioned earlier,Larval Cores are acquiredbydestroying Whispering Eggs.

It is important to note thatLarval Cores only remain on the ground for a few secondsbefore disappearing. This is why we recommend picking them as quickly as you’re able to or destroying Whispering Eggs one at a time.

to find Whispering Eggs, you will need tohead over to an Abandoned Buildingfirst. you may either scan a planet using your Analysis Visor or purchase aPlanetary Chart(Distress Signal)map from a Cartographerat one of theSpace Stations. Once acquired, you will havea 40 percent chance at getting the Abandoned Building. If you do not get it, buy another map, and try again.

You should also note thatBiological Horrors will spawn after destroying a Whispering Egg. This can make it somewhat harder to easily farm Larval Cores, so be sure to prepare accordingly!

One of the best ways to deal with these Biological Horrors is byusing the Terrain Manipulator. you may either create a large cavitybelow the Whispering Eggsandsafely collect all the Larval Coreswithout worrying about the Biological Horrors entering inside or encapsulate yourself inside a large rock alongside the Whispering Eggs while causing all the Biological Horrors to spawn outside.

Lastly, if you do not wish to deal with these Biological Horrors,there is a chance to find them onDerelict Freighters. This, however, is a lot more time-consuming than farming Whispering Eggs near Abandoned Buildings.
