Faecium is a resource.

Summary

Faecium (Fa) is a resource and one of the Harvested Agricultural Substance flora elements.

Game description

A foul-smelling compound that can be harvested from the Gutrot Flower, or less desirably from the faecal matter of some species.

Creatures can be fed to encourage the formation and deposition of faecium crystals.

Source

This resource can be obtained by feeding creatures on planets.
With assistance from a Farmer, Faecium can also be grown as a product of the Gutrot Flower, yielding 40-60 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:

Mordite x3 → Faecium x1 ("Assisted Decomposition", 0.6 sec./unit output)
Di-hydrogen x1 + Carbon x1 → Faecium x1 ("Assisted Decomposition", 0.2 sec./unit output)
Faecium x1 + Oxygen x1 → Faecium x3 ("Oxygenate Microbes", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Nitrogen x1 + Sulphurine x1 → Faecium x1 ("Encourage Growth", 0.6 sec./unit output)
Mordite x1 + Carbon x2 → Faecium x3 ("Runaway Decomposition", 0.9 sec./unit output)
Mordite x1 + Condensed Carbon x1 → Faecium x4 ("Runaway Decomposition", 0.9 sec./unit output)

Additional information

Having Optical Drill and Mining beam upgrades installed on the multi-tool increases the harvest yield amount.

Trivia

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