1 此物品的重要性
虚空蛋是无人深空中最独特的物品。与游戏中所有其他飞船不同，从虚空蛋培育出的生物飞船是一艘完全生物化的飞船。
生物飞船相比传统飞船有几个优势。它们的基础跃迁距离更远，有机武器伤害更高，且生物模块会自动再生。
获取虚空蛋后的星诞任务线横跨多个星系，涉及解谜、访问古代遗址和从各种行星环境中收集有机材料。
2 配方 / 蓝图
虚空蛋本身不是制作的——而是购买的。然而，后续的星诞任务链需要在特定任务阶段制作多个有机组件。
Acquisition: Purchasing the 虚空蛋
| 方法 | 位置 | 成本 |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase from 水银 Synthesis Companion | The Anomaly (太空异象 station) | 3,200 水银 |
| Gift from another player | Any multiplayer session | Free (if gifted) |
Phase 1: Cracking the Egg
After purchasing the 虚空蛋 and installing it in your inventory, pulse-drive through space until you receive a transmission. This triggers the first quest step. You will be directed to a specific planet to locate an Infested World with abandoned structures.
Phase 2: The Consciousness Bridge
| 组件 | Materials Required | Crafting Station |
|---|---|---|
| Pulsating Core | 100 Silver + 100 有色金属 + 1 粘稠液体 | 便携精炼机 (Stage 2) |
| Impossible Membrane | 100 Gold + 100 有色金属 + 1 活珍珠 | 外骨骼 Inventory |
| Neural Stem | 100 Platinum + 100 有色金属 + 1 科尔瓦克斯融合立方 | 外骨骼 Inventory |
Phase 3: The Host Matrices
This phase requires visiting three different systems to collect biological samples. You will need to craft Hypnotic Eye (requires 50 Cadmium + 1 Hypnotic Eye sample from an Abyssal Horror), Seeds of Glass (requires 50 Dioxite + 1 sample from 硫化水晶 underwater deposits), and Anomalous Tendril (requires 50 Uranium + 1 sample from 低语蛋 horrors).
Phase 4: The Soul Chamber
| 组件 | Materials Required | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Void Marrow | 200 有色金属 + 1 Wandering Egg | Dropped from 虚空蛋 fragments at abandoned sites |
| Hardframe Engine | 200 有色金属 + 1 Fusion Core | Salvaged from destroyed Sentinels |
| Softened Circuits | 200 有色金属 + 1 Circuit Board | Crafted or purchased from traders |
Phase 5: Awakening
The final phase requires you to visit your marked target system and land at the coordinates provided by the ship's neural interface. No crafting is required for this stage — simply follow the quest markers through space, interact with the monolith-like structures on the target planet, and witness the birth of your 生物飞船. The vessel will emerge from a massive organic pod, and you will be given the option to claim it as your primary starship.
Post-Birth: Organic Upgrade Modules
Unlike traditional starships, Living Ships do not use conventional upgrade modules. Instead, you must continue pulsing in your 生物飞船 to receive neural transmissions that direct you to 虚空蛋-in-Space encounters — floating organic eggs that can be cracked open to reveal random bio-upgrades for your ship's weapons, shields, warp drive, and pulse engine. These upgrades are procedurally generated with S-Class potential and cannot be purchased from technology merchants.
3 材料与位置
星诞任务链需要的材料横跨无人深空中各种行星类型。你将需要从有毒世界、辐射世界、冰冻海洋和死亡世界中收集资源。
● 水银 (x3,200 for initial purchase)
来源: 枢纽 missions aboard the 太空异象, community expedition rewards, daily weekend missions.
Best farming method: Complete the daily Nexus missions offered by the Quicksilver Synthesis Companion. Weekend community missions award 1,200 Quicksilver each. Daily missions award 250. You can also earn Quicksilver from community expedition completion rewards, which typically grant 2,000-4,000 Quicksilver per expedition. If you want to obtain a 虚空蛋 quickly, focus on weekend missions — three weekend missions will earn enough 水银 for the purchase. The 枢纽 is accessible from any system by pressing X (PC) / D-Pad Up (console) and selecting "Summon Anomaly."
● 有色金属 (x700+ total)
来源: Refined from Cadmium, Emeril, Copper, or Indium in a 便携精炼机.
Best farming method: Before starting the 虚空蛋 quest, establish a mining base on a Cadmium-rich (Red) system planet. Cadmium refines at a 1:1 ratio to Chromatic Metal, making it the most efficient source. Alternatively, if you have the Medium or 大型精炼机 unlocked, combine Copper + Chromatic Metal in a 2:1 ratio to produce 6 Chromatic Metal per batch, effectively creating an infinite Chromatic Metal loop. The 铟驱动 is required to access Blue systems for Indium, which refines to 有色金属 at 1:4 ratio — the most efficient conversion in the game.
● Silver, Gold, Platinum (x100 each)
来源: Asteroid mining, underground deposits, refiner combinations.
Best farming method: Silver and Gold are abundant in asteroids. Pulse to any asteroid field and use your starship's mining laser — silver appears in blue-tinted asteroids and gold in yellow-tinted ones. Platinum is rarer but can be refined from Gold + Silver in a 中型精炼机 at a 1:1 ratio. If you have activated Indium mining operations, you can purchase these metals in bulk from space station galactic terminals — they typically cost 100-400 units each, making the total cost trivial for any established player.
● 活珍珠
来源: 巨蚌s in underwater caves on Ocean worlds.
Best farming method: Use the 信号增强器 or 地面载具 with Sonar to scan for underwater structures. Equip the Nautilon exocraft for deep-water exploration. 活珍珠s are found inside closed 巨蚌s that snap shut when approached — you must be fast to harvest them before they close. Alternatively, use the 地形操纵器 to blast the clam open from a distance, which prevents it from closing. Ocean worlds with "Bountiful" or "Paradise" descriptors typically have the highest density of underwater caves.
● 粘稠液体
来源: Harvested from 生物恐怖s at 低语蛋 nests.
Best farming method: Locate an 废弃建筑 (use planetary charts from the Cartographer on space stations, selecting "Emergency Charts"). Surrounding the building are Whispering Eggs — red, pulsing eggs that spawn swarms of 生物恐怖s when disturbed. Build a ramp or bridge using the 地形操纵器 leading to the eggs, or place a Base Teleporter nearby. Destroy the eggs from your elevated position to safely collect Viscous Fluid, Larval Cores, and other biological materials. The Horrors cannot climb vertical surfaces. Each 低语蛋 yields 1 粘稠液体 and 1 幼虫核心.
● 科尔瓦克斯融合立方
来源: Korvax space stations, Korvax system traders, reward for helping Korvax entities.
Best farming method: 科尔瓦克斯融合立方s are easiest obtained by visiting Korvax-controlled systems (systems where the dominant race is Korvax, indicated by the system name prefix and space station design). Speak with every Korvax entity on the station and select dialogue options that offer aid — they will often gift Convergence Cubes as rewards. Alternatively, purchase them from the 废品商人 aboard the Anomaly or from wealthy Korvax traders for approximately 25,000 units. If you have established trade routes, you can buy these in bulk from multiple Korvax stations in sequence.
● Cadmium, Dioxite, Uranium (x50 each + stockpile)
来源: Red star systems (Cadmium), Frozen worlds (Dioxite), Barren/Radioactive worlds (Uranium).
Best farming method: These are common planetary resources that can be mined with the 地形操纵器 or Advanced Mining Laser. Cadmium appears as red crystals on Red star system planets. Dioxite appears as blue crystalline deposits on frozen and sub-zero worlds. Uranium is found as yellow-green deposits on radioactive, barren, and desert planets. A single deposit of any of these typically yields 50-100 units, so one stop per resource type is sufficient. Store extras in your freighter — you will need 有色金属 derived from these for later quest phases.
● Circuit Board (x1)
来源: Crafted from Poly Fibre + Heat Capacitor, or purchased from technology merchants.
Best farming method: Circuit Boards are a standard craftable component. The recipe unlocks from the Construction Terminal base-building quest chain. If you have not unlocked it yet, purchase one from any space station technology merchant for approximately 100,000 units. For players with farming bases, Circuit Boards are an excellent source of passive income — each sells for nearly 1 million units — and growing the required crops (Solanium, Frost Crystal, Cactus Flesh, Star Bulb) in biodomes takes minimal effort.
4 最优路线
星诞任务跨越多个星系，各阶段之间有实时等待时间。这条路线通过提前准备材料和优化星系选择来最小化旅行距离和等待时间。

5 注意事项与技巧
玩家最常见的错误是在完成一个阶段后立即尝试强制触发下一步。星诞任务的每个主要阶段都有24小时现实时间计时器。
虚空蛋必须放在你的外骨骼通用库存中，而不是飞船或货船上。
你的第一艘生物飞船的库存格子相对较少——通常19-22个存储格子和17-20个技术格子。
多个任务阶段需要访问感染世界并与低语蛋互动。
生物飞船无法安装从空间站购买的传统技术模块。
任务需要在冰冻世界的深水中收集硫化水晶。
6 沿途额外收益
星诞任务链是无人深空中最有回报的体验之一，不仅仅是因为最终获得生物飞船。
幼虫核心 Collection
While harvesting 粘稠液体 from 低语蛋s at 废弃建筑s, you will also collect 幼虫核心s — one of the highest-value trade commodities in the game. Each Larval Core sells for approximately 70,000 units, and a single 废弃建筑 typically has 10-15 低语蛋s. A single farming run can net 700,000 to 1,000,000 units. Even better, 幼虫核心s are used in crafting the 停滞装置, one of the two most valuable craftable items in the game worth 15.6 million units. Save every 幼虫核心 you collect — they are essential endgame crafting materials.
纳米星团 Rewards
Each quest phase awards 200-500 纳米星团 upon completion. Over the full Starbirth chain, you will earn approximately 2,000 纳米星团 from quest completions alone. Nanites are the currency used to purchase upgrade modules from space station merchants, and 2,000 Nanites is enough to buy 2-3 S-Class upgrade modules for your multi-tool, exosuit, or starship. Additionally, the systems you visit during the quest often have 废弃建筑s, Manufacturing Facilities, and Operations Centres that award 100-200 Nanites each when their terminals are hacked.
多用途工具 Upgrade Opportunities
The systems you visit during Starbirth are procedurally selected and often contain wealthy, high-economy stations. Take the time to check the Multi-Tool cabinet on every station you visit during the quest — high-wealth systems have a significantly higher chance of spawning S-Class and A-Class Multi-Tools. You may find an S-Class 多用途工具 with ideal slot arrangements without needing to hunt for one deliberately. Check the cabinet, cabinet-reroll by creating a manual save, and reload if the tool is not to your liking.
Base Building Material Stockpile
While exploring the target planets for quest objectives, you will inevitably harvest massive quantities of standard building materials: Ferrite Dust, Carbon, Oxygen, Sodium, and Cobalt. A single planet visit during the quest typically yields enough Carbon and 铁尘 to construct a substantial base. The 有色金属 you refine for the quest is also a core component of dozens of advanced building parts and technology recipes. By the end of the Starbirth quest, most players find themselves with a fully stocked material inventory capable of building an elaborate base without any additional farming.
Alien Lore and Discovery Rewards
The Starbirth quest visits multiple 废弃建筑s, Monoliths, and Plaques, each of which contains unique lore entries about the Korvax, the Sentinels, and the mysterious biological entities that created the 生物飞船s. Every lore entry you interact with awards 10-20 纳米星团 and contributes to your Journey Milestones. Completing the full Starbirth quest chain also unlocks the Mantle of the Cosmos milestone, which contributes to your overall Journey progress and can unlock account-level rewards.
地面载具 and Nautilon Practice
The quest's underwater and hazardous terrain sections provide natural opportunities to practice with the Nautilon and Minotaur exocraft. Many players neglect these vehicles in normal gameplay, but the Starbirth quest essentially provides a guided tutorial for their use. Mastering the Nautilon's sonar scanning capabilities will serve you well in all future underwater exploration, and learning to pilot the Minotaur through 生物恐怖 encounters is a skill that applies to numerous late-game scenarios including Sentinel hunting and Derelict 货船 exploration.
Portal Glyph Learning
The quest visits multiple systems that contain Traveller graves, each of which teaches one Portal Glyph. If you have not yet learned all 16 glyphs, the Starbirth quest chain is an excellent opportunity to collect 3-4 new glyphs from Traveller graves on the target planets. Even if you already know all glyphs, Traveller graves contain valuable resources and lore entries worth harvesting. Learning all 16 Portal Glyphs unlocks the ability to travel to any shared coordinate in the galaxy, which is essential for community events, coordinate-based ship hunting, and galaxy-core travel shortcuts.
Wealth of Discovery Data
Each system visited during the quest contains multiple undiscovered planets, fauna, and flora. Uploading all discovery data from a single Starbirth system to the 枢纽 Discovery Terminal awards 50-100 纳米星团 and contributes to your Explorer Guild standing. Over the course of the full quest chain, you will visit 5-7 unique systems, each offering the potential for hundreds of thousands of units in discovery rewards if you take the time to scan everything.
