Look on swamp type planets, the ones with fungal mould on your scan. I've had the best luck with those.

The easiest way to find it would be in some of the Damaged Machinery scattered around planets. You may find some occasionally sold also. I believe the animals will start working again with a future patch. It's a byproduct when some resources are harvested and some planets have Faecium deposits that can be mined.

As stated above, it drops from some plants, then use that little to start a farm.

If you have a pet and feed it, it will sometimes drop faecium. The easy way is just plant it and harvest.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure I have seen fauna poop. There are also several ways to create it with a refiner.

Secondary resource from many plants on swamp-type planets, I've found.

I mine the stuff. Nothing better than a crap mine. LOL

As said above: Plants, broken machinery. Also, I remember seeing quite a few NPCs selling it. The easiest way is to make a farm, all it takes is a small starting supply (possibly from plants) then just dedicate a greenhouse to it.

Yep, I have fed my pet (gave him treats) and he returned the favor so animals still poop

It looks like they're pooping but I go over with my little doggie bag and there's nothing there.

Found a bunch this afternoon on a rainy planet in a cave, if that's any help.

Iirc you can put mordite in a refiner and get faecium out. You can plant mordite root also and you get that from plants and from killing animals.

I've always contended that the player should be able to make their own faeceum.

I mean, come on, man! It's a pretty low-tech problem.
