Star Bulbs?

[ScottE]

This must be new and required to make circuit boards. Anyone have any idea where they hang out? I have the 10 normal plants in my farm but was surprised this needed something new. Man, crafting got harder and more tedious.

[Easy Target]

Forest-lush-paradise etc so far from memory is where I get my stockpiles from.

Every now and then, you can by them from other starship pilots.

[Holyvision]

I find those things all over the place. They appear on plants similar to platinum. Blue/purple in color.

I'll gladly trade some star bulbs for frost crystals 🙄

[progress781]

My base is on a moon and the planet it orbits ended up having frost crystals. For some reason I just recently realized this lol. Time to add some windows to my base, I guess lol.

[ScottE]

Thanks, I'll do some exploring. I wonder if you can scan for them from orbit?

If you scan a planet, it will show you whether or not the planet contains them.

Thank you!

Aren't they the Pearls?

[BaneBlackGuard]

no they aren't pearls. they are flowering plants. i have them all over the place on my paradise world. they do show up as a resource on planet scans from space on planets that have them. they show up with the purple marker in scans when walking.

Funny thing, the planet I have my base says there are Star Bulbs on them but have checked all over the place including caves with no luck. I'm assuming a bug. Since my farmer is bugged and won't progress, I'm guessing there's no way to ever get the recipe to farm these. If they are indeed new to 1.3.

I really, really hope they fix the bugged base techs. There's no way I'm going to start over. At least its only the farmer and I got all the pre-1.3 stuff unlocked.

they wont be in caves. just go on a walk-about scanning, watch for the purple icons.

I have been traveling around the surface so unless they are ultra rare, I've never seen one. I've seen a few purple icons but those have been solar plants since this is a hot planet.

when you scan the planet from space does it show them in the list of resources? just because the quest requires them doesn't mean they are on that planet.

in my experience they don't occur on hot planets, they occur on paradise, flourishing, etc...

They show up on the list of resources for the planet in the discoveries tab. But I'll hunt around for nice planets and see what I can find.

are you sure you are looking at the right planet? go out in space and scan the planet.
