Collecting Ambergris passively from astrocetus?

[Donut]

i saw somewhere that you can mine the spikey rock formations for ambergris as well as passively accessing a wild astrocetus's inventory and collecting it but im not quite sure how are you meant to knock it out or fly up and press E? or is it just a rumour

I'm just like you, I have one since yesterday and I still haven't seen how to passively generate the ambergris

If you fly to the space whale, it will agro you. So I believe the only way is to knock and then open inventory.
But why would you?
Just try to find those "pyramid" spiky rocks and use Drill, you get like 7-12 from one rock usually. No point doing it the hard way, it's already hard enough to grow a Magmasaur, we got 5x rates and it still took a week because you can only leave it for the day/during you play because the food spoils so fast.

But has ambergris generated you passively?
Using the whale generates it? I haven't finished understanding what you were saying, sorry :)

Getting the drill on official is really hard and you usually have players mining up all the rocks
was kinda hoping it would be like an alpha wyvern but instead of killing it you just walk up and take out 20 amberbris or something but i guess that is way to easy xD
