Best way to find error cubes
I've been playing the game for a while now and I'm just trying to figure out what the most efficient way is for finding error cubes because I've only ever found 2.

Each box has a 1% chance of dropping an error cube upon breaking them, leading to what feels like finding them 5-7x more frequently all month.
The halloween pumpkins cannot drop error cubes like gift boxes can.

In the meanwhile, if you’re insistent on finding them, exclusively play short length missions to maximize the amount of missions you’re playing. Unlike random machine and season events, error cubes are a static 1/27 chance each mission, and do not increase based on how lengthy the mission is.

You could theoretically farm length 1 Point Extractions, exiting out once you’ve scanned the room for the gray crystals marking an error cube deposit and restarting, but it would be incredibly boring and pointless unless you’re dead set on seeing your error cube number go up.

If you are hunting for them for any reasons, keep in mind they give 2000 XP when collected.

So if XP amount interests you, try including Double XP missions within your search whenever possible. You will return with some goofy numbers in the XP earned tally.

"They aren’t used for anything so don’t fret over them too much" they infact are used for things. like cosmetics a special beer and something super secret

Wrong. They give credits and xp, that's it.

For everyone saying that the error cube is useless, I direct you to its wiki page

The wiki page in question:
https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Error_Cube

"Because it currently lacks any use, it is widely considered an easter egg and is often mistaken for a bug due to its intentionally glitchy-looking name."

Had you joining modded servers that boost the spawn percentage of error cubes?

You are reading the FANDOM wiki which is notoriously vandalized with loads of fake articles and assorted bs. Pretend it doesn't exist and go here instead: https://deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg/wiki/Deep_Rock_Galactic_Wiki

Due to player feedback, Soft Morkite’s sound effects were made even wetter and squelchier in Update 35: Furry Funtimes.

Now I'm gonna be afraid to be playing with y'all.
