Artifact of Command and Drops

[XenoGenes]

I use the artifact of command all the time for specialized builds, and I have the dlc. When I open a void chest, I never have the option for a lysate cell anymore, even though I used to all the time. Anyone know why this is happening? Additionally, I used to get a boss drop every time after beating a boss, now it only ever drops greens for me. Is that normal?

Lysate Cell is an Uncommon (Green) Void item. If the Void Cradle didn't drop a green void item (which the wiki claims a 30% chance of a green), then you can't choose Lysate Cell.

Boss drops are a 15% chance of dropping instead of a green. You were getting lucky by getting them every time.

Void items have tiers, just like other items according to their border color, but all void items share the same color so there's no telling what you'll get until you interact with the essence. Lysate cell is void tier 2 along with Plasma Shrimp, Polylute, etc.; Tier 1 has Needletick, Safer Spaces, etc.; Tier 3 has Benthic Bloom and Pluripotent Larva. Tier 1 items are the most common.
Teleporter rewards will give you either a green or boss item. Green items likely have a greater drop chance and you're just getting an unlucky draw, especially if there's no mountain shrine around to increase your odds for of a yellow. It's normal.

Okay cool thanks for letting me know. I guess I was just getting pretty lucky
