Alien DNA Capsule is made by converting Alien Protein in a Constructor. Capsules support research into alien organisms and can also be deposited in the AWESOME Sink for Coupons. There is no direct world pickup route for the capsule itself: first obtain Alien Protein, then process it. The bottleneck is the supply of protein from Alien Remains. Recipe rates assume a 100% clock.
Unlock the Constructor and capsule recipe, then feed Alien Protein into it. Alien Protein comes from processing Hatcher Remains in a Constructor; those remains must be collected from alien creatures. Consult the Alien Remains reference for pickup guidance without assuming a fixed route.
Before you craft
Constructor building and Alien DNA Capsule recipe unlocked
1 Alien Protein per batch
Collect Hatcher Remains from a Hatcher encounter and carry them to a Constructor.
Unlock and run the Hatcher Protein recipe to turn remains into Alien Protein.
Deliver Alien Protein to a Constructor set to Alien DNA Capsule.
Connect the capsule output to research storage or an AWESOME Sink line.
Check protein availability before relying on continuous capsule production.
Use capsules for research first if that is the current objective.
Crafting tips
At 100% clock, the recipe consumes 10 Alien Protein/min and produces 10 capsules/min.
Alien Protein can also be used for inhalers, biomass, and other research, so choose a priority.
Sink capsules only when the Coupons are more useful than the research supply.
Repeat, collect and use
Feed available Alien Protein into the Constructor and route each capsule to research or the Sink according to your current need.
Common mistakes
Searching for capsules as a collectible rather than manufacturing them from Alien Protein.
Sinking every capsule before reserving the amount needed for alien-organism research.
When to stop or switch
Stop capsule production when research needs are covered and the desired Sink contribution or storage target is reached.
Unlock the Constructor and capsule recipe, then feed Alien Protein into it. Alien Protein comes from processing Hatcher Remains in a Constructor; those remains must be collected from alien creatures. Consult the Alien Remains reference for pickup guidance without assuming a fixed route.
