Alien Protein is produced in a Constructor from Hatcher Remains. It is used for medicinal inhalers, Alien DNA Capsules, and biomass, and supports research into alien organisms. To obtain it, collect Alien Remains from the relevant creature and process them; do not search for protein deposits. The supply bottleneck is the availability of remains, which are encounter pickups rather than a renewable node stream. Constructor rates assume a 100% clock.
Collect Hatcher Remains from a Hatcher, then use an unlocked Constructor with the Hatcher Protein recipe. The Alien Remains reference can help identify the pickup type; collected remains do not imply a permanent farming route.
Before you craft
Constructor and Hatcher Protein recipe unlocked
1 Hatcher Remains per batch
Locate a Hatcher encounter using the Alien Remains reference for context.
Defeat or otherwise safely handle the creature and collect its Hatcher Remains.
Carry remains to a Constructor with the Hatcher Protein recipe unlocked.
Feed remains into the Constructor and collect Alien Protein output.
Reserve protein for inhalers, capsules, or biomass according to your current goal.
Check remaining stored remains before setting up a continuous downstream line.
Crafting tips
At 100% clock, one Constructor consumes 20 Hatcher Remains/min and produces 20 Alien Protein/min.
Protein can feed several different recipes, so buffer it before committing all output to one use.
Collected creature remains are finite pickup stock, not a resource node.
Repeat, collect and use
Process available Hatcher Remains as needed and allocate the resulting protein to the most urgent medical or research use.
Common mistakes
Searching the resource map for an Alien Protein node instead of converting Hatcher Remains.
Assuming a collected creature site will respawn as a repeat route or supply unlimited remains.
When to stop or switch
Stop the Constructor when your available remains are exhausted or the desired protein stock is reached.
Collect Hatcher Remains from a Hatcher, then use an unlocked Constructor with the Hatcher Protein recipe. The Alien Remains reference can help identify the pickup type; collected remains do not imply a permanent farming route.
