How to farm

Before you go

Unlock Piscinas on Saturn.
Bring a loadout suitable for sustained Survival against the node’s enemies.
Check both Nano Spores and Plastids needs before the run.

Start Piscinas and activate the Survival objective.
Stay with the squad and maintain a workable area for enemy spawns and life support.
Defeat enemies and collect Nano Spores pickups.
Break nearby containers and collect their resource drops.
Activate life support capsules when necessary.
Check both resource totals as the mission proceeds.
Extract when the relevant craft targets are met and extraction is available.

Farming tips

Choose this route when Plastids are also missing to make the trip serve two resource goals.
Do not assume a fixed amount of either resource per interval; verify inventory.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat the mission as needed until the planned craft quantities are covered; each run’s drops vary.

Common mistakes

Farming Nano Spores while overlooking Plastids; check both shortages before choosing the node.
Searching so far from the squad that life support becomes difficult; stay within a manageable area.
Expecting a guaranteed amount from a run; use inventory totals as the measure.

When to stop or switch

Stop when the planned Nano Spores and any Plastids targets are met, or extract if the squad cannot maintain life support.
