How to create a resin farm with giant moths

Prospector

You are the Prospector and your job is simple; Collect resources and ship them off-world. Build an outpost on a frontier planet and use supply lines to safely explore its oxygen-less environment. Assemble robots for automation and strike shipping deals with distant colonies for exclusive rewards.

The colony cannot grow without them, so make sure there are a handful of trees nearby before placing your incubator.

[h2]Let moths harvest resin for you... or use a laser[/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42111003/ef7d71e81cd47e3703d4ebd53bad4205726a4a93.png[/img] Moths will infest nearby trees by injecting their saliva into the cambium, causing trees to produce massive amounts of resin. The moths will then harvest and carry resin back to their queen, stored safely inside the incubator, allowing the player to collect the resin later. However resin can also be harvested directly with a laser for a quicker haul. [h2]Plant more trees to increase production![/h2] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42111003/4a6a1c3c86831a877cc472dc4bb3cf01b798940a.png[/img] Moths will only infest trees within a certain radius of their queen. That means once all the original trees are infested, you'll need to plant more. The infestation effectively destroys the original tree, so planting seeds is the only way to keep the farm running!
