An Electromagnetic Power Hotspot is a location on a planet that’s a potentially good spot for constructing your base. You can often find multiple hotspots that are of different types (resources) to maximize your base’s potential. You will need to use the survey analysis visor and enable the survey mode to find these hotspots. Get all of that at the anomaly vendors in space. Depending on the strength of the

It’s used for crafting and refining as well as different cooking recipes, as weird as that sounds. 🙂 To get faecium, feed creatures on planets and wait for them to ‘release’ it. It’s fast.
