Name Confusion
Necrotic Cyst and Necrolei Cyst searches overlap because players often remember the sound of the material before the exact name. On this site, the Strong Acid ingredient route is handled as Necrolei Cyst.
If your recipe does not match the word you searched, check the in-game spelling before leaving base.
Where To Start
Use the Angel Comb route lead and inspect nearby plant resources. This is a plant-route problem, not a mineral-node problem.
Crafting Chain
Once you collect the correct cyst material, return to base and process it into Strong Acid if that is your target. Do not keep searching for Strong Acid as a loose pickup.
How To Use This Page
Use this page for spoiler-light survival planning. Creature pages should help you decide how to scout, avoid, scan, and return safely without pretending every encounter is stable in Early Access.
In-game scans, current build footage with context, and official update notes are stronger than rumor names.
Before You Act On This Guide
- Scout first with low-value inventory.
- Mark the approach and exit before going deeper.
- Bring repair, health, and vehicle safety if available.
- Do not combine first contact with rare-resource farming.
Leave the area if you cannot see a return path, your vehicle is damaged, or the encounter is not part of your current objective.
