How to build Noxious Spore in Lightyear Frontier

As you start to explore the ruins you’ll find in Lightyear Frontier, you’ll find artifacts that in turn become recipes for mysterious items. These items need an ingredient called Noxious Spore, so how do you build them in Lightyear Frontier?

Lightyear Frontier - How to build Noxious Spores

To be able to make Noxious Spores to use hose recipes from the ruins, you are first going to need Noxious Pods. Once you have some Noxious Pods you’ll need to use the Grinder to make the Noxious Spores. These take just 30 seconds each to create with the Grinder and need no other ingredients than a single pod. But first, you need the Noxious Pods…

Noxious Pods are only available during the following random hazard events:

• Weed Seeds: Your plants are attacked by weeds (which can be removed with Vacuum Harvester).
• Noxious Bubbles: Bubbles float across your plot, causing damage to plants (the bubbles can be burst with your Hose or Saw).

From what I can tell you’ll need to be growing plants for these events to occur. You’ll also seemingly need to be at your base at the start of a new day for these events to have a chance of triggering. In my experience, they happen around once every 7-10 days. 

When you pop the noxious bubbles or remove the weeds you’ll get a random number of Noxious Pods as a reward. I estimate you’ll get 8-12 Noxious Pods per hazardous event. If you don’t have the Grinder yet, it will become available once you have found and mined some Copper.
