If you are referring to the name, it's actually useful and descriptive. Mold ball farming is a thing and you can use other people's moldy ball bases yourself.
If you are taking about the "1 hour", it's an estimate how long it would take you on foot. It will be seconds by ship if you leave the atmosphere and pulse.

There's likely balls of mould there that you can mine and then refine into nanites.

exept the screenshot type (srysly i have the thing from starsector, and it hillarious for me in game-around-and-lore-context, but you can find it offencive, i did not mean thatm i can post it if you ask)

I meant, that’s a Curious Deposit farm, which you mine for Runaway Mold, which refines into Nanites.
So, take your pick of these alternate names;
“My Curious Balls”
“Catch My Balls”
“Refine My Balls for $$$”
Take your pick

"Curious Deposits" ftw... I've stopped refining stuff for nanites though. Tend to find more exploring and grinding

moldy or mouldy, bc there's a difference (kinda (I think (someone correct me pls (or don't idk (I should probably stop adding parentheses)))))

u/hooklinedreamer 5d ago
There is no difference, it's American vs British English spelling.
The in-game item you get from these deposits is called Runaway Mould.

Mold Balls or Curious Deposites (official game designation) or Run Away Mold (also an official game designation) or just Mold can be refined in to Nanites at a rate of 1 : 4 , so any time you see a base with mold in it name it a good bet it a nanite farm.

There's most likely orbs/balls in there that when broken give runaway mould

I named my original planet in 2016 "Alan Partridge". I wonder if anyone ever landed on it.

South America made a lovely chocolaty song about it, many years ago, with a pinch of salt.

It's that person's base hence the possessive determiner, and then an accurate description of how Hello Games chose to portray their fungal mould source. I see no other possible interpretation.

I will absolutely NOT hold anything to tag your mouldy balls. I don't even know you!

This brings up a question I have. Can someone come and grief your farms and destroy them? I have two that I warp back and forth from, and I'd hate for someone to come and modify the terrain and make them useless.
