Shards are a somewhat rare resource added by the Anomaly DLC with a number of varied and powerful uses.

Acquisition[edit]

Shards can be acquired in the following ways:

Distress signals are guaranteed to spawn a flesh sack with a shard in it
Metalhorrors have a 50% chance to drop a shard when killed
The Nociosphere, if killed, will drop 2 shards
Revenant spines, when smashed, will drop 2 shards
The Dreadmeld, when killed, will drop 3 shards
The fleshmass nucleus, when killed, will drop 2 shards
An entity raid has a chance scaling with raid points to give a random entity a hidden Hediff that will cause it to drop a shard.
Obelisks allowed to reach max activity level and explode will drop a single shard.
Found inside crates in the Warped obelisk's labyrinth

Raid points:

Graph	Raid Points	Shard Chance (%)
	0	15
	500	30
	1,000	50
	5,000	80

Usage[edit]

Shards are used in the following crafting recipes:

Product	Ingredients	Type [ExpandCollapse]
Shard animal pulser	1 + 75	Artifact
Biomutation pulser	1 + 40 + 30	Artifact - Utility
Atmospheric heater	2 + 150 + 150 + 8	Building - Anomaly (Buildings)
Frenzy inducer	1 + 100	Building - Anomaly (Buildings)
Serum lab	1 + 2 + 80 + 100	Building - Anomaly (Buildings)
Shard beacon	1 + 30	Building - Anomaly (Buildings)
Shard inhibitor	15 + 1	Building - Anomaly (Buildings)
Sleep suppressor	1 + 100 + 25	Building - Anomaly (Buildings)
Bioferrite generator	50 + 100 + 4 + 1	Building - Power
Biomutation lance	1 + 50 + 20	Gear - Utility
Deadlife pack	30 + 1	Gear - Utility
Shard insanity lance	1 + 75	Gear - Utility
Shard shock lance	1 + 60	Gear - Utility
Revenant vertebrae	10 + 1 + 2	Medical Items - Body Parts

A single shard, along with 30 bioferrite is used to create a ghoul via the ghoul infusion operation.

The brainwipe, philophagy, and imbue death refusal psychic ritual all require and consume a single shard.

Two shards are required to deactivate each obelisk while one is required to deactivate the golden cube.

Analysis[edit]

While a rare material in the early game they become more and more abundant as many of the buildings who need them are either capped (like shard beacons) or only needed once (like the serum lab)

While it is useless by itself, it can be built into devices that harness its power to produce exotic effects.
