Gravcores are rare resources added by the Odyssey DLC that are vital for the upgrading of gravships.

Acquisition[edit]

Gravcores can be acquired from a total of 3 sources, all quest related:

  • Each of "The Gravship" sub-quests, except the final one, will provide 1 gravcore.
  • They have a 20% chance of appearing from gravship-upgrade sealed crates.
  • As a reward from other Odyssey-related quests. [What quests?]

After finishing main Gravship quest, subquests stop spawning, which heavily limits accessibility to new Gravcores.

Usage[edit]

Gravcores are used in the following crafting recipes:

  • Product Ingredients Type
    Grav field extender Grav field extender Content added by the Odyssey DLC Gravcore 1 + Gravlite panel 35 + Component 2 + Steel 80 Building - Odyssey (Buildings)
    Signal jammer Signal jammer Content added by the Odyssey DLC Gravcore 1 + Steel 200 + Gravlite panel 80 + Advanced component 4 Building - Odyssey (Buildings)
    Gravcore power cell Gravcore power cell Content added by the Odyssey DLC Gravcore 1 + Gravlite panel 50 + Advanced component 2 + Steel 60 Building - Power
  • Analysis[edit]

    There is a limit of 6 grav field extenders and 1 signal jammer, so any gravcores past the seventh can be freely used to create gravcore power cells.

    Before the limits are reached, there is some competition between the three buildings. The first few gravcores should be used on field extenders to expand the initially small size of the gravship. After that, it depends on whether more space is needed (field extender) or if free power is needed (power cell). The signal jammer is of low priority, as it is only needed to enter the mechhive and to raid the traders guild platforms. The former is the final stage of the gravship quest, while the latter is generally not worth doing even if it was free. It should be built once the Mechhive is available.
