A '''captive biter spawner''' is a special production building that is initially unlocked on [[Gleba]]{{SA}}. It can be "built" by firing a [[capture bot rocket]]{{SA}} at a [[Enemies#Nests|biter spawner]] on [[Nauvis]], which will slowly transform the spawner into a captive one. A captive spawner will lose health at a rate of 1/second, unless fed with a supply of [[bioflux]]{{SA}}. If a captive spawner's health reaches zero, it will transform back into a normal spawner and will have to be captured again. While captured, a spawner will generate [[biter egg]]{{SA}} at a rate of 0.5/second. Unlike other spoilable items, a biter egg will only begin to spoil once it has been removed from the spawner.

A captive biter spawner has no [[module]] slots, and is unaffected by [[beacon]]s.

A captive spawner cannot be removed by the player or [[construction robot]]s, but can be destroyed via weapon fire, at which point it will spawn a small biter.

After reaching [[Aquilo]]{{SA}}, the player can craft biter spawners themselves using eggs and [[uranium-235]], which can be manually placed. While in the player's inventory or another container, a captive spawner has a spoilage time of 30 minutes, at which point it will turn into a behemoth biter. Higher [[quality]]{{SA}} grades of this crafted biter spawner will increase its crafting time.
