Pentapod egg is an item obtained from egg rafts on Gleba or from stompers. They can also be manufactured from other eggs in a biochamber.

Eggs spoil into premature wrigglers. Eggs have a fuel value, so excess eggs can be burned in heating towers or any other burner devices.

Eggs output by the recipe are always 100% fresh. The recipe for pentapod eggs is catalytic, requiring 1 egg to produce more eggs. Productivity only applies to the net output of eggs.

Nutrients are used as biochamber fuel as well as an ingredient in this recipe. When crafting eggs to a specific quality, the biochamber's fuel slot can be filtered to only accept base-quality nutrients. This prevents using precious higher quality nutrients as fuel.
