Fridge Worm quick answer
Fridge Worm is a worm flora entry associated with Karakorum. Treat it as a route marker first and a harvest target second; many bad plant routes start when players gather before they know the recipe need.
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Main region | Karakorum |
| Type | Worm flora |
| Scan or harvest method | Scan when health and oxygen are both high. |
| Main use | Plant log, cold/deep route clue |
| Risk | Medium |
Location and route
Approach Fridge Worm from a known oxygen point, scan the plant, then check the floor, walls, and nearby fauna before harvesting. If the plant sits in Karakorum hazards, mark it and return with the right tool instead of forcing the route.
Uses and unlock value
The practical value is plant log, cold/deep route clue. If it supports a recipe, collect only the amount needed for the next craft. If it is a landmark, use it to label the route and connect it to the nearest biome or resource loop.
Risk and scan notes
Treat as a deeper-biome signal. In co-op, call out the plant name, region, and nearest return marker so teammates can reuse the route without duplicating the scouting work.
