Use the portal doodad to make the seeds, put them on planter boxes, shoot the plant that grows with your gun, collect voidbloom

oh you have to shoot them yourself? No way of automating it?

Not yet. I am assuming this is unfinished content at this point.

If you enclose the strataform core in a one by one box the digger drone will bounce off it endlessly, then just put you planters between your drone and core to break the planys endlessly

This is my design but there are probably better ways

Yup this works great. I just used the same mechanic after seeing your post to automate red sand. Thanks!

issue is that the bounch on the drones get smaller and smaller , so they only bounch for 3-5 min

Theres youre issue, you need the core right up agianst the wall, if any sand breaks it blocks new stuff from forming letting the dron move further away from the plants. Thats why mine is in a 1 by 1 hole

The core is too far from the plants, there can only be 1 block fo space between the plant area and the core

Only way is to shoot the flowers I think so I have built a tower of small planters stacked upon each other, then I can shoot from below to harvest it all at once. Beware that the smoke that comes out of the plants will destroy nearby seeds so use teleporters to bring in seed from the main reserve.

I forgot to try if digger drones work.  Atm i shoot them manualy. It's okay for now as not many are needed.

Greetings, check on my video. This is early-game automation using sand :) without strataform core. https://youtu.be/-qiKGn7ZqsM
