With each new stage of development in The Planet Crafter, players get access to a new set of species they can use to add color and life to the landscape. The second-to-last stage of development is Amphibians, and with it comes a set of frog species.
The way frog eggs spawn in The Planet Crafter is different from both the way you get insect larvae and the way you find fish eggs. However, once you figure out the trick, you can use it to craft and discover all 14 species of frog that the game has to offer.
The Planet Crafter: How to Find Every Quartz
The Planet Crafter features five kinds of stellar quartz, and players can find most of them in the same locations.
Where to Find Frog Eggs
The main way you find frog eggs in The Planet Crafter is by looking for natural frog ponds. At some point between the Fish and Amphibian terraformation stages, frogs will start to appear in these tiny ponds that dot the landscape. Look for a shallow collection of stones with a bit of water in the middle. Adult frogs will start to appear in them later on, but before then you should be able to find a set of white frog eggs by the water.
The way frog eggs spawn has more in common with zeolite deposits than with insect larvae or fish eggs. They only start appearing once you reach a certain terraformation stage, and each pond only provides one set of frog eggs. You eventually get a recipe for Generic Frog Eggs, but until then your supply of them is limited.
You can create most frog species by using Generic Frog Eggs in an Incubator, but a few species come from other sources:
Space Trader
Aside from flowers, the Space Trader offers a unique species of almost every life form you can find on the planet. Just be prepared to shell out a lot of Terra Tokens to get their unique frog species.
Procedural Wrecks
The "Procedural Wrecks" update gives players a potentially endless supply of formerly limited items like crop seeds, flower seeds, and microchips. You can also find two frog species in distant wrecks that aren't available elsewhere.
Biome Exploration
The frog ponds in a few of the game's biomes feature unique frog species. You can tell which ponds are unique at a glance, because the frogs hopping around them don't look like the generic species.
The Planet Crafter: How to Use Machine Optimizers
While other machines help you automate resource gathering and item creation, the optimizers of The Planet Crafter can make every machine work better.
How to Get Every Type of Frog Eggs
- Just like with butterflies and fish, the Incubator doesn't list every frog species it can create. If a frog species says "Hidden" in the list below, you can craft them immediately if you have the ingredients.
- Another common feature is that you can put craftable frog eggs in the Recycler to get the raw ingredients back. This means you can conserve resources and try again if you didn't get the species you wanted.
- Unlike generic insect larvae, you can add Generic Frog Eggs to an Amphibian Farm without having to craft them into something else.
