Ingredient Plinth

The Ingredient Plinth is a Creative-mode utility item used to generate resources. It belongs to the Item Plinths family and functions as a straightforward resource spawner rather than a conventional production machine. In practice, it is mainly a testing and sandbox tool, letting players place whatever resource they need without gathering materials first.

The Ingredient Plinth is obtained from the Creative Mode Research Catalog and cannot be acquired in non-Creative games. It can generate every individual resource in the game, making it useful for building demonstrations, experimentation, and rapid setup of test scenarios. Because of that role, it is especially relevant in worlds where resource collection would otherwise slow down comparison tests or construction planning.

Before it was added to Creative Mode, the item was known as the Trap Module and was only available to developers for quickly spawning resources during testing. It also appeared briefly in patch 0.10.5 on the Exotic Technical Test Moon, an early version of Novus, where players used it to test the new terrain system without worrying about gathering materials. During that period, it could generate any resource in the game, including the removed Power and Oxygen nuggets.
