I took a video of my whispering egg harvesting method.
However, this is now the old method as I'm an idiot and there is an even faster method. Put a wall around ONE nest of eggs, usually around 8 walls built up against the building to surround it. Then harvest an egg INSIDE that wall, then jetpack out. Congratulations! Those assholes are now all trapped inside a wooden prison and you're free to run around and harvest every single other egg on the ground.
Man, after getting used to the silky smooth movement and control of a fighter, my new hauler SUCKS to fly.
I had to make a trip to the space station to sell a bunch of stuff as my suit and ship inventories were full and I found more whispering eggs. While there, a B-class hauler landed that had a great shield bonus and 29 slots, compared to the 17 on my fighter, so I outright bought the hauler so I could have both a fighter and a hauler, plus my fighter was loaded down with essentials like magnetised ferrite, condensed carbon, uranium, ionized cobalt, Tritium and Chromatic Metal. So doing a swap wasn't an option.
Loaded up the hauler with the inventory from my fighter and headed back to the whispering eggs. Good lord that thing is a bitch to keep flying straight without wandering all over the place, especially while using pulse engines.

Only took 80 plus warps and on planet #100, I find a place to make my base.
Tossed em inside a spoiler to keep things clean.

Also it looks like 48 cargo slots, to go with the 48 basic slots. Not cheap but worth it.
Lol, meanwhile I'm over 15 hours into my new game and I'm still in my original starting system. I've pretty thoroughly covered two planets, a caustic planet and supercritical planet.
I've only made a very brief visit to the frozen planet, while I've started doing some more in depth exploring of the fourth planet, a boiling planet, which is where I found my fifth drop pod, another building full of whispering eggs and more ancient ruins.
Unfortunately I'm gonna have to leave the system at some point, as I need that antimatter Blueprint and I've got to leave the system to get it. I'm racking up drop pods that I can't finish repairing without that antimatter Blueprint.

I went that route when I played the earlier version. Would meticulously try and find everything on a planet. One of the great things about the game. So may ways to go about it.

Bdoughty, how many hours did it take you to find and begin construction on your base?
Right around 45 hours.
I have a few gripes with the base building. Someone needs to make a flatten option to clean up an area before building. Technically you do so when you lay down floors and in my case pavement (blue tiles) but that is glitchy as on a bigger base it just stops removing dirt anymore that is on top of what you place. Of course you can use the mine tool on the surface to remove it but that seems to create another problem. When you move far away from your base and come back some of that dirt reappears and eventually goes away as you stand there. In some cases it does not go away and is 50/50 on the ability to mine it again to remove it. There should also be an option, just like the create function of the mining too where you can change the size and shape and a shown area that will be mined when using the mine tool for base building.
When I build my large farm, it will be in the ocean. Also why are the storage units still so large in size? I should have buried them underground and it is still stupid they only have 5 slots (sure it holds 1000 each) but way too few slots for a game with so many different materials. Also you can't place these on floors you create even on a standard base floor. Just a big oversight here.
Here's the video of the easiest way I have found to harvest whispering eggs. Build a box of walls around a single nest of eggs (I went 3 by 3 to ensure they all spawned and were trapped inside the box), harvest an egg and grab the larval core from inside that box, then jetpack out.
Congratulations! You now have free reign to go after every single other egg around the building.
My new larval core collecting record is now 48 cores in less than 5 minutes. After collecting the final remaining eggs inside the box, I currently have 54 larval cores sitting in my inventory, worth $5.13 million units, from a single abandoned building, all in less than 10 minutes of total work.
Well, I finally made my first warp jump to a new system. Boy did I get screwed. Of the three planets in this system, there's a glacial planet that is nothing but mountains up the ass (though it does have rich fauna and generous flora), a completely dead and empty airless planet that is essentially a replica of our moon, and another radioactive supercritical planet.
Glacial planet, eh? Did it say there was Frost Crystal? You need the hazmat gloves to pick em but they are part of three ingredients (Coprite and Gamma Root being the others) that create glass and lubricant. Generally you have to start a base and start doing those quests to get those blueprints but it could also be found searching areas in planets the provide blueprints.
You farm the three items. They will create Glass and Lubricant. Which if you get the blueprint for Living Glass is made from them.
End Result (and I just started a few hours ago with limited resources so only 3 or the 5 slots were used) is pretty darn nice.
Why yes, it did say there were Frost Crystals. And I have about 1000 Gamma Roots that I randomly collected from the supercritical planet.Glacial planet, eh? Did it say there was Frost Crystal?

Now start feeding some of those animals you meet across each planet to start stocking up on Coptite. That sweet sweet poop can eventually be worth hundreds of millions.
Any use for thermic condensate? Just got 5 for completing an alien mission. Not sure whether to hang onto it or sell it for 250,000 units.
And yeah, got 821 Gamma root in my ship inventory currently. Also found Pyrite. Got close to 5,000 Pyrite in my inventory right now.

Not something you will need for quite some time, if ever. Here is a really good chart on what each item can be made into and with the ingredients involved. Once you get the base and the large refiner (which requires nothing to run) you can start making combinations (there are three slots).
Also the tech three and what it takes to create blueprints, length and amount needed to farm items to make money (The short grow time and only 3 items required is what makes Living Glass the best bet).

So I need to find blueprints before I can start doing the living glass stuff? In that case, I may sell the 1500 Gamma root I have now as it's filling up my inventory.
Also, is there a way to sell ships? I found a wrecked shuttle and claimed it, but taking a closer look at the damage, it's going to cost out the ass to fix everything. I'm talking stuff like 3000 Chromatic Metal, 180 Gold, 1800 Paraffinium, 50 Pugneum, 16 Technology Modules and even more resources beyond that. I'd rather just sell the ship and say screw it. It's only a Class C shuttle with 20 slots, so it's not even that great.

You can't sell ships, only exchange them for a better one or add them to your fleet. If the crashed ship was a valuable class A or S you could fix up the basic stuff just enough to get it to a space station or trading post to trade it in for a better ship than you currently have since it has a higher trade in value. In your case, it being a class C, not even worth messing with.

Damn. In that case, I hope in a future update that they give us the ability to discard ships from your collection like we can resources from our inventory. Now I'm stuck with a useless broken ship.
