As of 2.0, enemies no longer drop cores when killed. The below information should be considered obsolete.
| “ | UNPSC explorer 12 log 13-5 dark cores. Dark cores are the remnants from unique radius species that now inhabit Pechorsk. They are composed of a dark inner material and emit a blueish glow; cores are left behind by radius species after they are eliminated and begin to rapidly decay within hours. The cores of fragments resemble a cross between a shattered christmas decoration and a Calabi-Yau Manifold. The cores of mimics look like a weave nest with a unique triangular pyramid in the middle. The cores of spawns appear similar to Möbius strips fused together. The cores of teleporters are comparable to a fragmented washer bolt. I can't help but wish dark cores did something though. The UNPSC has us collect them like other artifacts so they must believe the dark cores have some potential use or value, the current working theory is that dark cores provide insight about the nature of the radius, what brought it into being, what sustains it. Because they come from a radius species it’s believed that the remnants are a kind of life force, that the life force must be connected to whatever power is responsible for all of it. | ” |
