Golden Nugget — Detailed Guide

The Golden Nugget is a lump of raw gold ore from Genesis: Part 1. It is a mission resource, not a crafting material: it belongs to the Mound Over Matter mission, where creatures are drawn to its shine and bury it.

What it is used for

It only matters inside the mission. It cannot be refined and vanishes once the mission ends, so there is no point in carrying any home.

Tips

Each nugget weighs 1 and they do not stack, so collect them one by one while the mission runs.
