Hidden in plain sight across thousands of worlds, the Autophage are a self-built fourth civilisation of discarded Korvax shells and independent Echoes resurrected through violet Atlantideum crystals. Severed from the Conformity of the Convergence, each Construct repairs its own mismatched limbs from salvaged starship scrap, draped desert ponchos, and glowing optic lenses while living completely off the station grid.
Unmasking cloaked camps with Polyphonic tech
Until you finish the main storyline and trigger They Who Returned, Autophage camps stand completely invisible even if you walk straight through their tents. Installing the Scan Harmoniser and Polyphonic Core on your Multi-Tool lets a local scan pulse peel back their optical cloak around Drop Pods, Waypoints, Crashed Freighters, and Dissonant Harmonic Camps.
Void Mote rewards, Voltaic Staffs, and settlements
Fulfilling simple scrap-repair and salvage errands for camp residents raises dedicated Autophage standing, teaches Construct vocabulary, and pays out Void Mote. Spending Void Mote at camp Synthesis Terminals unlocks modular Voltaic Staff Multi-Tool assembly, weathered robotic armour sets, Exosuit upgrades, Autophage Settlement Charts, and the questline leading to Purple star systems.
