Where to find Runaway Mould
Mine it from Curious Deposits on some planets. The Runaway Mould shows up as a sphere that rolls when you mine the deposit. Galactic Trade Terminals also buy and sell it.
You can also refine it: 1 Living Slime makes 1 Runaway Mould, and 1 Atlantideum plus 1 Pugneum makes 3 in a Medium Refiner.
Why bother: 5 Runaway Mould refine into 1 Nanite Cluster. The nanite farm guide has the full loop.
