Treasure Pods are spherical objects found dotted around the Far, Far Range. Each one will reward Beatrix with a unique blueprint for Slime Science gadgets, a Decoration, 3 Slime Science Resources, or - more rarely - 3 Golden Plorts. They are usually found in out of the way spots and can be only opened once per game. There are currently 86 Treasure Pods in the game.

To open them you need the Treasure Cracker upgrade. There are three Tiers of Treasure Cracker, each having their own requirements:

• Treasure Cracker MKI opens green Pods and will become available once The Lab is unlocked and an Extractor has completed its first cycle.
• Treasure Cracker MKII opens blue pods and becomes available after the MKI has been bought and a total of 35 Gadgets have been built in The Lab.
• Treasure Cracker MKIII opens purple pods and becomes available after the MKII has bought and a total of 100 Gadgets have been built in The Lab.

Note: You may need to wait a day for the Cracker blueprints to unlock once you satisfy the requirements to get them.
