How do I get pentapod eggs with no enemies mode enabled? They don't seem to spawn...

How far have you explored ?

Oh wow. And you landed all the way to the right ?!

But did you change the starting area size ?

Yes, I usually turn it up to 600%...
The reason I went all the way to the left was because I was looking for iron + copper stratolites, then once finding those - looking for yumakos + jellynuts. What I didn't know at the time was that copper stratolites spawn next to yumakos, and (likely) iron stratolites spawn next to jellynuts...

I see at least six rafts on your last screenshot (unless all these are wrigglers from spoiled eggs).
Rafts do drop eggs upon destruction. These are REALLY hard to spot though. And have to be picked up from the ground manually (OR through indiscriminate Deconstruction Planner usage).

Oh, my bad, I thought your last screenshot meant to say «this is how long it took».
They are red on the minimap.

These points are worth double-checking.
Once again, sometimes things are VERY hard to spot visually in all these lush bushes.
That's when careful examination of minimap, followed by extermination of every red pixel with extreme prejudice, comes handy.
Followed by a quick celebration jig on top of each body with F key pressed, to loot whatever dropped (if dropped).

My eyes are not as sharp as ten years ago. However, all these pixels look hungry for jellynuts to me. Hungry for MY jellynuts!

I found the eggs...

I was wondering how this was going to work...

Do the eggs still hatch into wrigglers in peaceful mode?
