Cores are collected by searching the frontier or by extracting them from resource nodes. When you get to the point where you can push out from New London and look into the surrounding areas, click on a region to see its potential rewards. Cores will be marked on the potential findings section. After exploring an area, you might find a point of interest that has a Core you can harvest. This is also a great way to get more workers or even other resources like Prefabs.

The other way to get a Core is from gathering them in the same manner you would materials and food.
