Structures & Deployables:

Structures now have a new inventory bay “Core Room” where an appropriate Quantum Core can be installed. The Core is non-removable once fitted, but will drop with 100% chance when structure is destroyed or unanchored.

The Core is currently optional and does not change any structure functionality, but in a future update structures lacking a Core will lose some abilities. See this dev blog for more details about how Quantum Cores will work, including a timeline.
