I'm talking about shapes like this:
Or this:
I've installed "Extra Object" add-on, but I still don't know whether it can generate this kind of shape and where the option is.

7$\begingroup$ You could just borrow a couple of steps from here. (Make a regular solid, get rid of unwanted edges, poke, scale. Or GZ with 'Normal' orientation.) $\endgroup$– Robin Betts ♦Commented Jul 10, 2021 at 7:24

$\begingroup$ @RobinBetts what does 'GZ' stand for here? $\endgroup$– Lai Yu-HsuanCommented Jul 10, 2021 at 8:57

$\begingroup$ That's the literal keyboard shortcut for 'grab(move) & constrain to the Z axis'. Here used with face-center vertices selected. (Pivot: 'Individual Origins', Orientation: 'Normal' in the header dropdowns) $\endgroup$– Robin Betts ♦Commented Jul 10, 2021 at 9:22

$\begingroup$ @vklidu np :D .. different angle on it, and no add-ons. $\endgroup$– Robin Betts ♦Commented Jul 10, 2021 at 15:28

- Add Icosphere > Subdivision 1
- Bevel Vertices cmd+B type 0.304, Merge by distanc M
- Search Poke Faces
- Scale S

Solution with geometry nodes:
- add an icosphere with 1 subdivision
- hide the icosphere and add a Mesh -> Circle with 5 vertices
- Go in edit-mode, E to extrude, Z and move up
- Press M to merge vertices -> at center
- Go to object mode and hide this "circle" and unhide the icosphere and create this geometry node setup for the icosphere:
result:
Depending on your dimensions it might be necessary that you change the threshold value a bit.
