CRAFTING & INGREDIENTS

Crystal Oscillator acquisition

Set a Manufacturer to the Crystal Oscillator recipe and supply its three solid inputs. Route the output to storage or a downstream recipe.

A Manufacturer makes Crystal Oscillators from Quartz Crystals, Cable, and Reinforced Iron Plates. Each batch consumes 36 Quartz Crystals, 28 Cable, and 5 Reinforced Iron Plates, producing 2 Oscillators. At 100% clock, that is 1 Oscillator per minute, using 18 Quartz Crystals, 14 Cable, and 2.5 Reinforced Iron Plates per minute. Listed uses include Radio Control Units, Pulse Nobelisks, and Superposition Oscillators. Keep all three ingredient streams balanced to maintain production.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Before you craft

Crystal Oscillator recipe and Manufacturer.
Quartz Crystal, Cable, and Reinforced Iron Plate supplies.
An open output path to storage or a consumer.

Place a Manufacturer and select Crystal Oscillator.
Connect separate supply lines for Quartz Crystal, Cable, and Reinforced Iron Plate.
At 100% clock, budget 18 Quartz Crystals, 14 Cable, and 2.5 Reinforced Iron Plates per minute.
Clear the output belt or storage path so Oscillators can leave the Manufacturer.
Route Oscillators to a listed consumer such as Radio Control Unit or Pulse Nobelisk production.
Inspect each input buffer and the output path before changing the production rate.

Crafting tips

One batch yields 2 Oscillators from 36 Quartz Crystals, 28 Cable, and 5 Reinforced Iron Plates.
Crystal Oscillators are also used in the Quantum Encoder’s Superposition Oscillator recipe.
The alternate Insulated Crystal Oscillator recipe requires its unlock.

Repeat, collect and use

Keep all three ingredient feeds balanced and expand production only when consumer demand exceeds the current output.

Common mistakes

Do not search for a Crystal Oscillator deposit; manufacture it in a Manufacturer.
Do not plan for 2 Oscillators per minute at 100% clock; the listed rate is 1 per minute.
