CRAFTING & INGREDIENTS

Excited Photonic Matter acquisition

Generate it in a Converter after unlocking the recipe and building. This is manufactured gas, not a resource node to mine or a gas well to tap.

Excited Photonic Matter is a gas used by all Quantum Encoder production processes listed here. A Converter generates it through photon interactions involving SAM in a high-energy environment; the default recipe has no listed material ingredients. The practical bottlenecks are having the Converter and recipe unlocked, power availability, and matching gas production to Quantum Encoder demand.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Before you craft

Converter and Excited Photonic Matter recipe unlocked.
Power for the Converter; its variable power range is 100–400 MW.
A gas connection and Quantum Encoder demand.

Unlock and place a Converter, then select Excited Photonic Matter.
Connect power and make sure your grid can support its variable 100–400 MW demand.
Attach the appropriate gas pipe output and route it to Quantum Encoder production.
Start the Converter and confirm gas reaches the connected consumer.
Use the gas in Quantum Encoder recipes such as Synthetic Power Shard or Superposition Oscillator.
At 100% clock, use the listed rate of 200 m³ per minute to plan supply.

Crafting tips

The default recipe lists no ingredients and no coproducts.
The listed Quantum Encoder uses also produce Dark Matter Residue; that is a downstream coproduct, not output from the Converter.

Repeat, collect and use

Run the Converter while Quantum Encoder demand continues; compare the gas line's 200 m³/min rate at 100% clock with actual consumption.

Common mistakes

Searching for a natural Excited Photonic Matter deposit or well.
Ignoring power demand or assuming the Quantum Encoder has no coproduct handling needs.
