Neural-Quantum Processor is a late production component made in a Quantum Encoder after unlocking the recipe and machine. The default cycle consumes Time Crystals, a Supercomputer, Ficsite Trigons, and Excited Photonic Matter; it also produces Dark Matter Residue, which must have a valid fluid output path. That residue stream and the specialized inputs are the main bottlenecks. The item is used in AI Expansion Server production, whose output includes Dark Matter Residue as well. Each 20-second cycle makes one processor and 25 m³ of residue. The item is manufactured; there is no processor deposit to locate.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Build a Quantum Encoder and feed it from the corresponding ingredient lines. Do not look for a processor deposit; this item is manufactured. Provide a fluid output connection for Dark Matter Residue and account for the Quantum Encoder's variable power use.

Before you craft

  • Quantum Encoder and default recipe unlocked
  • 5 Time Crystals, 1 Supercomputer, 15 Ficsite Trigons, and 25 m³ Excited Photonic Matter per cycle
  • A route or storage plan for 25 m³ Dark Matter Residue per cycle
  1. Unlock the Neural-Quantum Processor recipe and Quantum Encoder through normal progression.
  2. Establish supply for Time Crystals, Supercomputer, and Ficsite Trigons, then connect them to the encoder.
  3. Connect Excited Photonic Matter at 25 m³ per recipe cycle and verify the fluid input is available.
  4. Provide a fluid output connection for the 25 m³ Dark Matter Residue coproduct before relying on continuous operation.
  5. Run the Quantum Encoder and route Neural-Quantum Processors to AI Expansion Server production or storage.

Crafting tips

  • At 100% clock, the 20-second cycle consumes 15 Time Crystals, 3 Supercomputers, 45 Ficsite Trigons, and 75 m³ Excited Photonic Matter per minute.
  • The same rate produces 3 processors and 75 m³ Dark Matter Residue per minute; keep the residue output clear.
  • Power draw can vary with the Quantum Encoder. Confirm power capacity and the output fluid route if production stops.

Repeat, collect and use

Maintain input and residue handling while processors are needed downstream; inspect the encoder if output stops despite adequate solid ingredients. Check both fluid connections as well as the solid feeds before expanding the line.

Common mistakes

  • Ignoring the Dark Matter Residue coproduct until the fluid output blocks production.
  • Treating Excited Photonic Matter as a solid item instead of supplying the stated fluid volume.
  • Looking for a natural processor resource rather than constructing the Quantum Encoder production setup.

When to stop or switch

Stop the Encoder when the processor stock meets the planned AI Expansion Server run and the residue buffer or network is handled.
