Quartz Crystal is manufactured from Raw Quartz in a Constructor. It is used for Crystal Oscillators, Synthetic Power Shards, Shatter Rebar, and optional Radio Connection Unit, Insulated Crystal Oscillator, and Pink Diamonds recipes. The standard recipe consumes five Raw Quartz and produces three Quartz Crystals per batch. Quartz Crystal is not itself a resource-node material; gather Raw Quartz from a suitable source and process it. The main production bottleneck is delivering Raw Quartz to the Constructor and ensuring there is storage or demand for the crystal output. Optional recipe uses depend on their availability in your game.
Filter a resource, then select a marker or location below for its purity, elevation and coordinates. The map is hosted here.

Scale production while Raw Quartz supply and Crystal storage or downstream consumption can support the added flow.
Stop or throttle the Constructor when Raw Quartz is constrained or Quartz Crystal output has filled available storage.
