Superposition Oscillator is a manufactured component used in quantum and dimensional technology recipes, including AI Expansion Server, Alien Power Matrix, and Ballistic Warp Drive. A Quantum Encoder makes it from Dark Matter Crystal, Crystal Oscillator, Alclad Aluminum Sheet, and Excited Photonic Matter. The bottleneck is the combination of solid ingredients and the required photonic matter, plus handling the Dark Matter Residue coproduct.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Unlock and build a Quantum Encoder, select Superposition Oscillator, and supply all four named inputs. Provide fluid capacity for both Excited Photonic Matter input and Dark Matter Residue output.

Before you craft

  • Quantum Encoder and recipe unlocked.
  • Dark Matter Crystal, Crystal Oscillator, Alclad Aluminum Sheet, and Excited Photonic Matter.
  • Output handling for Dark Matter Residue.
  1. Unlock the recipe and place a powered Quantum Encoder.
  2. Set it to Superposition Oscillator.
  3. Connect the three solid ingredients and Excited Photonic Matter input.
  4. Connect or store the Dark Matter Residue output so it can flow freely.
  5. Collect the oscillators and route them to the intended downstream recipe.

Crafting tips

  • At 100% clock, a 12-second batch uses 6 Dark Matter Crystal, 1 Crystal Oscillator, 9 Alclad Aluminum Sheet, and 25 m³ Excited Photonic Matter to make 1 oscillator and 25 m³ Dark Matter Residue; listed rates are 5 oscillators and 125 m³ residue per minute.
  • Residue is a distinct coproduct and needs its own fluid handling.

Repeat, collect and use

Run batches while ingredients and output capacity are available; check all input and residue lines if the Encoder pauses.

Common mistakes

  • Searching for a Superposition Oscillator node instead of producing it in a Quantum Encoder.
  • Blocking the residue output or omitting the Excited Photonic Matter input.

When to stop or switch

Stop or throttle production when oscillator demand is met or residue handling capacity is full.
