CRAFTING & INGREDIENTS

Time Crystal acquisition

Use a Converter with the Time Crystal recipe available. Supply Diamonds at the input and route the crystals to storage or a downstream quantum production line.

Time Crystals are made by converting Diamonds. They feed quantum processing recipes, including Synthetic Power Shard and Neural-Quantum Processor. Build a Converter and route Diamonds into it; the Converter’s power draw varies, so leave enough capacity in your grid and watch for power problems as the machine runs.

GET STARTED

How to craft

Before you craft

A Converter with the Time Crystal recipe available.
Diamonds delivered to the Converter.
Power capacity and a clear output route.

Unlock the Time Crystal recipe and build a Converter.
Connect the machine to power and select Time Crystal.
Supply Diamonds; each batch consumes 2 Diamonds and produces 1 Time Crystal.
Route the output to storage or to a recipe that needs Time Crystals.
Check the Converter and power grid if production pauses or the grid becomes unstable.

Crafting tips

At 100% clock, the standard recipe uses 12 Diamonds and produces 6 Time Crystals per minute.
Converter power draw can vary from 100 to 400, so account for that range when planning your power supply.
Diamonds are made from Coal in a Particle Accelerator.

Repeat, collect and use

Keep Diamonds supplied and the output clear while your downstream production needs Time Crystals.

Common mistakes

Searching for Time Crystals as a resource node instead of converting Diamonds.
Assuming a Converter has a fixed power draw and overlooking grid capacity.

When to stop or switch

Stop or reduce conversion once your Time Crystal reserve and connected consumers have enough.
