Dark Matter Residue
Dark Matter Residue is a gas used in recipes including Dark Matter Crystal and Ficsonium.

Dark Matter Residue acquisition
Use a Converter with the Dark Matter Residue recipe, or pipe Residue from a Quantum Encoder process that produces it. Route the gas to a consumer or a suitable storage setup.

Before you go
- Dark Matter Residue recipe and Converter for direct production, or a Quantum Encoder coproduct source.
- Reanimated SAM for the Converter route.
- Gas piping and sufficient downstream use or storage.
Farming steps
- Choose direct Converter production or capture Residue from a Quantum Encoder coproduct.
- For direct production, configure a Converter for Dark Matter Residue and connect Reanimated SAM.
- At 100% clock, supply 50 Reanimated SAM per minute for 100 m³ Residue per minute.
- Pipe the gas output to a consumer and ensure it can accept the flow.
- Use Residue in a Particle Accelerator recipe such as Dark Matter Crystal when available.
- Check gas flow and Reanimated SAM delivery if output falls below plan.
- Each Converter batch uses 5 Reanimated SAM and outputs 10 m³ Residue.
- Quantum Encoder recipes may make Residue alongside their main product; account for every output.
- The Converter recipe draws variable power from 100 to 400 MW.
Repeat, collect and use
Match Converter output to demand and keep coproduct lines clear when collecting Residue from Quantum Encoders.
Common mistakes
- Do not search for a Dark Matter Residue node; produce it in a Converter or collect it as a coproduct.
- Do not read 100 m³ per minute as 100 solid items.
When to stop or switch
Stop expanding production when consumers stay supplied and pipes do not back up with unused Residue.
