Ficsonium Fuel Rod acquisition

Produce the rod in a Quantum Encoder with the recipe available. It is a manufactured fuel item, not a resource node product.

Before you go

Farming steps

  1. Make the Fuel Rod recipe available and place or select a Quantum Encoder.
  2. Supply the recipe's four inputs at their listed batch amounts.
  3. Provide separate handling for the solid Fuel Rod and the Dark Matter Residue coproduct.
  4. Run the 24-second cycle and collect one rod and 20 m³ Dark Matter Residue.
  5. Handle the radioactive rod appropriately and route it to a Nuclear Power Plant if that is your intended use.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat batches while all inputs are available and the residue outlet and radioactive-material handling plan have capacity.

Common mistakes

  • Counting Dark Matter Residue as a recipe input; it is an output coproduct.
  • Ignoring the large Ficsite Trigon requirement or the residue produced each cycle.
  • Handling the Fuel Rod as ordinary nonradioactive inventory.

When to stop or switch

Stop when your fuel reserve is sufficient or residue handling or radioactive-material capacity approaches its planned limit.
