AI Expansion Server acquisition
Build and power a Quantum Encoder after unlocking its building and the AI Expansion Server recipe. Feed it Magnetic Field Generators, Neural-Quantum Processors, Superposition Oscillators, and Excited Photonic Matter. The item itself has no resource node to search for.

Before you go
- Quantum Encoder and recipe unlocked
- 1 Magnetic Field Generator, 1 Neural-Quantum Processor, 1 Superposition Oscillator, and 25 m³ Excited Photonic Matter per batch
Farming steps
- Unlock the recipe and Quantum Encoder before planning production.
- Arrange deliveries of the three named solid ingredients to the encoder.
- Supply 25 m³ Excited Photonic Matter for each batch.
- Connect output handling for both AI Expansion Servers and Dark Matter Residue.
- Route servers to the Space Elevator when Project Assembly requests them.
- Check input buffers and residue clearance before increasing throughput.
- At 100% clock, the encoder consumes 4/min of each solid ingredient and 100 m³/min Excited Photonic Matter.
- The recipe outputs 4 servers/min and 100 m³/min Dark Matter Residue at 100% clock.
- Keep residue flowing away so the coproduct does not block production.
Repeat, collect and use
Maintain the four input streams and clear the residue output continuously; replenish whichever buffer empties first.
Common mistakes
- Planning to find AI Expansion Servers on the map: they are manufactured in the Quantum Encoder.
- Ignoring Dark Matter Residue, which is a coproduct and can obstruct production if its output backs up.
When to stop or switch
Stop or pause the encoder when the Space Elevator quota is met, or if any input or residue output is blocked.
