Before you go
- Dark Matter Crystal recipe and Particle Accelerator.
- Diamonds and Dark Matter Residue supplied at the intended rate.
- Power capacity for the Accelerator’s variable 500–1500 MW demand.
Farming steps
- Place a Particle Accelerator and select Dark Matter Crystal.
- Connect Diamonds by belt and Dark Matter Residue by pipe.
- At 100% clock, budget 30 Diamonds and 150 m³ Residue per minute for 30 Crystals per minute.
- Check the power grid’s capacity for the Accelerator’s variable draw.
- Provide an open output route for Crystals and send them to a consumer.
- If output drops, inspect both input supplies and available power.
- The batch ratio is 1 Diamond and 5 m³ Residue for 1 Crystal.
- Dark Matter Residue is a gas measured in cubic metres, not item count.
- Alternate Dark Matter Crystal recipes require their respective unlocks.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep both inputs supplied and review power availability when you change clock speed or add Accelerators.
Common mistakes
- Do not search the world for Dark Matter Crystal deposits; make them in a Particle Accelerator.
- Do not count 5 m³ Residue as five solid items.
When to stop or switch
Stop adding Accelerator capacity when Crystal demand is met and gas supply and power remain stable.
