Resource Synthesizers are a distinct research track. Check the actual unlock and its listed output before investing in it for a specific shortage.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Where to farm
Research interface under Resource Synthesizers in the campaign research tree.
Use the research interface to inspect prerequisites and the award attached to each synthesizer level. The campaign tree establishes that this track exists separately from Rare Element Mining, but it does not establish arbitrary basic ore production.
Campaign research access and the points or resources required by the displayed node.
Completion of prerequisites listed in the live tree.
A specific resource need that matches the actual unlock.
Open the research tree and locate Resource Synthesizers.
Inspect the node’s prerequisite chain and current cost.
Read the unlock description and identify its actual structure or production function.
Compare the shown output with the shortage you are trying to solve.
Research the node only if its reward addresses that need.
Build or activate the unlocked production method as instructed by the in-game interface.
Check the resulting stockpile or production status before relying on it for a large project.
Farming tips
Treat each synthesizer level as its own unlock; inspect the level you intend to purchase.
Keep Rare Element Mining separate in your planning because it is listed as a different research track.
Repeat, collect and use
Research is a one-time progression unlock per level. Any production enabled by it can be repeated only according to the actual in-game building and input rules.
Common mistakes
Assuming the name means any basic ore can be created: verify the named output in the unlock details.
Skipping prerequisites: follow the displayed tree rather than spending toward an unavailable node.
Planning construction around unverified production: test the unlock and confirm output first.
When to stop or switch
Stop research when the desired function is unlocked and confirmed; choose mining or another research path if the reward does not address the shortage.
