Quartz Crystal is a mid-game intermediate item used for crafting advanced electronic items.

Alternate recipes analysis
The following shows different ways to produce 1 Quartz Crystal / second, or 60 / min:
 * Weighted Point is the weighted consumption rate, which is calculated by: . The lower, the better.
 * Energy per item can be used to measure how much power is consumed for the entire production chain. The lower, the better.
 * Building space and building count are summed for all buildings, excluding belts, pipes, power poles, power lines and other logistic infrastructures. The lower, the better.

Tips

 * Quartz Crystal was previously not very useful. However, with the addition of Lights in Update 4, and the various components required for Drones & Phase 4 of Project Assembly, it has found purpose as a necessary precursor to the Crystal Oscillator. Raw Quartz, Quartz Crystal's precursor, should still be refined into Silica before efforts are made to create a Crystal Oscillator production chain, as large amounts of Silica are needed for Aluminum production.

History

 * Patch 0.1.5: Introduced
