Exolith Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get started with Exolith Mod?
Find a fallen meteorite in your world and craft the Codex guidebook from it—this is your main tutorial. The Codex will walk you through crystal energy generation, probe building, and all core mechanics step by step.
What's the fastest way to set up crystal power?
Plant crystal seeds, place resonance pedestals around them, and connect optical lenses to form your network. The pedestals must be positioned correctly to resonate with each other and generate wireless power.
Do I need to go to the Nether or End to use this mod?
No—Exolith Mod doesn't add new dimensions. All space exploration happens through probes you launch from your base, so you can gather rare materials without leaving the Overworld.
My probe crashed and I lost cargo—can I get it back?
Yes, you can run rescue missions to retrieve lost parts and cargo from crashed probes. Use your celestial telescope to locate the crash site and plan your retrieval.
How do I know which planet to send my probe to?
Build a celestial telescope and use it to scan the sky—it will show you available target planets and track your probe flights in real time so you can choose high-value collection sites.
What does the crystal companion do and how do I upgrade it?
Your crystal companion helps you mine, farm, and fight monsters. Upgrade it by collecting alien matter from your probe missions and using it to enhance the companion's abilities and speed.
Can I automate probe launches?
Yes—build an automated launch pad as part of your factory line using conveyor belts and crushers to process materials, then assemble and launch probes automatically.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
Exolith Mod is designed to avoid heavy lag by keeping space exploration lightweight and not adding new dimensions. Crystal networks and factory automation are optimized for smooth performance.
What's the difference between alien matter and regular materials?
Alien matter is rare material collected from distant star systems via probes. You use it to craft gravity controllers, machine speed boosters, and upgrades for your crystal companion.
Do I need to read the Codex or can I figure it out myself?
The Codex is built into the mod as your main guide and explains all game mechanics as you progress. It's recommended to reference it, especially when learning crystal networks and probe assembly.
