Set Up Your First Crystal Energy Network
Gather Materials and Plant Seeds
Locate a fallen meteorite in your world to obtain crystal seeds. Plant these seeds in soil or sand blocks near your base. Crystal seeds will grow into crystal formations over time. You can speed up growth by placing them in optimal conditions—check the Codex for specific requirements.
Build Your Resonance Network
Once crystals are mature, place resonance pedestals adjacent to them. Each pedestal connects to nearby crystals and begins generating wireless power. The pedestals form a network that radiates energy in a radius around them.
Place optical lenses between pedestals to amplify signal strength and extend your network's range. Lenses act as relay points and boost energy transmission efficiency.
Connect Machines
Position your machines (crushers, conveyor belts, automated systems) within the network's range. They will automatically draw power from the crystal resonance field without requiring cables. You can monitor energy levels through the Codex or by interacting with pedestals.
Expand your network by planting more crystals and adding pedestals as your factory grows.
