How to Use the Crafting Core and Pedestal

Placing the Crafting Core

The Crafting Core is the central block for advanced crafting setups. Place it down and surround it with Pedestals according to the recipe you want to run. The Crafting Core reads the items on the surrounding Pedestals and produces the result when the pattern is complete.

Using Pedestals

Place Pedestals around the Crafting Core in the arrangement the recipe requires. Right-click each Pedestal to place the required item on top. Once every Pedestal holds the correct item, the Crafting Core completes the craft. This setup is used for recipes that do not fit a normal grid, including high-tier components and catalysts.

What to Craft Here

Use the Crafting Core and Pedestals for Singularities, high-tier Catalysts, and Components that feed the Ultimate tier. The Ultimate Catalyst, Ultimate Component, and Ultimate Ingot are the end targets of this chain. The Ultimate Block and The Ultimate Block are storage and display forms of the same material line.

Practical Tips

  • Count your Pedestals before starting; a missing one stalls the craft.
  • Keep spare Pedestals in a chest near the Core so you can expand the ring quickly.
  • Clear the Pedestals after each craft so the next recipe is not blocked by leftover items.
