How to Recharge an Empty Time in a Bottle
Why It Emptied
Every time you accelerate a block, the bottle spends stored time. Eventually the indicator drops to empty and the bottle stops doing anything. This is normal — the bottle is reusable, not disposable.
Recharging
1. Confirm the bottle is actually empty by checking its tooltip or charge indicator.
2. Simply keep it in your inventory and continue playing. The bottle refills as in-game time passes, the same way it charged the first time.
3. There is no fuel, no crafting step, and no special block required to refill it.
4.
Managing the Cycle
- Plan big jobs (large farms, long smelts) around a full bottle so you do not run dry halfway.
- If you need a lot of boosts quickly, do other tasks while the bottle recharges in the background.
- You can carry the bottle everywhere; it charges whether or not you are actively using it.
Common Mistake
Players sometimes assume an empty bottle is broken or needs a recipe to restore. It does not — it is a rechargeable tool. Just keep it on you and let time do the work.
